ElectroBliss - rehydrate and recover


         


Energy drinks are supposed to do exactly what their name suggests - "gives an extra boost of energy". It turns out that most of this "energy" comes from two main ingredients: sugar and caffeine. A typical energy drink can contain up to 80 milligrams of caffeine (about the same amount as a cup of coffee). In comparison, a 2006 study found that the average 12 grams of soda contains 18 to 48 mg of caffeine.



In addition to caffeine levels, how do energy drinks differ from soft drinks and sports drinks? Soft drinks are mainly water, sugar and aromas. They do nothing for your body. They are just supposed to taste good. Sports drinks are designed to replenish fluids lost during activity. They usually contain water, electrolytes and sugar. Energy drinks have added caffeine and other ingredients that, according to their manufacturers, increase endurance and "boost" performance. They are designed for students, athletes and anyone who wants extra energy.
