Energy Drinks: A Silent Threat to the Health of Adolescents and Youth

Energy drinks are among the most harmful products for adolescents and young people. They are marketed as boosters of mental and physical activity, while in reality, they offer no real health benefits.

The main ingredients in these drinks are:
☕ Caffeine
🍬 Sugar
Each can contains approximately 500 mg of caffeine and the equivalent of 27 tablespoons of sugar — amounts that far exceed safe limits.

⚠️ Health Risks of Energy Drinks

• ☕ Irregular and increased heart rate
• 💓 High blood pressure
• ⚖️ Increased risk of obesity and fatty liver disease
• 🍬 Higher likelihood of developing diabetes
• 🧠 Greater risk of depression and mental health disorders
• 😟 Persistent anxiety and stress

💡 Healthy Tip

Choose water and natural juices instead of energy drinks. They hydrate your body and provide energy in a natural and safe way, without harming your heart or brain.
