Can Energy Drinks Really Boost Your Metabolism? Here’s What The Science Says.

While fitness influencers tout energy drinks as Metabolism Stimulants, experts reveal whether these Beverages actually help you shed pounds.

Energy drinks have taken on a new role. Now, in the hands of gym-goers and fitness influencers, they are being used not just to help you stay up but also to slim down.

While many energy drinks pack a lot of sugar (and thus calories), low-calorie options have flourished. Some brands suggest that choosing their low-calorie drink over a sugary option can aid in weight management.

Others go further, claiming the drinks help boost metabolism and enhance fat burning. But can energy drinks really help you shed pounds? Here’s what some experts say.

Drink Up To Slim Down?

“Any kind of caffeinated drink will increase metabolism in the short term,” says Andrew Jagim, a sports medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic and one of the authors of the International Society of Sports Nutrition’s position on energy drinks. The problem is that a daily intake of 100mg of caffeine is estimated to burn 100 calories a day. “It’s probably not going to be enough to really move the needle in terms of substantial fat loss over time,” says Jagim.

Jeffrey Stout, an exercise physiologist at the University of Central Florida who has conducted studies for an energy drink brand, adds, “energy drinks seem to have limited effect as a weight loss aid when used alone but appear to be more effective when combined with exercise.”

So, while there is support for these companies to say their drinks boost metabolism, the results are far from dramatic, says Lena Bakovic, a registered dietitian with Top Nutrition Coaching. “There is no correlation between energy drink consumption and weight loss at this time,” she says.

For most energy drinks, caffeine is the main active ingredient, often mixed with taurine, glucuronolactone, guarana, and B vitamins, to create what manufacturers call an “energy blend.” However, some of the long-term safety and effectiveness of some of the ingredients in energy drinks haven’t been thoroughly studied, especially in combination. “Because energy drinks are not regulated by the FDA, the actual quantity of ingredients listed on the label may also be inaccurate,” says Bakovic.

In some cases, the caffeine in energy drinks is derived from guarana, a plant native to the Amazon that contains more caffeine than coffee, tea, and yerba mate. Another common ingredient is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a compound from green tea that may boost metabolism and fat oxidation. Taurine, an amino acid naturally present in meat, fish, and eggs, is believed to enhance exercise performance. Some energy drinks also include chromium, which one study suggests helps control hunger, but results from other studies are mixed.

Additionally, some of these low-calorie energy drinks contain low-calorie or calorie-free sweeteners, such as erythritol, sucralose, and stevia. While generally considered safe, the taste can be off-putting, and erythritol may cause digestive issues in some people.

Jagim notes that other common ingredients like electrolytes and B vitamins pose neither a high risk nor a significant reward. B vitamins, for example, are found in meat, dairy, leafy greens, and beans and have many roles, including in energy production. Supplementing them may help if you’re deficient (as can be the case for vegans and vegetarians), but if you get enough, you’ll just pee out the excess, says Jagim.

Sip With Caution

Although short-term use appears safe for healthy adults, the long-term effects of energy drinks are still under study. Jagim says that anyone who consumes a lot of caffeine—a morning coffee, a pre-workout energy drink, and an afternoon pick-me-up—is bombarding their system with stimulants. “Your stress levels are going to be elevated throughout the day and we know that can have detrimental effects long term,” he says.

The FDA advises adults to keep their caffeine intake under 400 milligrams daily. To put that in perspective, a 12-ounce can of caffeinated soda usually has 30 to 40 milligrams of caffeine, an 8-ounce cup of tea contains 30 to 50 milligrams, and an 8-ounce cup of coffee has about 80 to 100 milligrams. Energy drinks, however, can pack anywhere from 40 to 250 milligrams of caffeine per 8-ounce serving.

Bakovic and Jagim advise against using energy drinks daily because it could lead to dependence. “The negative health effects would definitely outweigh the slight benefit you get from the metabolic standpoint,” says Jagim.

Stout agrees energy drinks shouldn’t be relied on as a weight loss strategy. “Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, proper sleep, and staying hydrated primarily with water,” he says.

I heard tequila is a metabolic stimulant so thats why it seems like an upper when all alcohol is still a depressant

[batsarebetterthanpeople]

I'm literally so lazy that I do too much. Like I know how to make a sketch from scratch I do it often enough but instead you'll catch me taking my clothes off, putting on my Jack wig and stache and my strap on and posing for a camera so I can just trace myself because I don't wanna make a sketch.

Anyway Jack and Stede might be a little skinny in the next divorce court poster but also I may over compensate and they could be a bit bigger than they are who knows, not me. Still holding out to strike a perfect balance.

[zombieshed]

People have told me “oh if you have adhd, stimulants will always work it will always help”

Or “oh if you have adhd like if you were diagnosed then you will be put on adderall.” So me telling people I’m not medicated has them thinking I don’t have it.

I’ve taken addys recreationally in high school and idk if I would like that to be my normal. I feel like I’m the only one with adhd who gets more hyper on adderall. But I refuse to believe I don’t have adhd because there’s nothing else that makes sense and if I don’t have adhd then [insert spiral of thoughts here]

Ya feel? (If you see this and wanna talk ab it or give me answers PLEASE feel free to)

reminder that adhd medication isn’t a luxury or preference, but a lifesaving medication. a 10 year long study in the usa showed that, when properly medicated, the rate of car crashes people with adhd get into goes down significantly–men’s rate drops by 38%, and women’s by 42%. the med shortage, denial of meds by doctors, rising prices, and war on drugs has killed–with such a car dependent society, not driving frequently isn’t an option, which means we need better healthcare and need it now.

Astrology Oberservations - 41 🦃

Aquarius placements look really good in circle frame glasses.

Aries moon women I notice are single most of their life or don’t really date until later in life. They are very emotionally independent which can intimidate men into getting serious with them. If they do end up having a lot of relationships however they are usually pretty short termed until they mature.

On the other hand libra moons usually maintain healthy long term relationships. They usually have no issue finding a partner & a lot of people have crushes on them!

Neptune in the 1st house can give the native eyes that people can’t tell what color they are. They truly have the most beautiful eyes of the zodiac.

Gemini placements are way more sexual than Scorpios. They can detach from sex easily so it’s easy and stimulating for them to hook up a lot. I notice a lot of pronstars and sex workers have heavy Gemini placements. Scorpios are sexual but I feel most prefer emotional intimacy before giving up their bodies.

Saturn in the 7th house people I’ve seen tend to look more like their grandmas than their parents. Their grandmothers also could’ve impacted them a lot growing up and were usually the closest to their grandmas.

Capricorn risings tend to have very fast metabolisms. They can eat a lot and barely gain any weight. (Very blessed imo) I also notice that their hands and feet are always FREEZING 24/7. Their body temperature in general is normally very low, they get cold very easily. (Saturn is the coldest planet after all)

Venus in Pisces normally have really nice full lips (especially in the 1st house)

Libra suns are usually the prettiest in the room always.

Pisces moons just ghost people randomly. They will just stop reaching out of nowhere then will hyu months later and you find out they moved halfway across the world and are expecting a kid lmao. They do this to friends and family. Can be really secretive about their lives and what’s going on in them.

Taurus sun/moon women look amazing without makeup and they usually prefer a bare face over makeups. If they do wear makeup it’s usually very natural looking most I notice aren’t into heavy makeup looks.

Moon in libra/leo/pisces have a hard time being single

Moon in aries/capricorn/aquarius usually find it more comfortable to be single over having a partner.

Mars in Leos care a lot about their reputation and always want to come off as successful or the best. They can have very big egos & can get really pissy when people say things that make them look bad or embarrass them in any way.

Taurus/Pisces mars tend to have issues with binge eating when stresssed or anxious.

Libra Venus women tend to play dumb a lot to seem more attractive to guys.

Cancer moon women are usually such girly girls💕 they are so ethereal

Libra mars people have amazing bodies (especially the women).

I hope everyone have a fun and safe thanksgiving yesterday! Happy late turkey day 🦃🤣♥️

THE BENEFITS OF IVERMECTIN. IF YOU HAVE CANCER, FREQUENT COLD OR INFECTIONS, MUSCLE SHRINKAGE, CARDIAC ISSUES, CROHNS, HERPES, ETC.

The study was published in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science.  LET'S TALK ABOUT IVERMECTIN 1 – Ivermectin prevents the damage caused to RNA Vaccines.  2 – Ivermectin blocks the entry of Spike Protein into cells.  So, if the person was vaccinated with COVID, they have hope, they have a way to treat themselves through Ivermectin.  3 – Ivermectin is a treatment after Covid and after vaccination, it is an effective medicine in all phases of Covid 19, even before entering the cell, Ivermectin already destroys the virus in the blood.  It only has beneficial effects and no harmful effects in the treatment of the coronavirus.  4 – Ivermectin has a very powerful anti-inflammatory action against Coronavirus.  5 – Ivermectin has a powerful action for traumatic and orthopedic injuries, it strengthens muscles and has no side effects like corticosteroids.  6 – Ivermectin treats autoimmune ailments such as: rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, allergic rhinitis.  7 – Ivermectin reduces the frequency of flu and colds.  8 – Ivermectin improves the immunity of cancer patients.  9 – Ivermectin treats Herpes Simplex and Herpes Zoster.  10 – Ivermectin reduces the frequency of sinusitis and diverticulitis.  11 – Ivermectin protects the heart in cardiac overload, in an embolism for example, it prevents cardiac hypoxia because it stimulates the production of basic energy so that the tissue is not destroyed and thus improves cardiac function.  12 – Ivermectin is antiparasitic.  13 – Ivermectin is anti-neoplastic (anti-cancer), it suppresses the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells, only killing cancer cells and preserving healthy cells, improving the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatment, as it kills cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy, defeating the resistance to multiple chemotherapeutics that tumors develop, and combined with chemotherapy and/or anti-cancer agents, it provides an increase in the effectiveness of these treatments.  14 – Ivermectin is antimicrobial (bacteria and viruses), and increases immunity.  15 – Ivermectin reaches the Central Nervous System and regenerates the nerves.  16 – Ivermectin regulates glucose and insulin metabolism.  17 – Ivermectin regulates cholesterol metabolism.  18 – Ivermectin reduces liver fat in steatose.  19 – Ivermectin protects the liver exposed to insecticides.  20 – Ivermectin attacks the virus wherever it is, regardless of mutations.  21 – Ivermectin serves for the prevention and treatment of coronavirus, surprisingly.  Unproven efficacy is not of Ivermectin, but of vaccines.  22 – Ivermectin, used as a prophylactic agent, was associated with a significant reduction in infection, hospitalization and mortality rates due to COVID-19.  23 - Ivermectin does not attack the liver, since it is not metabolized in it, and if in the intestine, on the contrary, it protects the liver.

getting over your morning grogginess

hydrate: starting your day with a glass of water is essential. after hours of not drinking, your body needs rehydration. it can help kick-start your metabolism and make you feel more awake.

stretch or exercise: engaging in a few light stretches or a brief walk can get your blood flowing and increase oxygen to your brain. it’s a great way to shake off sleepiness and energize your body.

fresh air: stepping outside for fresh air can be invigorating. natural light helps regulate your body’s internal clock and boosts your mood, while the change in environment can stimulate your senses.

caffeine: a cup of coffee or tea can give you a nice energy boost. caffeine stimulates your central nervous system, helping you feel more alert. just be mindful not to overdo it, as too much can make you jittery.

cool shower: a quick cool or lukewarm shower can wake up your senses. the sudden change in temperature can be invigorating and help you feel more refreshed.

i hope this is helpful!! 🫶nene
