Be Careful of Energy Drinks

Parents be careful of what your children are drinking. Many young people are losing their lives as a result of energy drinks.

• Many energy drinks pack 2–3× more caffeine than teens should have in a whole day

• Too much caffeine can cause anxiety, jitters, headaches, and heart palpitations

• High sugar = crashes, mood swings, and inflammation

• Stimulants like guarana + taurine hit teens harder because your body is still developing

• Poor sleep from energy drinks makes school, sports, and friendships harder

“What actually gives YOU energy? "Guide your children toward:

1. Sleep

2. Hydration

3. Nutritious snacks

4. Movement

5. Stress management

   
   

Your heart is still growing. Your dreams are still growing.
