Energy drinks vs ENERGY Drinks

Growing up as an athlete, Gatorade was THEE sports drink. You weren't considered a REAL athlete unless you had a few bottles in your workout bag. Now, there are so many energy drinks to choose from, it can get confusing as to what is what. So let me give you my clever perspective on energy drinks. The commercials boasted about how it gives you energy and fills up with electrolytes.

Most of the energy drinks are loaded with sugar and caffeine. With such a jolt from all of that sugar and caffeine, you are sure to get a buzz. The loaded caffeine and sugar, quickly spikes up your blood levels in addition to the adrenals only to bring you back down just as quick. 

By coming down so quickly, the body becomes sluggish and craves for more. Before you know it, you are drinking another can of sugar and caffeine to bring you back up. This cycle can put wear and tear on the adrenals and blood sugar levels to the point of causing damage. Very few brands of energy drinks contain any of the necessary vitamins and minerals that you need to sustain the momentum you have without drinking more.

There are all natural drinks out that offer the energy you need to get your through the day and add the necessary vitamin and minerals you need. Green drinks for example, depending on what’s in them, can provide a full serving of fruits and vegetables, fiber and in some cases even protein. Juicing can bring energy to your morning with juice extracted from fresh fruit and vegetables. Not only do you get a few hours of energy from juicing, you also get the much needed vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Another way to get an all natural energy drink in your day is with smoothies. Smoothies can supply the body with fresh fruits, vegetables, fiber and protein when made right. While all natural juices and smoothies contain sugar and the body doesn't recognize it from table sugar or natural sugar, juices and smoothies supply the body with so much more once the sugar has burned off.
There's another family of beverages that can give you energy.  All natural drinks like teas, elixirs and tinctures can also provide the energy you are looking for without the sugar and caffeine. Not only are these drinks loaded with energy producing ingredients, they provide vitamins and minerals to help heal the body and keep it functioning properly. Herbs, flowers, herbal extracts and spices go into the development of teas, elixirs and tinctures. These ingredients have the spiritual properties of the plants and flowers for healing on all levels, which makes them excellent beverages.
