Energy Drinks and Food Bars - Deciphering the Truth

By Kimrose Pianote


There is a wide array of differing information when it comes to energy drinks and food bars. One vindication for this is due to there being hundreds of brands which utilize generic names for their manufactured goods. Anyone can call a beverage an "energy drink" or "energy bar," but this can mean almost anything. This means you have to carefully look at each product and see what it's made from. To help you navigate through all the energy drinks and food bars available on the market today, we'll be giving you some handy techniques for figuring out what is reality and what is hype.


Be aware of where the energy in these drinks really comes from, the caffeine content. This is, of course, the same stimulant that motivates people all over the world to drink coffee or tea in the morning and throughout the day. What you'll find in these energy drinks is an exacerbated amount of caffeine when compared with a cup of coffee. Drinking energy drinks to quench your thirst results in your consuming greater amounts of them in a shorter amount of time as you gulp them down quickly. This alone can have some severe side effects associated with too much caffeine such as anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and even heart troubles. So you may want to return to the old fashioned way of getting your caffeine and switch to plain water, or at least a caffeine-free beverage when you exercise.

Energy or food bars can be nourishing, or they can be only a tad bit more than sugar-filled candy presented with healthy looking packaging. The fact is, however, you can easily eat foods that are the equivalent of a healthy energy bar without buying these packaged items. The greatest food bars have nutritionally dense foods, such as nuts, seeds and fruits, so if you become accustomed to eating these foods as snacks, you can save money and reap the same rewards. Well balanced trail mixes are a great option as a snack, as long as they're not filled ups with chocolate candy or other junk foods that are now often snuck into trail mixes. The right food bars can be nutritious, but you can also find the equivalent without buying them.

If you're looking for a healthy energy drink that has a moderate amount of caffeine and no artificial ingredients, why not drink green or black tea? Besides having a reduced amount of caffeine in comparison to coffee or other energy drinks, tea has a lot of antioxidants and is a milder option for maintaining your alertness. You can consume tea at either a hot or cold temperature, although you should be aware of high sugar contents when buying bottled iced tea from a store. Even coffee, when you don't add a ton of mild or sweetener is better for you than most energy drinks. The most excellent way to drink coffee is black, and darker roasts, and if at all possible organic are higher in antioxidants and typically lower in caffeine. Coffee and tea are energy drinks where you are least know what it is you are drinking.

If you really want to gain the best benefit from these products do your research and consider them on an individual basis to be sure you are getting a product that will benefit you rather than harm you. Not everyone has the same reaction to caffeine and other stimulants, so you also have to pay attention to how something makes you feel. Make sure that you fully understand what ingredients are in the bars you are consuming. It's important to do your own research and pay attention to your own body, and not rely on hype or advertising to guide you.
