[Sakuragi]

hello,
do energy drinks have any bad effects or side effects??
how about long term taking of energy drinks??

what about those weight gain formulas for body builders??
thanks

[Ira]

What particular energy drink are we talking about here?

[anghel]

oo nga doc ira. iyung mga lipovitan and red bull. kasi before kapag nagpupuyat kami, dalawang ganon ang iniinom namin, ok lang ba iyun?

at how about those snapples and gatorade? ano ba ang ginagawa niya sa body natin?

thanks:angel:

[Sakuragi]

yups red bull and lipovitan nga yung sinasabi ko :D

also how about yung weight gain formulas like mega mass 2000 and yung gainers fuel ng twinlab, kasi balak ko na ulit mag gym dahil nangayayat ako sa trabaho ko eh,
also is it true na liliit daw yung **** pag nag weigyhts???


and may nabasa ko na post nakalimutan ko na saan na pag marami protein kinakain nag proproduce ng ammonia yung katawan , yun ba yung isang reason sa putok??

i noticed kasi na medyo minsan amoy ammonia ako konti sa tagal ko na walang exercise, pero dati regular exercise wala ganung amoy.......


tnx

Red Bull and Lipovitan are okay, they're basically just mineral drinks with caffeine and sugar. It's okay to drink 2 of them if you want, although if you get jumpy with a cup of coffee, you may want to limit intake of these types of drinks.

Snapple is just flavored iced tea. Gatorade is a sports drink that contains sodium, glucose, carbohydrates, and minerals, and it efficiently replaces the fluids and electrolytes that are lost in sweating (or even diarrhea) as well as provide energy much better than plain water can.

I don't usually advice taking protein drinks like Megamass or whatever they're called. In extreme cases, they may cause kidney problems due to protein overload. Most of them don't really have sufficient research to back up their safety. Just eat a balanced diet, or just take extra servings of dietary protein if you want.

[neptune]

ey, i'm just curious, nakaka-baog ba ang energy drinks? sabi kse nung classmate ko dati nakaka-baog daw!

[Ira]

Nope.

[numb_girl19]

hi..
doc Ira caffein and sugar ba reson why pag nagtake ka ng energy drink mukang neeenergize ka? kasi ba parang pag coffee pangpagising and sugar parang pangpahyper? ganon ba yon?
tnx!

[Ira]

Yup.

[isle of view]

question lang po.. nakaka-dehydrate ba ang mga energy drinks? kasi kapag umiinom po ako ng isang bote (yung pinakamalaki), nag-dry ang lips ko..
thanks!:)

[Ira]

Nope.

doc Ira, i just got my thread "panlaban sa puyat" closed. thanks, anyway, for the thread links you've provided. however, i think i didnt have my questions answered. most of those threads are about sleeping disorders. what im looking for are medicine drugs (like energy drinks) that will help in building body resistance especially when "nagpupuyat." some suggested taking vitamin c, others, iron.

thanks Doc Ira ;)

You're welcome, isle of view.

Marius: There is no medication which will build up body resistance when your body already needs rest. If there was, then we wouldn't need doctors in this world. You can take multivitamins, but that will only work to a limited extent at best.
