Be careful! Do you know what's in your energy drink?

Check the label before you buy—make sure you know exactly what’s in your energy drink, especially the caffeine and sugar content. Limit yourself to one or two servings a day. For most popular brands, that’s about 16 ounces max. Less is better. Skip energy drinks before workouts or sports. The combo of caffeine and exercise can stress your heart more than you think. Never mix energy drinks with alcohol. It can mask how intoxicated you really are and lead to risky decisions. If you have heart issues, high blood pressure, or you’re pregnant, talk to your doctor before drinking any energy drinks. And if you feel jittery or get a racing heart, cut back or stop altogether. It’s all about moderation and knowing your limits. Energy drinks aren’t a substitute for sleep or a healthy diet. #EnergyDrinkSafety #SmartChoices #CaffeineAwareness #Food #Cooking
