Energy drink, is that a good idea?
by Felix T on Jul 23, 2024
Do you often feel tired at the end of the day ? Or sometimes even after lunch ? Don't worry, there are solutions for this.
I often find myself yawning in the middle of the day and feeling exhausted for no apparent reason .
When our energy levels drop, it’s tempting to reach for an energy drink . For many, it’s even a ritual. But while energy drinks may give you a temporary boost , the familiar afternoon slump follows. Suddenly, you feel tired, unmotivated and unable to concentrate . Another energy drink then? Unfortunately, energy drinks only make your slump worse , so it’s better to take a different approach.
So energy drinks are not a good solution for your dull and tired feeling. What you need is a natural and healthy way to keep your energy up all day long . A solution that ensures that you no longer experience that sudden fatigue.
There are three main reasons why you feel tired and can no longer concentrate. In this blog article we will discuss the 3 main reasons and give you the most effective solutions . This way you can discover for yourself what will help you the fastest.
Is energy drink addictive?
Yes , energy drinks like Red Bull, Golden Power energy drink, Nalu and Monster Energy are addictive .
Energy drinks give your dopamine levels a huge boost . Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that your brain produces to reward you for the energy boost. It makes you feel good and you want to experience that good feeling again and again.
But that's not all... Energy drinks contain three times more caffeine than soft drinks. The high dose of caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, makes your heart beat faster and increases your blood pressure . This gives you a powerful, but short-term energy boost. The result? An energy dip when the caffeine wears off.
Try this first before you try our powerful formula
1. Your body needs more hours of sleep than you think
Your body needs about 7-9 hours of sleep . As soon as you sleep less than 7 hours regularly, deficiencies can be found in your body and brain . And by sleep, we mean quality sleep (deep sleep and REM sleep). Sleeping pills, alcohol and other substances cause your sleep quality to decrease.
Have you noticed that you 've been sleeping less well lately ? Your sleep quality has a big impact on your energy levels . Luckily, you can fix this in no time, without drastically changing your lifestyle .
Curious?
Three pharmacists developed a unique and natural formula which will give your sleep quality a huge boost.
2. Choose the right exercise
Being lazy makes you tired , that's true. If your body doesn't need energy , because you're sitting still for a long time, for example, it wo n't produce any energy.
The same goes the other way around, if you move a lot, your body will produce more energy. When you move a lot during the day, your body gets tired towards the end of the day, which makes it easier and better to sleep. This makes it easier to create a good sleep routine.
Not all sports or exercise are optimal for your energy levels. Focus on zone 2 training . This increases the amount and efficiency of energy-producing cells . About 150-200 minutes of zone 2 cardio per week seems ideal. So every day 20-30 minutes of cycling, jogging, brisk walking...
Tip: You reach Zone 2 cardio when you can just about have a normal conversation during your activity.
3. Foods that give your body more energy than they take away
The right nutrition ensures that your body receives the right amount of energy . A healthy diet is of course different for everyone. Some people digest carbohydrates very poorly, while others have difficulty with fats. Every body is different , but in general we can establish a number of basic rules. Two factors are important here:
- A constant sugar level in your blood: Avoid fast sugars (such as sweets), which cause peaks and troughs in your blood sugar level.
- A healthy microbiome in your gut: Avoid processed foods and eat whole grains, complete proteins and plenty of fiber.
By the way, give it some time, 1 healthy meal won't make a big difference.
But, there's something else...
Your body often has difficulty extracting energy from your food . If your body does not efficiently absorb the nutrients in your food , you will not have the desired effect.
Your intestines need to be given the chance to get everything out of your food. Fortunately, there are natural substances that can support you in this. This way, you can feel great in your skin again.
The 4 active substances that give your body more energy
Two of the following active ingredients help your body produce more energy , while the other two give your body more energy. By combining these four active ingredients , you create a miracle cure for your well-being.
The 2 most important vitamins that ensure that your body produces more energy
1. Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is the most important vitamin for your body to get more energy from your food . This vitamin is only found in animal products , making this a very popular supplement for vegans.
Vitamin B12 plays an active role in the production of red blood cells, and has an indirect stabilizing effect on your blood sugar level. In addition, B12 is responsible for the absorption of nutrients from your food.
2. Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 improves your cognitive function , reduces fatigue and improves your mood. Vitamin D3 ensures that your intestines absorb substances such as magnesium better . It also strengthens your immune system , so that your body has to put less energy into fighting disease.
Vitamin D3 has various functions in your body, from supporting your resistance and energy levels to the stability of your nervous system. For example, vitamin D3 also stimulates the pancreas and insulin production . It therefore plays an important role in regulating your blood sugar levels . This way, you get fewer sugar dips. Ideal for people with diabetes or people who quickly get tired of their sugar dips.
So simply eat healthier?
Our modern and fast lifestyle does not always allow us to eat healthy and balanced every day . To make sure you get enough vitamins, supplements are often recommended. Vitamin D3 is a popular supplement, but in combination with other natural substances it is truly a miracle formula.
Because most people really want a boost and want to feel fit quickly, the following 2 substances exist.
The 2 natural substances that give you more energy
1. CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10 occurs naturally in every cell and is essential for energy production in your body.
Our body produces CoQ10 itself, but often insufficiently. A large number of vitamins are needed for this (such as the one above). Science shows that an amount of 100 mg per day , noticeably increases your daily energy.
2. Ginseng root
Ginseng is a Korean plant whose root has an energy-boosting effect . There are no foods that naturally contain ginseng. Ginseng is often added to supplements, energy drinks or food. The plant is known for its ability to reduce fatigue and promote energy and focus.
Several studies have shown that ginseng reduces fatigue and boosts alertness. It is the active substances in the root, called ginsenosides, that create the effect.
Ginseng
Gives your body an energy boost.
Vitamin B12
Ensures the production of red blood cells, which are needed to produce energy.
Vitamin D3
Ensures better absorption of calcium, magnesium and phosphates in your intestines.
Coenzyme Q10
Enzymes that your cells need to convert other substances into energy.
So if you want to feel a quick difference in your daily energy, you have 2 options ; suddenly drastically change your lifestyle with sports and a strict diet or start with supplements. But both solutions are not so obvious. Supplements often taste bad and you quickly forget to take them. Especially when you have to take about 4 a day.
The easiest solution for noticeably more energy
Supplements are generally not a fun habit because:
- you forget to take them;
- they often taste bad ;
- they are irritating to swallow ;
- they are not even that effective , because their absorption could be better.
When you don't experience something as fun, it's harder to keep it up. That's what we want to change.
In my previous job, it became a habit to have to fight sleep during afternoon meetings to stay focused . I almost fell asleep sometimes, and that did not go unnoticed by some...
I was fed up with it, so I started drinking coffee and energy drinks excessively. I also watched what I ate during lunch break; not too heavy or too fatty.
In addition, I decided to take supplements. Vitamins, minerals... I don't like taking capsules and actually have trouble with them. That's why I never stick to supplements in the end.
I was spending up to €80 per month on supplements!
I was looking for a fun, affordable and easy tool that offered everything I needed for a lasting result.
That turned out to be hard to find, so I decided to change tack and bring a solution to the market myself . That way I can help other people who have the same problem as I had before.
