Red Ribbon Daily Fact
Student Council wants to educate you on energy drinks. Energy drinks claim to give you extra energy, increase alertness, and improve mental and physical performance. However, these drinks contain high amounts of caffeine and sugar. If you regularly consume large amounts of energy drinks you may experience increased or irregular heart rate, increased blood pressure, dehydration, sleeplessness, irritability, increased bone loss, upset stomach, and increased urination. The combination of an increased heart rate and high blood pressure has been shown to cause anxiety. What’s a better way to feel energized? Eat well, get plenty of sleep, drink water to stay hydrated, and get daily physical activity.
Don't forget to stop by the Student Council table during your lunch period to answer today's trivia question!
