Make Your Own Natural Hypertonic Drinks

The so-called hypertonic, energy drinks or “energy drinks” are very fashionable. They are non-alcoholic drinks and endowed with certain stimulants such as caffeine or taurine, in addition to sugars that aim to combat fatigue.

But are they suitable for health? In general, these do not meet the requirements of soft drinks, nor of food or diet. 

Therefore, although they act as stimulants, we must be careful with their consumption, given the side effects that they can cause if we consume them in excess, or if we suffer from some type of ailment.

However, if you want to charge your body with energy, you should know that there are several natural hypertonic drinks without side effects. Let’s see it in detail! Not without first knowing what risk the consumption of this type of products has for your health. 

Health Risks of Hypertonic Drinks

First of all, limit your consumption

The main risk is in two substances: taurine and glucuronolactone. The first can affect our brain, while the second usually affects the kidneys.

On the other hand, these types of drinks can cause intestinal problems. In addition, despite the fact that sometimes their labeling indicates that they have natural components, experts say that these are actually powerful diuretics, so we have to be careful.

Damage to the circulatory system

The composition of the “energy drinks” based on taurine, ephedrine, guanine and arginine, can pose a serious danger to people with coronary problems and other conditions.

Likewise, if we consume a lot of energy drinks we can suffer arrhythmias.
