Meth in a can

Irritability. Heart arrhythmia. Osteoporosis. Withdrawal pains. The huge quantities of stimulants
in energy drinks can make them as risky as “real” drugs.

The stimulant that you take is not getting you the ‘boost’ that you are seeking and it hurts you in the long run. When you take caffeine or another stimulant into your body, it activates your adrenal glands and releases hormones in your body like adrenalin, norepinephrine, and cortisol. If you take these stimulants, they are addictive and you will build a tolerance to them. Soon, you will need to take more and more of the stimulant to achieve the desired effect, such as getting your ‘boost.’

As you take these stimulants on a daily basis, you will cause adrenal fatigue or, simply put, exhaustion. Therefore, the energy drink you are taking now is basically making matters worse for you. Over time, it will burn you out and make matters still worse. On top of that, there has been an increase of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and diabetes. This increase can be attributed, at least in part, to adrenal over-stimulation.

Fitness in a 100 words:

■ Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. ■ Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. ■ Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. ■ Regularly learn and play new sports.
