You always need a snack or an energy booster before you hit the gym. You\u2019re always yawning and slouching just at the thought of a workout session? Well, the magic answer for you my dear friends is, YES you need a pre-workout energy snack or a bulletproof drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re spoilt by choices available in the market so it\u2019s easy to get confused but hold on, don\u2019t forget to pay attention to WHAT you drink for a cramp-free workout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So first, let\u2019s just try to debunk some myths around the pre-workout energy drinks<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MYTH – Energy drinks make you burn more calories and lose weight.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fact – Energy drinks alone can\u2019t be the key to weight loss strategy. Weight loss comes in if the person actually does physical activity and burns calories. In fact, the sugar factor in these drinks can actually cause weight gain because sugar = added calories<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MYTH – Sugar-free energy drinks are healthier.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fact – It\u2019s true! So what happens when you opt for the sugar-free energy drink? Although sugar-free is somewhat healthier, you\u2019re still getting excessive caffeine. Which will make you more active and therefore, faster metabolism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MYTH – Energy drinks give you long-lasting energy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fact – False! Sometimes, your energy drink can \u201cgive you wings\u201d, but beware of the downfall in energy suddenly after that surge. The crashing effect is caused by the carbs a.k.a sugar within the drink. Simple carbs, the kind that are in sugars and added sugars in candy bars and cookies, create a quick boost or adrenaline of energy, but the body isn\u2019t satiated and burns it quickly leaving us feeling empty and starving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For long-term energy production, it is always good to have mid-meal snacks in small proportions and regular intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MYTH – Energy drinks help you have a better workout<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fact – There is no evidence to show improved performance with consumption of energy drinks. It is only logical that if an energy drink gives you a quick boost, it should be able to get you through a workout. Energy drinks can also be diuretics, which results in increased urination leading to dehydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MYTH – Energy drinks have more caffeine than a cup of coffee<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fact – Grabbing a cup of coffee may still be a smarter choice because, unlike an energy drink, at least you know exactly what\u2019s in your morning cuppa. They actually fall under the classification of supplements, which means that they aren\u2019t regulated and there\u2019s no control over ingredients or caffeine to ensure that they\u2019re safe for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Energy drinks can either be a quick pick for you or a health hazard, the key is moderation in consumption or nutritional supplements to keep you going once you are aware of the detrimental effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
