OLIVIE HEALTH NEWS: A close link between energy drinks and heart risks!

Researchers conducted a revealing test of 18 healthy volunteers.

Warnings about heart risks associated with alcoholic beverages follow one another and are similar. After ANSES (health security agency) last October, recent work presented by a team of German researchers at the annual congress of radiology in the United States, and show that one hour after drinking one of these drinks, the heartbeat of consumers is accelerating.

The researchers tested 18 healthy volunteers, fifteen men and three women. The average age of the group was 27.5 years old. All had an MRI just before drinking, and another one hour after consuming the beverage containing 400 mg of taurine and 32 mg of caffeine per 100 ml.

The result is more vigorous cardiac contractions after consumption, as if the patients were playing sports. On the other hand, “we need more work,” says Jonas Dörner, a researcher at the University of Bonn (Germany), to determine how long the effect of the energy drink can last as well as the effect of long-term consumption “. Another wish of researchers is to measure the impact of this type of drinks on people already suffering from heart disease.

Between 2007 and 2011 in the United States, the number of emergency department visits related to energy drink consumption nearly doubled from just over 10,000 to just over 20,000 people. In the vast majority of cases, these were young people aged 18 to 25 years.

While researchers in this study did not find any real differences in patients’ blood pressure, other work done by a team of Californian researchers last spring highlighted the opposite.

In its very comprehensive report on the state of science on the subject last October, ANSES recalled the risks of consuming this type of drink. In particular, it warned against cardiac risks related to their consumption, since it is added to cups of coffee or tea. 7% of the adult population already exceeds the level beyond which there is a risk of chronic toxicity.

Risks also exist if these drinks are added to alcohol or just before starting a physical activity. Without forgetting, ANSES reminds us, one in a thousand people has undiagnosed genetic predispositions favoring cardiac accidents.

So avoid energy drinks and focus on natural foods that can give you heart-healthy energy like bananas for example. To help prevent all kinds of heart related diseases we strongly advise you to take two tablespoons of OLIVIE PLUS 30X a day, it is a 100% natural extra virgin olive oil very rich in antioxidants.
