Teens And Sports Drinks: The Good News

Dear Reader,

All is not lost. True that researchers have confirmed a strong link between popular sports and energy drinks and harmful behaviors like smoking, playing video games and drinking sugar-laden soda. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics says most children shouldn't be consuming these beverages, and yet they continue to be a popular choice. So what's the good news? The recent study also found that those who drink sports and energy drinks tend to be more physically active.

Researchers from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health asked almost 3,000 students in grades 6 to 12 a far reaching series of questions, finding that nearly 40% drank a sports and energy drink at least one time a week. Both boys and girls who drank these beverages on a regular basis were also more apt to smoke and play those often-vilified video games. This isn't that much of a surprise it seems, though the team cautions everyone not to take the findings as a sign of cause and effect.

What about the link between drinking these beverages and taking part in sports, or being more active in general? The research team suggests that this might be the result of sports drink makers partnering with athletic organizations to target teen athletes. They also said that the workouts don't always call for the kind of replenishment a sports drink provides. These beverages are really only necessary for those who take part in vigorous physical activity in a hot, humid climate.

Estimates appearing in the journal Pediatrics suggest that the intake of sports and energy drinks has tripled in teens during the past ten years - almost 12% of U.S. teens drink one of these drinks on any given day. This suggests that there needs to more education on the healthiest way to give water back to the body, by drinking water itself.

Understand that if a young person is drinking these all the time, they can contribute to tooth decay and extra weight.

Teens And Sports Drinks: The Good News Continued...


For boys, weekly consumption of sports drinks was significantly linked to higher TV viewing, about an added hour a week of TV time compared to boys who drank them less than once a week. The video game time was an additional four hours a week compared to those who drink these drinks less than one time a week.

What's more, these drinks can over stimulate the nervous system of a teen, likely because the dose of caffeine is designed with the fully developed adult body in mind. The impact of these drinks on teen health, including sleep and sugar consumption, has not been well studied. If you can, avoid these drinks or severely limit their consumption in children and teens. There is earlier work that links a teen's daily intake of energy drinks to a higher potential for abuse of drugs or alcohol.

Clearly being sensitized to high does of caffeine at a young age cannot be a good thing.

It's important to be aware that sports and energy type drinks do have high levels of caffeine (to give the energy), and this can have a larger impact on the less developed teen body. A moderate caffeine intake is thought to be safe, for adults at least, according to the FDA - that's 400 milligrams a day. There are no recommendations for kids or teens. Last year the agency was undertaking an examination of the safety of caffeinated products on kids and teens, but the investigations is still ongoing.

To your good health,

You cast an eye over the room - it's a total mess! Shall you pretend to be out...?

We've all been there - caught out and embarrassed by the state of our homes.

Wouldn't it be great to always have a home that's free of clutter, one you're proud of rather than embarrassed by?

Now you can.
