Energy Drink what good can we get?

[papADyak]

A year ago a friend of mine just died, he was into healthy living, athletic (playing basketball, badminton among others) kaso nga lang ang work nya ay hindi yata akma sa kanya.. most of the times ang work nya ay sa gabi..

then it happens, he came from work and was invited by some friends to play basketball. then dumating sya at naglaro.. after a few minutes of game napagod cguro at nag pahinga.. and have an energy drink...at bigla na lang syang natumba...and went into coma and a couple of days died.

sabi nila nakasama daw ang pag inom nya ng energy drink..

ang tanong... ano ba ang nagagawa ng energy drink sa atin at kaylan lang sya pwedeng inumin?

[KillaCrab]

teka caffeine based ba or di ang energy drink nya?

generally speaking,ang energy drink pwede mo ikumpara sa mga high octaine na gasolina.kapag ang makina wala sa kondisyon mas lalong madaling masisira kapag nilagyan ng ganyan.

Unless doctor ang nagsabi na ang energy drink ang nakamatay sa kanya then hinde yun ang nakamatay. Athletic man siya eh baka naman may tinatago o hinde nya alam na karamdaman na pala at ang pagod nya ang nagdala ng kamatayan where his body just shot down forever.

@kc... may caffeine naman ata talaga ang halos lahat ng energy drink di ba?

@holydevil..sabi nga nila hindi nga daw dapat na iniinom ang energy drink kapag pagod ka kasi mas lalo daw delikado yon...

@dok aga.. well may pumutok daw na ugat sa ulo nya which causes his coma condition.. and nde ko na din alam if such was caused by the energy drink...

@papadyak

me mga energy drink na walang caffeine tulad ng lift/lift plus (yung softdrink ng coca cola) which is marketed as an energy drink..

anyway iwasan ang magpagod pag puyat lalo na at sedentary ang lifestyle .. sa case ng kaibigan mo mukhang na overstressed nya ang heart nya.. or baka naman me preexisting condition sya

Pagputok ng ugat sounds more like a hemorrage which the drink could have contributed but was really cause by high blood pressure.

Ang alam ko boss ang energy drink dapat hindi iniinom kapag pagod ka at nagpapacool down. kapag masyadong hype ang katawan mo or pagod tapos uminom ka ng energy drink pwede ka magpalpitate at makasama sa katawan.

condolence nga po pala.


First post ko ito.(wala lang)

He is right. Baka may existing health problem/s na kaibigan mo.

When you exercise or do other physical activities you sweat resulting to loss of sodium and potassium. Energy are drinks are supposed to provide electrolytes to compensate that loss. You can also eat bananas after an exercise, it is riched in potassium.

with Energy Drinks..siguro ang COBRA na pinaka indemand sa ngayon ( sa palagay ko )..sabi nga sa tag line nila.."kapag meron ka nito wala kang talo"..

question..Totoo ba na mabisang pampagising o pag nakainum ka daw ng kape at cobra eh malamang mahirap ka sa pagtulog sa gabi..^^..

maybe the rapture or the attack simply happened at the exact same time when he drank the energy drink. i think the story needs to be clarified before you start worrying about drinking energy drinks.

It sounds to me like it was a Brain Aneurysm, as you said it was a nerve in the head that ruptured.

A brain aneurysm, also called a cerebral or intracranial aneurysm, is an abnormal bulging outward of one of the arteries in the brain. It is estimated that up to one in 15 people in the United States will develop a brain aneurysm during their lifetime.
Brain aneurysms are often discovered when they rupture, causing bleeding into the brain or the space closely surrounding the brain called the subarachnoid space, causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured brain aneurysm can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage and death.

Incidence Rates of Brain Aneurysms

• Approximately 0.2 to 3 percent of people with a brain aneurysm may suffer from bleeding per year
• The annual incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the U.S. exceeds 30,000 people. Ten to 15 percent of these patients will die before reaching the hospital and over 50 percent will die within the first thirty days after rupture. Of those who survive, about half suffer some permanent neurological deficit
• Brain aneurysms can occur in people of all ages, but are most commonly detected in those ages 35 to 60
• Women are actually more likely to get a brain aneurysm than men, with a ratio of 3:2

Energy drinks have nothing to do with that.

As you can see above, they are only discovered WHEN they rupture, there is little to no warning mechanism for them.

You will only get sugar out of energy drinks! So please anything out of normal is bad, so make it a way to drink moderately..

too easy to say it was the energy drink that caused it. it's probably heat stroke which also results to coma.

energy drinks, though, contain some chemicals that shouldn't be in your body. instead of taking on energy drinks, taking any sweet fruits or healthy chocolates will do the trick as well

most of them are caffeine based

Energy drinks are usually very high in sugar. Kaya nga tinawag na energy drink; kasi present-day science thinks energy is primarily from ATP which is from glucose. And nowadays manufacturers don't just put sugar, they normally use fructose syrup because it's cheaper. Fructose in high concentrations is more toxic to humans than glucose is.

To mask the intense sweetness, some manufacturers add a good deal of salt.

Much salt by itself is very bad for health. High sugar alone is very bad too. Combine the two and you are asking for trouble.

papadyak, if your friend was working non-stop, did not drink much water, and was kinda dehydrated when he downed the energy drink, it can really be deadly. The body will suffer severe dehydration.

Years ago, a friend of mine (lecturer in a university) dropped by a hospital for check-up. He was not actually very worried. Just feeling a little dizzy. He'd been having diarrhea for a few days. To his great surprise the doctor immediately had him hospitalized. The doctor realized he was severely dehydrated due to continuous diarrhea. The heart can just stop if dehydration is severe.
