The Skinny About Naked Drinks

I have often asked myself the important question, "How can I get my daily vegetable and fruit intake in one painless go?" We all know the hindrance that eating fruits and vegetables can give, especially when we are busy and can't prepare fresh fruit or vegetables. We are going to go over four things that you need to know about Naked drinks and the benefits of these great drinks. Let's get started on these 4 things and break it down!

1. Get Daily Fruits and Veggies
You can get your daily fill of fruits and veggies from these Naked drinks! I have often enjoyed a strawberry banana flavored Naked drink. They use math and a mallet to get way more fruits and veggies into that small bottle.

2. No Added Sugar
There is no added sugar to these Naked drinks. All of the sugar that composes these tasty drinks is natural from fruits and veggies. It's best to limit how many of these drinks you drink. They are so incredibly good for you, but beware of the higher sugar content.

3. Not All Natural
In an attempt to educate you on these drinks I would like to say that there was a lawsuit filed against Naked in 2012 and carried out in 2013 because the materials in the drink were not all natural. These drinks are mostly natural, but they can not claim to be all natural. Nevertheless, these drinks are phenomenally good for you!

4. Antioxidants  
These drinks are full of antioxidants and they taste really good. The antioxidants are great for boosting your body's immune system or help reboot your body's immune system if you're sick. These drinks may not be as good for your weight loss and diet because they are higher in sugar, but they are very high in good energy!

I hope that you guys have a better education about Naked drinks and that you will consider drinking these drinks and using them for energy. There are so many PROS to these Naked drinks and are some of the best, "pick-me-ups" out on the planet. We propose that you drink these great Naked drinks, but please, for the love of everything that is good, keep your clothes on!

Energy Drinks, A Tasty Dose of Death?

Okay, okay, so your concerned about energy drinks with all this talk of people dying from them. I too would want to know what in the world was happening with them. In this blog post I am going to go over some aspects to energy drinks including how much it takes for toxicity.
So, let's get started as we explore energy drinks.

1. Caffeine
Energy drinks contain huge amounts of caffeine within the walls of that can or bottle.
Caffeine was originally used in sports to enhance endurance when running hard short distances.
One cup of coffee has 18-48mg of caffeine, and energy drinks sometimes have the caffeine of three or four cups of coffee.
While it would take an astronomical amount of caffeine to die, it has been suggested that caffeine contributes to toxicity as well as other factors we will discuss.

2. Ginseng and Taurine
Ginseng is used in energy drinks to decrease stress levels and increase energy levels.
This is one of those contributing factors that helps with toxicity with caffeine.
Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid that occurs in the body.
It is used to regulate heartbeats and muscle contractions.
It too has been suggested that taurine coupled with caffeine can make for a high that can be toxic at high dosages.

3. Guarana Seed Extract
Guarana seed extract is also a stimulant that is present in energy drinks.
It contains high levels of caffeine that boost caffeine levels to even higher rates!
It is also an appetite suppressant.

4. Alcohol
Alcohol is mixed in energy drinks by some people.
Alcohol is very toxic when consumed at huge amounts.
Mixing alcohol and energy drinks can and is deadly.

5. Dose of Death?
Some energy drinks have deadly amounts of minerals in them, but you would have to drink so much of it that it would take so many to kill you. Nonetheless, there are too many people with high blood pressure, heart problems and other body malfunctions that drink energy drinks when they should not be drinking them. I mean, would you rather be groggy from not drinking the drink, or would your rather drink it and be subconsciously killing yourself.

So, we can see that energy drinks have had a bad rap. I would suggest in my opinion to stay away from energy drinks. Energy drinks are deadly, especially for smaller body types and children. This is just my opinion. These amounts of caffeine and taurine put together with ginseng and guarana seed extract make for a deadly combination. Energy drinks were not made for children, they were made for consenting adults. If you are an adult, drink responsibly and be wise!

*DISCLAIMER* I am not saying that people should drink them to overdose and die. Furthermore, I do not take any responsibility for anyone dying or getting hurt.
