Arm Flab And Energy Drinks

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Getting rid of arm flab is not easy. And in an attempt to get a slight edge, many women turn to energy drinks. Unfortunately, energy drinks come with many side effects that add up over time.

Now energy drinks can really seduce you. After all, all you have to do is open a can, drink some liquid and you get instant energy.

But here is why you should think twice about taking energy drinks to help you get rid of arm flab:

1. Digestive issues. Energy drinks are loaded with caffeine. And one of the major side effects from chronic and high caffeine intakes is the slow degradation of digestive linings.

2. The covering up of poor sleep habits. Even though you may not feel the consequences of sleep loss because of the energizing drink, your body definitely feels it. And sleep loss is toned arms enemy number one.

3. Disturbed sleep. Everybody wakes up while they're sleeping. The awakenings are so short, however, that you don't remember them. Caffeine increases the amount of awakenings without you being aware of it. You'll wake up, be super tired and not know what happened.

4. Adrenal fatigue. If you were to continually consume energy drinks with abandon, you would reach a point where the energy burst would simply disappear. This happens because of adrenal fatigue. And chronic abuse of your adrenal system can lead to faster aging!

5. Low grade dehydration. Caffeine can mask many things. In this case, it can simultaneously mask and increase dehydration. Not a good combination for getting rid of arm flab. After all, hydration does effect metabolism and recovery from workouts. Moreover, it has a strong effect on your mood.

Energy drinks aren't all evil. They can do a great job at getting you out of a bind. The main issue is taking them on a regular basis to compensate for something else that is lacking in your daily routine. So use them in moderation when trying to get rid of arm flab. - 17273
