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.

Letting go of energy drinks can be hard. They are ultra convenient and all you have to do is drink a bottle and instant energy is yours.

Nonetheless, here is the downside of energy drinks for getting toned arms:

1. Digestive lining degradation. Almost all energy drinks have one main ingredient in common: caffeine. And high amounts of caffeine can damage your digestive lining. It can also cause a lot of gastric distress.

2. Artificial masking of sleep debts. Just because you no longer feel the need to sleep, doesn't mean that your body isn't suffering the consequences. One consequence, is a reduction in the production of arm flab burning hormones.

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.

Now energy drinks don't have to be avoided at all times. It's ok to have one every once in a while. Just make sure you aren't chronically addicted to them. This is when you can run into some trouble. Moreover, if you really want to get rid of arm flab, loose leaf teas would be a much better option here.
