Drinks like energy drinks and sports drinks were not much talked about at one time. Those who play sports on the field were used to drinking such drinks. But now people are very aware of exercise and fitness. There is a discussion about what is important to eat before and after exercise and what is not. Especially among the young. Seeing the stars, many people now drink various types of energy drinks and protein drinks. Many parents also give such drinks to their children. After playing sports, they feed them energy drinks or any purchased health drink. They think that this will increase the strength of the body and create energy. But it is not so. On the contrary, such purchased energy drinks can increase the risk of heart disease in children. Therefore, instead of such energy drinks that are popular in the market, parents can make energy drinks for their children at home.

Various studies say that a 330-gram bottle of energy drink contains about 10 percent sugar and caffeine. And due to these two ingredients, the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease is increasing. Such drinks are not safe for children at all.
