WHY are energy drinks detrimental?

Energy Drinks

Energy drinks contain plenty of sugar (more than 9-10 cc per 200 ml) - otherwise, the caffeine will reek of bitterness. Sugar, in turn, leads to tooth decay, obesity, diabetes and numerous other diseases.  

 

Consumption of energy drinks greatly increases systolic blood pressure and causes heart rhythm abnormalities - while drinking pure caffeine has no such effects. 

 

In the long run, such consumption affects almost all systems of the body and is highly detrimental to health, up to and including pathologies.

How is sulforaphane beneficial?

Image
  Sulforaphane features antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory effects by increasing the production of a dominant nuclear transcription signal protein known as nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2, or Nrf2 for short. ⚡️ Its activity and decline have serious health consequences.  Nrf2 regulates the transcription of the antioxidant systems glutathione, thioredoxin, and enzymes involved in phase I and phase II detoxification.  ❗️This makes it one of the most potent regulators of cellular resistance to oxidative and xenobiotic stress. Sulforaphane is metabolized from glucoraphanin, and it is particularly abundant in broccoli germinated seed extract. The conversion is increased 3 to 4 times when combined with mustard myrosinase. Rosemary is another inducer of Nrf2. ‼️ In addition to antioxidant support and detoxification, foods with sulforaphane are essential in estrogen dominance; it helps restore estrogen receptor expression.

Do bananas increase serotonin levels?

Image
   A systematic review from 2007 debunks the popular myth that bananas increase serotonin levels in the brain. Although bananas do contain phytoserotonin (plant-based serotonin), serotonin does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier (which surrounds the brain).     👉🏻Serotonin derived from bananas cannot enter your brain.    Serotonin is essential for gut health and microbiota. Gut microbiota affects the production of brain neurotransmitters, including serotonin. Bananas' effect on mood enhancement is due to improved gut motility or potassium and vitamin B6 content, either of which can increase energy levels. Banana also reduces feelings of hunger.    ✅A healthy and balanced diet plays an important role in neurotransmitter production and synthesis, gut health and nervous system balance. There is a connection between diet and mood. A diet rich in nutrients is recommended to improve mood.

WHY is the world's worst pain a cluster headache?

Image
   Pain Cluster headache, aka "suicidal headache," is so severe that many scientists believe it's the worst pain a person can experience.     Cluster headaches affect men at a greater rate than women. It occurs in series every few weeks or months. Each attack lasts from 15 minutes to 3 hours. Mostly the pain is concentrated around the eyes or behind the eye.    The exact etiology of the disease is uncertain. Pathological activity of the hypothalamus is considered to play a leading role in the development of the disease, as indirectly confirmed by the rhythmic nature of the headache episodes. Triggering factors responsible for triggering new attacks are individual for each patient.
