Enhancing Energy

If the booming sales of energy drinks are any indication, it’s clear that many Americans feel they need more energy. Sales of energy drinks grew 60% from 2008 to 2012, with the total U.S. sales being more than $12.5 billion in 2012 (foodproductdesign.com). In fact, according to Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009‒2010, about 20% of Americans drink Energy drinks daily. 

These energy drinks rely primarily on the effects of large amounts of caffeine, but may also contain taurine, creatine, various herbs, plus a lot of refined sugar. The scariest trend is the number of teenagers who consume these beverages. Oh, and let’s not forget that over half of all Americans drink coffee every day, as well as the caffeinated sodas people consume. Clearly, a lot of people feel they need stimulants to cope with day-to-day life.

Unfortunately, stimulants don’t really give you energy. They actually cause your body to expend more of its energy reserves, which depletes your body over time. They also do nothing to correct the underlying reasons why people are low in energy, such as low thyroid, adrenal burn-out, blood sugar imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and most importantly, a lack of sleep. Worse yet, they can have negative effects. The number of emergency visits to medical doctors involving the side effects of energy drinks doubled between 2007 and 2011. 

So, in this Sunshine Sharing Hour, we’re going to discuss the various reasons why people don’t have enough energy and what can be done to correct them naturally. You’ll gain many valuable tips on how to get the energy you need without resorting to stimulants. Join us and learn how to give yourself a much-needed energy boost.
