It&rsquo;s unrealistic to expect your body to adjust as soon as you get out of bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s similar to attempting to jump-start a car that has been sitting in the cold all night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential to look out for ingredients that have the property of providing you with a burst of energy instantly, with no jitters or crashes, this might be more tricky than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Caffeine\"><\/span>Caffeine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you read the back label of any energy drink, you&rsquo;ll notice that it contains caffeine. The most crucial ingredient in an energy drink is caffeine, which keeps you awake and aware after consuming it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine can help you stay alert while driving in a variety of ways. Caffeine is a short-term diuretic, which is the first advantage. This implies that&nbsp;you&rsquo;ll want to go to the washroom a lot. So you&rsquo;ll probably have to keep stopping at every gas station you see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&rsquo;re attempting to stay awake while driving, being uncomfortable is a good thing since it forces you to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Energy drinks with between 50mg and 100mg of caffeine, in my opinion, are&nbsp;ideal for long-distance driving.<\/strong> However, your caffeine tolerance levels will play a significant role in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a high caffeine tolerance, an amount like this may not affect you. You would want to consume approximately 200-300mg of caffeine, which might significantly impact your health if taken regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Increasing your caffeine intake can cause:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Addiction<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Nausea<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Headache<\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0196064497703263\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0196064497703263\" target=\"_blank\">Cardiovascular Pain<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Chest Pain<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Hallucinations<\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ajemjournal.com\/article\/S0735-6757(13)00554-8\/fulltext\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.ajemjournal.com\/article\/S0735-6757(13)00554-8\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\">Renal Failure<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Convulsions<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>According to the recommendation by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much\" target=\"_blank\">FDA,<\/a> you should not consume more than 400mg of caffeine per day.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Electrolytes\"><\/span>Electrolytes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be wondering what electrolytes have to do with energy drinks and how they can keep us awake.

Long drives can dehydrate you and cause you to lose both water and sodium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals and substances that help your body accomplish a variety of processes, including energy production and muscular contraction. <strong>Sodium, chloride, potassium, and calcium are examples of electrolytes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Not all energy drinks contain electrolytes, yet a few famous ones such as Rowdy, Rockstar Recovery, and Raze Energy Drink contain electrolytes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electrolytes keep your body <a href=\"https:\/\/justaddbuoy.com\/blogs\/hydration-station\/head-to-toe-benefits-of-electrolytes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hydrated<\/a>, which minimizes your chances of being weary, especially when engaging in strenuous activity.
