Compared with Monster , Red Bull has 80mg of caffeine and 27g of sugar in a can . Even though they both have the title of “ popular energy drink ”, the caffeine and sugar quantities are different .
Then , what should you drink ? Well , it is better to drink Red Bull even though you might get a smaller effect to boost your energy up , but much healthier . “ Around 100 to 150 milligrams , equivalent to one or one and a half cups of coffee , is a rough amount that will give a healthy boost , said Astrid Nehlig , an emeritus ( former ) research director at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research ”( dailymail . co . uk ). Since 100 to 150 is more than enough to wake you up , and if you are a student , then Red Bull is a better option than Monster as it contains more caffeine than recommended .
Nevertheless , instead of drinking energy drinks , it is better to take tea or coffee . There is about 77mg of caffeine in one espresso shot . This is about the same caffeine that Red Bull contains but without sugar . Since espresso shot is only made of coffee beans , the natural ingredient , it is much safer than any other energy drink . Same reason as coffee , tea , such as black tea is a better idea .
If you care about your body and health , you should see the best , suitable option for you to stay awake but in an efficient way . You would have to make a little comparison of caffeine and sugar amounts . All the hard work you do while staying awake is for your future . However , if your body becomes weaker because of a bad addiction to unhealthy energy drinks , your hard work will be in vain . So , it is important to choose the most suitable drink for yourself to satisfy you on all sides .
