    If you enjoy drinking energy drinks to stay awake or mixing it with alcohol, a new study has proved a link between energy drink consumption and adverse heart reactions.

    According to the researchers at The University of Adelaide, drinking more than 2 energy drinks per day is linked to heart problems such as heart palpitations, chest pain and an accelerated heart beat.

    The survey included 60 patients between the ages of 13 and 40 who attended an emergency department in SA with heart palpitations. The study showed that 36 per cent had consumed at least 1 energy drink during the previous 24 hours.

  • Research Says Alcohol Consumption Worse for the Poor

    Research out of the UK revealed that the consequences of drinking could be worse for people from poorer communities, despite consuming the same amount as people from wealthier communities.

    Alcohol related ill health seems to be more prominent among people from deprived areas and UK scientists think they have a reason why.

    According to scientists the ill health is not so much to do with drinking alcohol alone but with combining alcohol consumption with other bad lifestyle choices such as a bad diet, being overweight, failure to exercise and smoking.

    Researchers found that 66.9  per cent of drinkers at an increased risk of ill health lived in non-deprived areas had at least one other health risk behaviour as compared to 83.2 per cent of those living in deprived communities.

     

    Researchers say that harms from alcohol consumption should not be viewed in isolation.
