Hello Draper! Welcome to my children’s health blog. I am a concerned parent and advocate for improved children’s health in the Draper area.
Today’s topic is energy drinks. Many Draper teens are under the false impression that energy drinks like Rock Star and Red Bull are similar to sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade.
Energy drinks are completely different from electrolyte replacement drinks and we need to help our children understand the health risks they pose. Energy drinks contain dangerous chemicals that can harm kid’s growing bodies, especially their teeth.
Energy drinks contain citric acid, fruit juices and extracts, sugar, and a dangerous chemical that gives them their bright color. They can damage tooth enamel with prolonged use.
It is important for us Draper parents to model healthy behavior for our children. If your kids see you guzzle energy drinks, you may want to think about the example you are setting.
I sell child-friendly nutritional products that are enjoyed by healthy Draper families. To order healthy energy-boosters, visit https://share-parents-of-utah.com/.
