Many hypertonic drinks are sold and several people seem to be unaware of the effects and hazards they may cause.
What are they? And What are the effects they cause on our health? Are the main questions that may lead to confusion or doubt in people who may have become ill informed or in possession of incomplete information on this topic.

The hypertonic beverage is the one that has a higher concentration of salts in the external environment, so that a cell in that solution loses water due to pressure difference (osmotic pressure), even dying from dehydration.
What is achieved with this type of drinks is to replenish the minerals lost in physical exercise, an example of this drink would be the "red bull".
The error that several people make is to consume these drinks in excess without having performed any type of physical activity, some of the effects caused by hypertonic beverages are: tachycardia, anxiety, dehydration, gastritis, fainting, nerve damage, Kidneys, inhibition of transmitters and conditions in blood vessels.
Caffeine is the cause of several of these effects since most of these drinks contain the equivalent of 14 cans of soda.

A study carried out by the UPAEP (Autonomous Popular University of the State of Puebla) on the consumption of hypertonic beverages states that 49% of university students consume this type of energy drinks, of which 46% consume them when they leave, 32% In the test period, 10% when doing homework and 12% on other occasions such as when you feel tired or do some physical activity. 12% of all people who consume it, if not less, make the proper use of energy drinks.
In fact, very few people are aware of the effects of these beverages and when they should be consumed, so that the proper use of these drinks must be made known to the entire population.
Many people who consume it mix it with alcohol which poses an even greater risk to health and could even become deadly.
In 2013, the US Agency for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA) reported that the number of patients seen in hospital emergency services due to the consumption of "energy" beverages increased from 10,068 in 2007 to 20,783, in 2011. The consumption of these drinks continues to increase due to the popularity or "fashion" in the young, to be part of a social group or to belong.
Another problem and mistake that is committed is the belief that these drinks are moisturizing when in fact they are not. It could be continued indefinitely about the knowledge and misinformation that people have about this type of drinks, are very ill-informed people who could fall into the effects of these.
It's your time to decide if you want to be properly informed of what goes into your body and do something about it or if you prefer to stay in the "fashion".
I hope this information has been of use to many of you and have understood a little more about the effects that these substances can have on our body. Thank you -rafamenar
