The pharmaceutical companies love new customers~ especially those that will be lifelong subscribers! Many teenagers today have found energy drinks and va**ng to be a social norm, but both come with heavy consequences. While big to***co is involved with va**ng distribution, companies like Pepsi and Coca Cola own a large share of a variety of energy drinks.
Va**ng comes with such side effects as lung damage, cardiovascular issues and cognitive impairment (because of heavy metals) and many of these harmful side effects cannot be reversed.
Damage from energy drinks can range from chronic heart problems, anxiety, insomnia, insulin resistance, liver damage and kidney function impairment.
The good news is, on the other hand there are many teenagers that realize the value of their health and the long term consequences. Encouraging healthy habits and understanding the keys to wellness are subjects that should be taught in schools, however it is also our job as parents and mentors to build awareness to these important life choices.
