Health Is Fun!

smibgal asked:


My boyfriends 12 year old son has moved in with us. When he lived in Idaho with his mother she gave him fitness and engery drinks. Now he wants to drink them here, he says they wake him up in the morning. He is not active in sports and the only exrcise he gets is riding his bike around the neighborhood. So should I let him have them or are they bad for your body if you really don’t need to replace vitiams and minerals from exercising?

   The sugar and caffeine may make him more alert when he wakes up.

   If he’s eating a reasonably balanced diet, the vitamins are irrelevant. They’re a marketing gimmick, no more, no less.

   The occasional energy drink probably isn’t going to hurt him any.
