Researchers found that drinking two cans of red bull everyday can increase your chances of having high blood pressure and heart rate in 15 healthy adults with the average age of 26. While the increases didn’t reach dangerous levels in the healthy volunteers, the increases in blood pressure and heart rate could prove to be clinically significant in patients with heart disease or in those who consume energy drinks often. according to study leader James Kalus. Within four hours of consuming the energy drinks, the participants maximum systolic blood pressure shot up by as much as 9.6 percent, and diastolic blood pressure increased by as much as 7.8 percent. Heart rate also went up by as much 11 percent. It is crazy to think that just drinking something as simple as a energy drink like red bull could do this much stuff to your body. Just reading these articles really makes to think about what I put into my body.
