It’s interesting to know what health gurus and personal trainers think about energy drinks. Here is what wellness expert John Rowley has to say:
Rowley said he drinks a Monster one or two times a week. He pointed out some of the benefits of caffeine, such as increased metabolism and body temperature, the latter of which might help burn calories.
A regular gym-goer, Rowley typically uses a blender to mix together Monster, protein powder, the essential fatty acid MCT oil, fiber, ice and blueberries. “I make it into a protein smoothie,” he said. “Having all that stuff combined lessens the effect of the caffeine. The fats and protein slow down digestion.”
As long as you understand the way your body reacts to caffeine, it’s OK to have an energy drink now and then, Rowley advised. Just don’t go crazy.
