Red Bull® Has No Guarana

- Roger Mason

You’ve seen “energy drinks” in the grocery and convenience stores. A REAL energy drink contains guarana or even yerba mate. Red Bull® is probably the best selling energy drink in the world- but it doesn’t work! It’s full of caffeine and simply doesn’t give you any energy or mild euphoria. Read the label and you’ll see. A real guarana energy drink like Dark Dog, Amp, Rock Star, or Hansen’s Stamina will clearly state on the label, “guarana extract”. But energy drinks are just NOT the way to take guarana and yerba mate.

Please read the article A Better Alternative to Coffee in our free library to learn about these two natural energizers. Coffee is highly addictive and the flavor oils are literally more harmful than the caffeine itself. French press or drip is more toxic than instant, in other words. Also coffee makes many people hungry a few hours later and therefore they gain weight. Please also read, Is Coffee Making You Fat? There are other articles in our free library about how unhealthy coffee is. That includes decaf since the flavor oils are intact.

Energy drinks are overpriced to death with an average price of about $1.99, and they are full of fructose and chemicals generally. You can’t find one brand simply made with natural fruit juice and guarana or yerba mate extract. Isn’t that strange?

You can buy guarana tablets in any health food store very cheaply such as Vitamin World or GNC. We sell both very inexpensively. You can also buy tea bags, especially the ones containing yerba mate. These are not health tonics, or anything of the like, as some companies claim- they are simply a less harmful and non-addictive alternative to coffee for people who want temporary energy and a little euphoria thrown in with the experience.

Ephedrine was banned without cause. NO ONE EVER DIED FROM TAKING EPHEDRA NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY TOOK. The media lied to you about this, like they lie about everything else, including the weather. The police state continues, and soon other safe, natural supplements like DHEA, melatonin, pregnenolone, and progesterone will be banned and made illegal. Androstenedione is now a felony! You can still buy ephedrine freely on the Internet, fortunately, for people who choose to use this. Please understand that ephedrine is chemically only one atom away from actual amphetamine and used by underground chemists to manufacture amphetamines. It must be used in moderation and only occasionally. If you take 3 or 4 times the proper amount of ephedrine you’ll get the same nerve jangling, teeth gritting effects as amphetamines. Stacker 2®, for example, is a very effective energy pill, but is full of caffeine and not recommended.

The real question is how can we have the energy we need every day without resulting to pills, capsules and teas no matter if they are technically natural? By proper diet, exercise and lifestyle, that’s how. Start by eating two meals a day rather than three. Americans eat twice the calories they need. Eat low fat, low calorie foods, not less food. The fewer calories you eat, the more energy you’ll have, plus you’ll be healthier and live longer. If you eat well, take proven supplements, balance your basic hormones, exercise regularly, fast every week, limit your bad habits (such as coffee and alcohol), and don’t take prescription drugs, you’ll have all the energy you need. Exercise, ironically, gives us more energy. Even a half hour walk every day will change your life.

Join a gym or make a gym out of your spare bedroom if you have one.

Of course some people just don’t have the time in their daily schedule to take naps. Naps give you a real power boost. Be sure to get all the sleep you need. Everyone is different and some people need more sleep than others. Always get enough sleep.

Having a high energy level depends on your total health. There are no short cuts, quick fixes or Magic Pills to do this. Look at people such as Jack LaLanne who has a great energy level in his eighties from living well.
