In today's world there is no such thing as too much energy.

Everyone wants energy, as much as they can pack in. And they

want to have the energy instantly. Energy drinks have filled in this

modern human need quite effectively. They give you the instant

burst of energy that you always wanted. Energy when you need it

-- like flicking a switch.

Many people go for energy drinks at times of increased physical

and mental stress -- to improve their alertness, concentration, and

performance. Surveys have shown that many of the world's top

athletes and drivers consume energy drinks. Many people with

active lifestyles depend on energy drinks to revitalize their body

and mind. While the short-term effectiveness of energy drinks

cannot be disputed, their long-term effects need to be carefully

studied.

Energy drink companies also claim that their products enhance

focus and concentration, improve short term memory, and contain

much less sugars than normal soft drinks.

Most energy drinks are said to provide a combination of B vitamins,

amino acids, and stimulants such as caffeine or guarana. Energy

drinks come in different fruity flavors. What energy drinks do is

convert sugars contained in them (fructose and glucose) into

energy and at the same time stimulate the red blood cells to

release more oxygen. This is the source of the instant energy in

the energy drinks.

Energy drinks also contain citric acid which is harmful to the teeth.

The unpredictability of the use of energy drinks lies in the fact that

they produce different reactions in different people. Energy drinks

have stimulating properties that can boost the heart rate and

blood pressure. Taken in excess, energy drinks can dehydrate the

body and, like other stimulants, they also prevent sleep.

But as long as the modern world demands high-intensity bursts of

energy from the human beings who run it, people will continue to

consume energy drinks. The question is how to get instant energy

without the drawbacks associated with energy drinks.

Fortunately, there is a way out. The wonder sugars that can keep

you in a high-energy orbit without the harmful effects associated

with energy drinks have now been discovered. A lot of research is

currently going on into the role played by glyconutrients, a class of

saccharides usually found in plant sugars, in the development of

the human body. Glyconutrients are called 'sugars that heal' for

the amazing role they play in human health.

Glyconutrients are necessary for some of the fundamental

biochemical processes in the body, such as cell-to-cell

communication. Eight of these sugars have been identified as

particularly useful for the body. Our diets usually provide us with

two of these eight sugars. The rest of the sugars can also be

supplemented by taking fruits and vegetables. But glyconutrients

are found only in fruits grown organically and these have to be

consumed within 24 hours to get the right amount of nutrition.

Energy drinks and supplements with glyconutrients - called

glyconutritionals --are now available. For your body to be free of

fatigue and to perform optimally, the bodily functions have to take

place like clockwork. This is what the glyconutrients do - they keep

the communication links open between cells. With glyconutrients

keeping cellular communication pathways open, and the immune

and endocrine systems in top working order, your body will not feel

any fatigue.
