Another study of college student consumption found 50% of students drank at least one to four energy drinks a month.

...Cells and hormones play a big roll on how big you are and how your body regulates energy. Food equals energy and the body stores that energy in fat cells and uses the energy as needed. The metabolism breaks down that food and uses the energy generated from that food for everyday activities such as walking, talking, thinking. The faster ones metabolism is the more efficient they are at breaking down food and using the energy. The slower the metabolism the more energy gets stored and gets turned into fat cells and not used. The hormone leptin, which is produced in fat cells, sends signals to the brain telling it that its levels are dropping which means the cells are reducing. When this occurs the brain processes that information as starvation and sends signals back to slow down the metabolism and store as much energy as possible. There are people who eat less than other but still gain weight. That’s a biological problem. There are areas in the brain research has found that if damaged can lead to obesity. One such area is the ventromedial hypothalamus and the surrounding axons. If this area in the brain is damaged at then this can lead to overeating and more storing of fat cells. Research conducted on rats at the University of Nebraska looked at this area in the brain and how it affects food intake and body weight. With damage to that area the rat nearly tripled in size in the cores of about sixty days. Food intake does not always correspond to body weight. It is possible to excessively...

...Why is Red Bull one of the most successful energy drinks in the world? Your essay must explain how and why Red Bull has selected their target market, positioned their product and created a brand that supports their positioning. By: Tegan Effting March 2010 Introduction Red bull is an energy drink; a functional beverage that claims to “give you wings!” It certainly worked for Dieter Mateschitz and Chaelo Yoovidhya, the creators of Red Bull, who have soared into the shared position number 208 on the Forbes list of richest billionaires of 2010 with individual net worths of $4.1 billion self created between the launch date in 1987 and today. So what is it that has made Red Bull one of the most successful energy drinks in the world? Designed to improve stamina, the ingredients of Red Bull boost performance by increasing alertness, concentration and reaction speed, making it the perfect supplement for periods of heightened physical pressure and mental stress. (Simpson J & B Dore, 2008). The drink is a variant of Yoovidhya’s Krating Daeng, a tonic discovered by Mateschitz who was awed by its powerful effect on reducing his jetlag post travel to the Far East. Mateschitz had experienced nothing as effective in the Western market and saw huge potential for a more palatable version amongst the Westerners, who needed more than one of the few existing sports energy drinks to help relieve them of the symptoms of a busy lifestyle. In 2006 it was recorded that more than three...

...water in the body? What is the general effect of dehydration on the body? How can you prevent dehydration? These are the functions and sources of minerals and water in the body, and the general effect of dehydration, and how to prevent it. Functions and sources of minerals Minerals contribute to the body's structure and help regulate body processes. Many serve more than one function. For example, we need calcium to keep our bones strong as well as to maintain normal blood pressure, allow muscles to contract, and transmit nerve signals from cell to cell. Some minerals help regulate water balance, others help regulate energy metabolism, and some affect growth and development through their role in the expression of certain genes. Many minerals act as cofactors needed for enzyme activity. None of the minerals we require acts in isolation. Instead, they interact with each other as well as with other nutrients and other components of the diet. Eating a variety of foods, including fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, whole grains and cereal, milk, seafood, and lean meats can maximize your diets mineral content. Function of water in the body Water doesn't provide energy, but it is essential to life. Water in the body serves as a medium for and participant in metabolic reactions, helps regulate acid–base balance, transports nutrients and wastes, provides protection, and helps regulate body temperature.

...proper body function. (Mandal, n.d.) Not eating enough food to maintain proper body function, or eating an imbalanced diet that does not provide the nutrients needed to maintain a balanced level of health, will cause a person to become malnourished. (Mandal, n.d.) In order to stay healthy, individuals need to consume foods from a number of different food groups including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, dairy and a minimum of five daily portions of fruits and vegetables which contain many of the essential vitamins and minerals. (McGuire & Beerman, 2009, p. 331) Anyone can become malnourished if they do not consume the necessary amount of nutrients to fulfill their nutritional needs, or if they have an unhealthy diet such as those, who for example, misuse alcohol. Many studies show that people who misuse alcohol can eventually become malnourished due to the fact that alcohol contains just enough calories to curb hunger, but it does not contain the necessary nutrients that are required to stay healthy. As a result, alcoholics often suffer from a number of serious health conditions including damage to internal organs such as the liver, heart and the brain. (Casa Palmera Staff, 2010) Someone may ask the question, “What is considered to be excessive drinking or alcohol abuse?” According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, at-risk drinking for men is more than 4 drinks a day or more than 14 drinks a week; at-risk drinking for women is more than 3 drinks a day...
