When we’re tired, we often reach for a cup of coffee or an energy drink like Red Bull,

which is famously marketed as a drink that “gives us wings.” However,

Red Bull has been linked to cardiovascular issues, such as stroke and heart attacks.

Drinking just one can of Red Bull can alter the consistency of your blood,

making it resemble that of someone with heart problems, according to a study

by Scott Willoughby from the Cardiovascular Research Center in Australia.

The primary ingredients in Red Bull—caffeine, sugar, and the artificial sweetener

aspartame—can have harmful effects, including neurotoxicity, metabolic disturbances,

allergic reactions, and potential carcinogenic risks. The manufacturer even

recommends limiting consumption to no more than two cans per day.

Mixing Red Bull with alcohol can amplify these dangers, putting extra strain on

your body and increasing the risk of serious health issues.

To boost your energy naturally, experts recommend:

Improving your diet

Increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake

Reducing sugar consumption

Managing stress

Getting sufficient, high-quality sleep

Exercising regularly
