Andrenaline keeps me in the game

"Adrenaline keeps me in the game, adrenaline you don't even feel the pain," was a song the came out in Vin Diesel's  XXX.

Adrenaline is freaking awesome. I would always experience an adrenaline rush during my friday night football games. My adrenaline level was so high that if I were to get knocked down by a hard hit, I would get right back up. Even a cut in my skin would not be felt, until I looked at it the next day. In a sense, the lyrics from the song above is viable to an extent.

Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone that increase heart rate, and induces the fight-or-flight response in the sympathetic nervous system we all learned in A&P I.

Adrenaline is commonly used in the medical field to help treat patients who have gone under cardiac arrest. So yes, even though our body produces it, it is available in liquid form.

However, adrenaline is not a drug to be played around with. Just because they used it on the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street doesn't mean that it is safe. It raises your heart rate like crazy and can make you do things you wouldn't normally do. Especially things that are unsafe. You can even die from having to much adrenaline. I mean if your heart is racing faster than a mofo, then it is bound to crash.

I don't get the "bad effects" of energy drinks

Ever since the famous Red Bull drink came out, many have tried the drink that "gives you wings." In my opinion it really DOES!!! You can be in a crappy mood, and as soon as your lips touch the can, and you take a big gulp of that miracle juice, you are wide awake and pumped. You feel like you can take on the world.
However many do believe that this drink is dangerous for your body. The main culprits are the caffiene and taurine present in the mixture. As it is, our body makes its own taurine and caffiene, and an excess being brought in could be harmful to our immune system and cause other health problems. In addition, children and pregnant women are strongly discouraged from drinking Red Bull due to the high amounts of caffeine present causing increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, and anxiety. It is also not recommended to mix with any alcohol.

Red Bull Really Does Give You Wings to heaven.....DEAD!!!

In the end, the energy drink is not necessarily dangerous for you to drink, yet it not beneficial either. Precaution is advised when you decide to drink a Red Bull. Remember the Golden Rule: DO NOT DRINK MORE THAN TWO A DAY!!!!
