The consumption of energy drinks in the development of the daily activities of the students of the Medicine career at the Eloy Alfaro University in Manabí.

Abstract

In recent years, the consumption of energy drinks has become a novelty, this thanks to numerous advertising campaigns, which have exhibited them as a product that has no side effects on the body. In the US, the results show that 31% of adolescents from 12 to 17 years of age and 34% of young adults consume energy drinks on a regular basis. Taking these results into account, there is a lack of information on the part of consumers of these energy drinks and the effects they may cause on the body. The research determines the effects produced by energy drinks on the body and designs an action plan on the consumption of these drinks.
