Sure it might be a pretty good boost, but is it worth the long-term health consequences?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>For the brief answer, while having a Monster Energy on occasion may be perfectly fine, having it every day<\/strong> <strong>will add a fairly high amount of sugar to your overall diet, so be sure to moderate your overall intake and don&rsquo;t go relying upon Monster for your daily caffeine fix.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Monster Energy and whether or not you should be having it every day, read on to find

Since it is a stimulant, caffeinated beverages alter the brain&rsquo;s cognitive function, which makes caffeine an effective psychoactive drug.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine works by blocking the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/caffeine4.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adenosine<\/a> receptors in your brain, which mainly prevents you from feeling sleepy, but also has other active benefits such as improving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5847000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reaction<\/a> times as well as overall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK209050\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cognitive<\/a> function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;re probably wondering why people aren&rsquo;t on this stuff more often, but that&rsquo;s because having too much caffeine in a short period is pretty detrimental for your overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FDA<\/a> generally approves a daily max caffeine limit of 400mg, having any more than that will lead to side effects such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Insomnia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jitters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anxiousness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rapid Heart Rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upset Stomach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dysphoria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So while a little bit of caffeine is benneficial, be sure not to have too much of it. Given that a standard Monster Energy has 160mg per serving, you have about a 2  can leeway before the caffeine starts to catch up to you, provide your tolerance is actualyl around 400mg and not lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, while 2 cans might be good on the caffeine scale, the sugar content might make you reconsider if you should be having one of these in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monster_Energy_Sugar_Content\"><\/span>Monster Energy Sugar Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Each 16 fl.oz can o<\/strong>f <strong>Monster Energy has 54g of sugar, which is a fairly high amount for an energy drink, and certainly isn&rsquo;t great from a health perspective.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sugar, in moderation, is actually not too harmful to your health, giving you a quick energy boost and can improve your mood by slightly increasing the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/thesalt\/2014\/01\/15\/262741403\/why-sugar-makes-us-feel-so-good\" target=\"_blank\">dopamine<\/a> levels in your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, excessive amounts of sugar in your diet, especially over a long period of time, can have pretty nasty effects on your health, ranging from tooth decay to all the symptoms of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/metabolic-syndrome\/#:~:text=Metabolic%20syndrome%20is%20the%20medical,that%20affect%20the%20blood%20vessels.\" target=\"_blank\">metabolic syndrome<\/a> (a combination of diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the AHA recommends that you have a max daily added sugar limit of no more than 9 teaspoons (36g or 150 calories) for men and no more than 6 teaspoons (25g or 100 calories) for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that a 16 fl.oz can of Monster is well over that limit (at 54g), having a can a day is already pushing it in terms of your overall sugar intake, let alone having more than one can of the stuff within the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, I would highly recommend only cracking open a can of Monster when you really need, as it&rsquo;s really not the sort of casual drink you should be having daily, especially if you&rsquo;re mindful of your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sucralose\"><\/span>Sucralose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An artificial sweetene<\/strong>r, <strong>sucralose is a zero-calorie sweetener that acts a sugar substitute and is widely used in zero to low-calorie energy drinks, but given Monster Energy is already chock full of sugar, it&rsquo;s addition is probably more for taste.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While sucralose not adding to your calorie-count is a definite boon in most cases, Monster Energy&rsquo;s high sugar content mostly renders this point moot, and is probably just present to add an additional layer of sweetness to the drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are some <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3198517\/\" target=\"_blank\">concerns<\/a> over the long-term use of artificial sweeteners, the FDA has approved them for general use, so it&rsquo;s best to still moderate your overall intake of it you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"B-Vitamins\"><\/span>B-Vitamins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vitamin_B_1250x-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"Vitamin B Tablets\" class=\"wp-image-6269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vitamin_B_1250x-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vitamin_B_1250x-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vitamin_B_1250x-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vitamin_B_1250x.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -

You can definitely enjoy one as a casual experience, but the best way to get the most out of an energy drink is to only have it when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, there are plenty of other energy drinks out there which are a lot more suitable for daily consumption than sugar, such as those with a lower sugar content (Mountain Dew Game Fuel) or sugar-free options (CELSIUS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they&rsquo;re definitely not going to win any healthy energy drink awards, it&rsquo;s certainly a lot better for you than consuming 54g of sugar (or, heaven-forbid, more) on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, there are certainly situations where Monster&rsquo;s caffeine and sugar content can get you through a tough spot, such as a late-night cram session, or finalising a hard presentation for the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any other case though, I would recommend sticking to something a lot less sugary for your daily caffeine fix, as although Monster can give you a boost, you really don&rsquo;t need it all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_OK_to_drink_2_Monsters_a_day\"><\/span><strong>Is it OK to drink 2 Monsters a day? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monster Energy drinks contain a lot of sugar and caffeine, which can be bad for your health.
