I come from the generation of TAB and learned all sodas and energy drinks (RedBull) are POISION!

Today I drink 1 cuppa tea each day and water! You BOYS ARE ADORABLE!!!

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Hi Sharon. So there is no real magic number but somehow it seems to have landed on 10,000. The bottom line is get as many as you can. Be as active as you can. Find something you like and that makes you happy. It’s that simple! Thanks for the positive feedback.

[@williampotter2098]

@@TalkingWithDocs I average about 2.5 feet a step. That's 25,000 feet or nearly 5 miles for 10,000 steps. At 4 miles an hour (the high average for people according to Google) that's around 1 1/2 hours a day walking. That's just not reasonable. I know several people who walk but none that walk that much. That's not even mentioning the time to change shoes or whatever else you do to get ready. I have read several times that the 10,000 step number came from some PR department in a company shilling a walking meter or some such thing. Let's just stop that number now. It's silly and just gives people a reason not to begin ... or believe anything you say. (OH, I do like you guys. Just work on this one!)

your blood pressure is up, because of the caffeine. Your heart rate is down because it has Citrulline Malate which is Nitric Oxide, a Vaso dilater. I was surprised to, because that's what's in my pre-workout for when I lift weights it allows a greater pump by allowing more blood flow and relaxing your veins to allow more oxygen and blood flow.

A very nice experiment you two! You can be serious and laugh at yourself at the same time! That makes you so relatable! I've never had energy drinks and I don't desire to either. I already have white coat hypertension, no matter how much I try to relax. Sometimes they take my blood pressure with several types of machines. After trying 5 different times, I ask them to try at the end of my appointment. I have coffee in the morning and iced tea the rest of the day. I'll have a soft drink occasionally because it goes with certain foods! 😉 But I've watched my nephews grow up drinking all kinds of energy drinks. I've never thought they were good for them, especially in the beginning when they were packed with sugar and way too much caffeine! It's good seeing you two conducting your own study and showing us the results!

This was pretty informative, definitely about to binge watch this channel after a swim today but before that, some thoughts. So, I didn't hear if you guys went over this or not but was you clean test done before or after Dr. Brad's morning coffee? Also, on average, how many coffees are you consuming per day? I just wonder because I personally use to have two or three cups per day or I'd have several energy drinks throughout the day. If I didn't have my coffee or energy drinks I'd get angry, fell nauseous, and overall wouldn't be able to function in my day to day but I also didn't really like how the caffeine was making me feel when I did have them anymore either. I was actually able to ween myself off caffeine using GFuel even though that wasn't my intention. I was told by a friend that it wasn't an immediate spike in energy but instead a small and long lasting boost to energy and focus. Be it placebo or not, that is what I experienced so I followed instructions and replaced my coffee/energy drinks with the Gfuel and eventually ended up drinking less and less until I wasn't drinking it regularly anymore. No more energy drinks, coffee, soda, or GFuel, it was a complete accident but I managed to stop all of them in the span of a few months. Now I will say, I also do not recommend anyone start taking GFuel, this is just my personal experience.

I admit I love Red Bull original unflavored. It really does give me a boost when I am working out. Having said that, I also admit I believe it is bad for my health in the long run. Therefore, I limit them to 3 of the small cans per week.

That sounds fair TheOtherMike.

I am in charge of my own health, until the government mandates that I take an experimental treatment so I can keep my job.

Hi Brian. The energy drinks are a choice for sure
