why shouldn't kids drink energy drinks?
user
It’s possible that these drinks can give you a burst of energy but they can also give you a jittery nervous feeling in the following days or even make you go into a chronic state of restless anxiety.

So will that interfere with growth?
user
A big part of kids growth is food that has a steady blood supply to their brain and this is the part of their brain that they need to grow. You don’t want to give them blood to their brain in the moment then take it away. What you want is to give them a consistent blood flow in that part of the brain for a long period of time. This will lead to faster growth and in general a better outlook on life.

Any other advice?

Your brain is like a muscle. So you have to give it food to build. Other than the drinks you mentioned there are foods that are good brain food that are not a sugar rush. Go easy on the sugar and salty foods that don't have any vitamins, minerals, or fiber. These types of foods are usually the ones that we're craving but we can get them from other healthy sources.

Yes, they say to limit the intake of high carb foods, so no bread, rice, or pasta, and no fruit juices.
