Youths in Gombe chugging energy drinks to grind longer hours, boost bedroom vibes, or mix with booze for a “max kick”? Top cardiologist Dr. Abubakar Sani at Federal Teaching Hospital just called time Friday, labeling the trend a ticking cardiac disaster waiting to explode!
In a NAN interview, Sani spotlighted the surge among young folks, packed with caffeine, sugar, and stimulants that scramble heart rhythms, stiffen arteries, spike hypertension/diabetes risks, and even trigger strokes or sudden death—especially risky for those with hidden heart issues or late nights, junk food, no exercise.
Ditching myths of brain boosts, he warned of anxiety, depression, sleep woes, and multi-organ hits (nervous system, liver, kidneys); swap for balanced diets, low salt, no booze/sugary traps, and workouts to guard your ticker—complications creep slow but hit hard!
