Sipping on an energy drink might seem like the perfect pick-me-up, but with concerns over their health impacts, experts are urging caution. From rising diabetes rates in the U.S. to emergency room visits due to energy drink consumption, the risks are real.

For me, searching for swimsuits has never been an easy task. Candidly, even when I was younger and thinner, I was still self-conscious whenever my body was on display.
