What if you could find a health drink that actually tastes good, fills the body with vital nutrients, gives you a mood boost, and costs about the same as one of those high caffeine energy drinks?  Would you be willing to try a health drink that doesn't contain sugar, artificial sweeteners, isolated chemicals, and caffeine, but is loaded with concentrated nutrients from fruits and herbs?  What if you knew that these concentrated health drinks were loading you up with living enzymes, natural antioxidants, and phytonutrients from nature to give you natural energy?  Does that make you rethink your consumption of carbonated caffeine and chemicals?

You probably don't drink sodas because they're a health drink.  You drink them because they taste good, they're bubbly and they boost your mood.  That is, until the sugar and caffeine rush comes crashing down on you.  High caffeine energy drinks and sugary vitamin waters are just as bad, if not worse, as your body tries to adjust to the disastrous combination of glucose and caffeine in dangerously high doses.  Why are so many people consuming these very unhealthy drinks?

• They taste good
• They provide a temporary mood boost
• They are available at convenience stores

There are many more good reasons to consume natural low carb health drinks instead of sodas, sugary vitamin waters or caffeine boosted energy drinks. 

• Sugar wreaks havoc on the body.  Here are 6 health challenges caused by sugar in energy drinks, vitamin waters and sodas.

1. Excess sugar contributes to obesity.
2. Sugar suppresses the immune system.
3. Too much sugar can upset the body's mineral balance.
4. An overload of sugar contributes to arthritis.
5. Over consumption of sugar speeds the aging process.
6. All that sugar in soft drinks, energy drinks, and in vitamin waters causes your pancreas to produce excess insulin, which leads to an energy crash.

• Your overall fitness level increases with natural health drinks.  All those soft drinks and high caffeine energy drinks are very acidic, which contributes to a pH imbalance.  The body needs 80% alkaline foods and drinks to only 20% acidic foods for proper pH balance.  An improper ratio of too many acidic foods and beverages causes the body to break down faster as it pulls calcium from bones in order to maintain the right pH balance.  Natural health drinks on the other hand are, more often than not, alkaline by nature.

• Vitamin waters, soft drinks and energy drinks actually deprive the body of some of the health benefits of drinking water.  All the phosphates, sugar, caffeine and artificial ingredients take more water to process than they replace.  When the body does not take in enough water and vital nutrients then you experience cellular dehydration, which in turn leads to rapid aging.

So, people who are drinking soft drinks, caffeinated energy drinks and sugary vitamin waters are actually walking around dehydrated, and aging faster.  On the other hand, people who are consuming natural health drinks that contain live nutrients from whole foods such as fruits and herbs are enjoying the many health benefits of drinking water, plus the numerous benefits of consuming phytonutrients in their water.  When you realize that it is a good idea to be more selective in your beverage choices then you have to ask yourself, "Where do I find these health drinks that taste good and offer so many benefits?"

Search the Internet for natural health drinks and you will find very affordable powder formulas that you simply mix with water.  These whole food health drink concentrates are made without sugar, artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, or isolated vitamins and minerals.  Instead, they are made with real fruit and herbs that are known for their electrolyte balancing and fat flushing properties.  Some of these natural low carb health drinks taste better than any of those artificial vitamin waters and you will find them in natural flavors of peach, lemon, raspberry, cinnamon and even green tea.  With these health drinks your body not only receives the benefits of drinking water, but also the many health benefits of live, whole food nutrients from real ingredients like peaches, raspberries, lemons and cinnamon.

As you come to understand the differences between live, whole food nutrients and artificially enhanced vitamin waters, sodas, or energy drinks boosted with caffeine, you make better choices.  Your body starts to find its own natural balance and digestion improves, you get fewer mood swings, less stiffness in your joints, more energy and an overall improvement in mood.  You feel better about yourself when you replace your overly processed, sugary, caffeine enhanced beverages with health drinks that are truly healthy.
