Selecting a healthy beverage may be the most important decision you can make today. Do you drink coffee or green tea, soft drinks or vitamin waters, juice drinks, energy drinks, sport drinks, plain water or alkaline water? These choices can make a big difference in how your body functions. Unfortunately, it is easy to sabotage your health and fitness goals by making the wrong choices.
►When Buying Health Drinks, Why Alkaline Drinks are Best
If you’re thinking that water is the best health drink, you’re close, but there are better options to make your water intake far more productive. We're talking about drinks with active plant enzymes that help the water penetrate your cells, muscles, tissues and organs more efficiently.
When the cells of your body can more readily soak up the fresh water you consume, waste water and toxins are more successfully eliminated. This is how to effectively cleanse and hydrate internal cells, organs and tissues for optimal health and fitness. This is also why many people lose weight quickly when they begin using the right drinks. The first 20-30 pounds of weight loss is usually water weight that the body is holding onto as it fights for proper hydration.
►Hydration is key to health and fitness. Healthy water in, fats and toxins out. Read more about this concept in our
Philosophy of Regeneration.
The problem is that plain water is often eliminated without all the nutrients being absorbed into the cells. So, it just goes in and out, without saturating. This does not provide all that is possible in the way of hydration nor does it do the job of flushing out fats and waste.
Every diet expert says to drink at least half your weight in ounces of 
water each day. Unfortunately, most of that water is eliminated before it can flush the fats and waste. That’s why we recommend herbal beverages that work with the body’s natural cleansing processes to flush out fats and toxins quickly while penetrating the walls of the cells to deliver superb hydration.
Here are some bullet points to help you remember what you want and don’t want in your drink selections.
Things you don’t want in your drink selections:
- Sugar
- Artificial sweeteners
- Excess calories
- Chemicals (preservatives, additives, or artificial flavorings)
- Caffeine
- Guarana, Taurine or “medicinal” herbs
- Isolated vitamins (Synthetic re-creations of nature’s vitamins do not provide the same benefits as whole food nutrients. In fact, isolated vitamins and minerals are often flushed away in urine before they do much good).
In addition to checking ingredients and nutrition facts, it is also a good idea to explore how your drinks are manufactured. Do you know how the ingredients are grown, processed and packaged? Is there whole food structure to any of the ingredients and is that protected in manufacturing? Most of the time, the answers to these questions will be, “No”. The good news is that we have found a few of the best health drinks that are made with this kind of attention to detail.
Here are some things we like about these health drinks:
- No added sugar

People feel the difference with these healthy drinks:
"Hi Jane, I really appreciate how much these products have improved my energy. I take the Calli Tea first thing in the morning before my workout, and during my workout I begin sipping on the Fortune Delight. Being a Fitness Trainer, these products work very well for me. They give me the stamina to teach three 45 minute classes back to back. I recently started noticing how smooth the skin feels and looks after trying other products from Sunrider. I can honestly say whenever I'm short on cash, I do not compromise on my Calli Tea and Fortune Delight. I know from personal experience these products nourish the body and contribute to having healthy energy . They're GREAT!" -Health and Fitness Trainer Lisa Campbell/ Villa Rica GA. (ATL)
"I initially ordered Fortune Delight in hopes of having a little more energy, and it has helped me in other ways. This is such a great product I would recommend it to anyone."

"I love the Fortune Delight. I have been using it for years. It is nutritious and delicious. It really helps me get rid of water retention, as I used to have a problem with that. I drink it every day and it tastes great. MY kids love it too!!!!!" -Julie/Lakewood WA
“I started drinking Calli tea about 4 months ago after my vocal instructor recommended it to me. It is great for warming up and soothing the vocal cords. Before Calli, I used to drink inordinate amounts of diet soda. I knew the caffeine and artificial sweetener were bad for my health, but I was addicted. Now I drink at least 32 ounces of Calli tea a day with Sunnydew Liquid Stevia. I haven't craved soda even once since I started drinking Calli; and, I have never felt better!" -M. Merkley/Westchester, PA
