Health Drinks

It may not always be easy to determine what items are really good for you by looking at nutrition fact labels, but online health food stores often have far more details available to consumers about products such as health drinks. This can help clear up some of the confusion for online health food store shoppers who want the highest quality nutrition. In typical retail supermarkets, items such as natural foods and health drinks may have only one natural ingredient, but still be labeled as “natural”.

Online health food stores are usually very thorough in describing the true nature of their products. They assure customers that things like preservatives, isolated vitamins, artificial dyes or sweeteners are not included in their health drinks. The owners of these smaller operations may even know their suppliers personally and visit the manufacturing facilities. This can give them additional certainty that the products are processed at low temperatures to maintain whole food structures of the truly natural ingredients. Unfortunately, some of the so-called health drinks and foods at typical stores are devoid of nutrients because of the packaging processes, but consumers are never made aware of this fact.

Here are examples of a few items you may find at an online health food store that appear the same as typical store bought items on the surface, but are vastly different in the way they are processed:

· Vitamins - At an online health food store it is more likely these are whole food vitamins, not isolated, which provides the body with more effective absorption of nutrients.

· Natural low carb foods – These are not fake-food substitutes, but real, all natural food formulas prepared with your total health in mind.

· Health drinks and herbal teas - These are not enhanced vitamin waters or colored sport drinks, but herbal beverages with whole food ingredients.

Often, these online health food store products provide more effective results with fewer empty calories and less wasted money.

Many of the natural foods and health drinks from an online health food store can contain ingredients from plants grown on small farms, without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This is vastly different from mass-produced products made with so-called “natural” ingredients that have been manufactured on giant factory farms with artificial fertilizers and dangerous pesticides. You would be surprised to know how many non-organic foods, and even some labeled as “natural”, have been grown that way. The USDA defines organic products as those produced by farmers practicing soil and water conservation. In addition, organic farmers must make use of renewable resources to protect the environment. This is the type of detailed information you are likely to find in health drinks at a reliable online health food store.

Some individuals avoid healthy lifestyles because they believe the cost is too great or that alternative choices will rob them of modern day conveniences. However, it's important to realize now that modern technological advances can bring those conveniences to anyone with access to the Internet. Google or other search engines now provide an easy way to locate an “online health food store with all natural health drinks”.

Don’t be stuck under the false assumption that you can’t afford natural foods or health drinks without major sacrifices. It’s easier than ever to order health drinks from an online health food store and uncover more detailed information on what you are buying than you could ever find in a typical retail store.

  2. QUESTION:
    Health drinks?
    Theres lots of them vitamin water,syzmo,v8 etc.

    WHATS THE BEST health drink out there?

    it has to have vitamins,minerals,antioxidants,energy.

    one drink to rule them all?

    • ANSWER:
      Commercial ones are all about money, and are about 98% or more water. That leaves them out.

      Pomegranate is the antioxidant king.
      For heat, you need potassium: Go OJ
      Tomato has lots of good stuff.

      To cut sugar down, need to dilute with water.

      I'd go one ounce each of those three, add water to 16 ounces.

      Other mixes woud be good, too.

  3. QUESTION:
    Are the makers of the drink "Fuze" and a lot of other health drinks trying to trick you?
    Crystalline fructose is even worse than High fructose Syrup and Crystalline also contains arsenic. A lot of health drinks and bottled water contains this poisonousness stuff. Will you still drink it now?

    • ANSWER:
      I never drank it anyway, so it's a moot point.
      I'm not so sure that all the sugar is good for you, no. But it makes stuff taste good. . . and no one's going to drink it if it tastes bad. They're probably just trying to cover up a weird flavor.
      Incidentally, arsenic is only toxic at "high" (it's all relative) levels. Most living things will die if they have absolutely no arsenic in their system. So long as there's not much in there, I doubt you could say that you are actually poisoning yourself.

    I want my stock to be from a legitimate source and I want to run it every weekend, and it has to look professional and pleasing to the eye.

    Any advice on how I can go about making this happen?

      Hello,

      I am actually a small business owner in America that does a similar thing. First off you need to know the style of the community what kind of taste they have. If they seem to be modern go with a modern look. Of course you'll need to do some research. Make it look appealing with neat colors.

    My friend loves the little 5-hour energy drinks. She drinks 2 every day. How bad is this for her health, what long term affects could it have?

    • ANSWER:
      An energy drink is a drink and it has benefits. I will educate you about how each chemical isn’t as “poisonous” it is painted up to be, but a fancy name for some things that are good for you.
      Monster Ingredients
      Carbonated Water- what it says it is, water with a little carbon dioxide gas in it to make it bubble
      Sucrose- complex sugar, table sugar, you eat it all the time in many foods
      Glucose- simple sugar, just not as complex as sucrose (it is a carbohydrate something you need to live)
      Citric Acid- organic acid used in the metabolism of all living things
      Natural Flavors- chemicals taken from plants to make you to have the impression of a certain flavor, used in almost all foods you eat
      Taurine- absorbed through the blood barrier isn’t harmful in fact supplementation helps protect body from lead poisoning, prevents epileptic seizures, prevents obesity, helps prevent coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis
      Sodium Citrate- an acidic salt that helps your blood platelets from sticking together, preventing strokes
      Color Added- used in almost every food product sold, helps people associate colors to certain foods.
      Panax Ginseng Root Extract- Is a muscle relaxant not tenser, helps treat type 2 diabetes, sexual dysfunction in men, helps increase resistance to stress on the body, anti inflammatory effects on humans,
      L-Carnitine- required for the transport of lipids (fat cells) to the mitochondria for metabolic energy
      Caffeine- comes from the leaves of plants even in chocolate, restores alertness for a limited time, helps treat apnea and correct irregular heartbeats, reduces the risk of liver injury for liver disease patients, consumed since the Stone Age
      Ascorbic Acid- sugar acid with antioxidant properties, known more commonly as vitamin C, deficiency results in scurvy
      Sorbic Acid- organic compound, prevents from mold, yeast, and fungi growing in foods so you don’t have to immediately consume everything you buy
      Benzoic Acid- also helps prevent mold, yeast, and bacteria growth; apples even contain it, treats fungal skin diseases such as ringworm and athlete’s foot, also used as a decongestant
      Niacinamide- known more commonly as vitamin B3, although serving the same function it doesn’t have the same toxic effects as niacin due to your metabolic conversion, it has anti-inflammatory effects, it has been proven to restore cognition in Alzheimer's disease patients, and it prevents immunosuppression due to UVA and UVB radiation
      Sodium Chloride-more commonly known as table salt, needed by your body to absorb water for life processes
      Glucuronolactone- broken down form of glucose, important component for the structure of almost all connective tissues in living organisms
      Inositol- a different form of the carbohydrate molecule, necessary in insulin signal transduction, nerve guidance, intracellular calcium concentration control, cell membrane potential maintenance, serotonin activity modulation, breakdown of fats, reducing blood cholesterol, and gene expression
      Guarana Seed Extract- contains caffeine just like coffee beans, has the same benefits as caffeine
      Pyridoxine Hydrochloride- more commonly known as vitamin B6, is required in the production of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, helps in the balancing of sodium and potassium, red blood cell production, maintains cardiovascular health, lack of this chemical is linked to the cause of anemia, nerve damage, seizures, skin problems, and sores in the mouth
      Sucralose- zero-calorie artificial sweetener so those who don’t like sucrose or glucose can still have sweet without the extra calories to make them fat
      Riboflavin- more commonly known as vitamin B2, needed for maintenance in human and animal health, it has a key role in energy metabolism and metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins, since the human body is constantly excreting it this means many humans can easily become deficient of this needed vitamin, deficiency leads to stunts of cell growth which includes the fatty degeneration of the liver and kidney
      Maltodextrin- polysaccharide that is absorbed as glucose and is just as harmless as glucose
      Cyanocobalamin-more commonly known as vitamin B12, it is used widely for people deficient due to gastric problems resulting in problems absorbing enough from normal meals throughout the normal day
      As you can see all these chemicals are things you need. They are chemically stable and have no solid proven dangerous chemical reactions have ever been observed between each other or any other chemicals you absorb throughout the day.In moderation as everything should be used this is another drink you can enjoy every once in a while.
      Other energy drink’s contents vary especially 5 hour energy, but with every chemical there can be adverse effect if you consume too much.
      Long term effects vary from person to person because no one person metabolizes a chemical like another person.

  11. QUESTION:
    How do energy drinks affect your health?
    Well, lately i've been drinking lots of energy drinks. It's hard for me not to have one, the temptation is too high to refuse. Just this afternoon I've had 5. My friends say i'm addicted to them and one or two are concerned for my health. I just wanted to know, how do these affect my health? What are the side affects if this behaviour continues?

    • ANSWER:
      energy drinks can lead to nausea, abnormal heart rates and emergency room visits. Energy drinks can make you take risks (apparently) and mixing it with alcohol can make you feel less drunk, when in fact you are still drunk. People that mix alcohol and energy drinks get drunk twice as often as people who don't.
      Anyway, scientist have said that energy drinks can affect a growing brain and cause a decline in the immune system, although health authorities have said that they're safe.
      It may change your behaviour or mood.

  16. QUESTION:
    How does fizzy drinks affect our health ?
    I really love soda and fizzy drinks a lot , but i want to know if its good or bad for health and to what extent ??

    • ANSWER:
      The biggest problem with cola and soft drinks, is that they are very high in sugar which elevates your blood sugar levels and therefore drops you down once your insulin is injected into the body. I think the worse thing about colas and soft drinks is, they are very acidic and they leave the body in a very acidic condition. If you want your body to repair quickly, your muscles to work properly, if you want them to grow and maintain, you have to be in an alkaline situation. That means alkaline opposite acid. If you’re acid, you basically decay inside. If you’re alkaline, you become clean and perfect inside and the muscles need to function in an alkaline condition. Cola robs you of energy. Low blood sugar means light headiness, lack of performance, tiredness and no energy whatsoever.

  18. QUESTION:
    What are some negative health effects of Red Bull or other energy drinks?
    What are some negative health effects of binge drinking Red Bull while a physical activity. Suppose a person goes snowboarding for a weekend and drinks about 5 a day. What are some short term and long term side effects of the drink. Are there any health effects concerning fertility in a man.?

    • ANSWER:
      A common concern regarding the beverage is its supposedly high caffeine level. Proponents of the beverage counter critics by stating that a serving has roughly the same amount of caffeine as that found in a cup of coffee.

      In 2007, a study conducted by American researchers concluded that Red Bull, along with other popular energy drinks, could boost both blood pressure and heart rates, prompting them to warn those with heart disease to avoid the drinks due to the possibility it could reduce the effectiveness of their medications. The increases, however, did not cause dangerous levels in healthy people. The various measures of heart rate all rose between 5-10 percent during the 1 week trial. Key similarities between Red Bull and the other energy drinks named make the study relevant to the ongoing discussion of Red Bull.

  21. QUESTION:
    Are there health risks regarding soft drinks?
    Lately ive been drinking lots of soft drinks, about 1 per day and mostly coke or dr pepper. Is there any health risk?

    • ANSWER:
      Absolutely. Take a look at the nutritional facts printed on the back of your Coke or Dr. Pepper. You'll notice that the contents are mostly sugar, chemicals and water. For a 12 oz. can of Coke, you will consume 39 grams of sugar and absolutely nothing with nutritional value. For most people (athletes and extremely active people excluded), sugar is stored as fat. If your body does not find a way to use the 39 grams of sugar every day, it will be stored as fat, little by little contributing to possible heart disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, etc.
      One soda a day won't make you obese, but combined with other unhealthy foods and a lack of exercise will most certainly make a contribution over time.
      Additionally, the caustic ingredients in soda contribute to tooth decay. Most sodas are also caffeinated, which makes them slightly addictive. That is why so many people become so attached to drinking them, and find them so hard to give up even when the health risks have necessitated that they avoid sugar.
      I would suggest that avoid drinking anything that requires a factory and a whole lot of weird, multi-syllable ingredients.

  25. QUESTION:
    Have you had any experience with the health drinks Xango or Vibe?
    I am looking for healthy good tasting alternatives to sodas. I already drink many types of juice. The information says that these drinks are are high in antioxidants. I am also considering Aloe Vera juice.

    • ANSWER:
      yes, Xango contains mangosteen which is high in vitamin C (naturally occurring) but its not a casual drink you take like 1-3 oz shot at at time. it has bowel regulating action..... search for Pure Camu (the most natural c, b, minerals amino's and antioxidants), Kombucha (tastes like vinegar though) if you haven't already go to the health food store there is all sorts of stuff available. Aloe juice also has an effect on your bowels...so unless that's what your looking for, watch out. I can tell you where to get camu because you probably wont find a good product on a shelf. of course there is always sobe but they're still allot of sugar and other stuff, but they taste alright.

  26. QUESTION:
    Are energy drinks a potential hazard for my health?
    I have to admit, i am addicted to energy drinks. I probably drink about two Monsters or Rockstars, and even maybe a coffee drink thrown into the mix on a daily basis. Is this a long-term health risk? Am i asking for trouble in the future if i keep it up? How much caffeine am I consuming and is it dangerous?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes. The ephedra is the number one no no. All those things that give you that fun little kick make your heart race... which can lead to heart problems in the future. Plus, look at the baseball players who dropped dead of a heart attack from drinking energy drinks, then playing sports. Poof! Dead.

      The 5 Hour Energy drink will give you similar results, but it's not as dangerous as those Rockstars. I mean, every once in a while is fine, but don't do it on a daily basis. You don't wanna drop dead, do you?

      Then again, I drink one to two cups of coffee every single day. I've been doing that for 20 years and I haven't dropped dead yet.... Just be careful and pay attention to what your body tells you. Getting the "jitters" is a bad sign. So, if those energy drinks make you jittery, then you definitely need to cut WAY back.

  27. QUESTION:
    Which is worse for your health coffee or monster energy drinks?
    I just started drinking the Lo-Carb Monster Energy Drink and I'm wondering if it's worse for you than coffee. If you had to drink one each day, what would you choose health wise?

  28. QUESTION:
    What impact do food and drinks have on dental health?
    Also what food and drink is best for dental health and worst?

    • ANSWER:
      Almost all foods contain some form of sugar which causes tooth decay.

      All food though if left in the mouth will support the growth of germs and other mouth diseases like gingivitis and gum disease. Plaque build-up will result which pushes the gums away from the teeth giving germs even more space to hide.

      Left alone these can lead to bone disease and bone loss.

      Same applies to most drinks except water.

      Milk is good.

      Regular dentist visits will help.

      Brushing three times a day and before bed is a must for good hygiene.

  29. QUESTION:

  30. QUESTION:
    Are there health benifits to drinking energy drinks?

I have read some medical studies which suggest taurine and b-complex vitamins are quite beneficial. Additionally I was surprised that many of the larger energy drinks have less sugar and calories then a regular soft drink. I prefer the energy drinks such as Monster which is 50% juices.

    • ANSWER:
      They are only good if you are doing extreme work outs all the time. There is little benefits and more harmful for the average person to be drinking all the time. Many energy drinks are high in sodium and can cause a ton of health issues later in life.

    I drink about 3 rockstars a day, and 2 cups of coffee in the mornings and I still get tired... whats wrong with me? Am I going to have heart failure or something uncool because of this excess caffeine? Also I'm 16, female about 140 pounds.

    • ANSWER:
      I highly recommend that you STOP drinking that much caffeine.

      At most you should be having 300mg a day.

      Rockstars have about 150mg of caffeine each.
      An average cup of coffee has about 100mg of caffeine.

      Although there have been studys that show that a little caffeine is good for you, do not drink alot, because this is destroying your body.

  35. QUESTION:
    How bad are soft drinks for your health?
    Its been exactly two years since I haven't had a single soft drink!(coke, pepsi, mountain dew, etc...)!! I've replaced them mostly with water.

    Though I have had one caffeinated drink as a replacement - Energy drinks.

    • ANSWER:
      Are you asking how are soft drinks bad? Well one reason is the carbohydrates in them, including the amount of sugar they put in a can/liter of pop. For example, coca-cola has 40-50 grams of sugar. Once in a while it isn't bad to drink soft drinks, but not every day.
      Energy drinks are not good for you either. Hope I helped.

    • ANSWER:
      It keeps your body in a constant fight or flight mode. You are totally destroying your adrenal glands and your nervous system is probably not happy. You probably can feel your heart trying to come out of your chest. I had a friend OD on energy drinks. There is a substance in them that depletes the potassium from your muscles causing you to have severe and debilitating cramps. He had a fun little outing to ther ER.....

  39. QUESTION:
    Is monster energy drinks bad for ur health if you drink them all the time?
    Every morning I drink an energy drink. Sometimes if I miss a day or two. I will get bad headaches. Then, I will also get some chest pain. But, that could be from something else. What do u think?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes! Stop drinking them so often! Sheesh. Listen. I used to drink soda every single day. I didn't skip a beat unless we ran out and I had to wait a day or two. It was awful. I kept breaking out, ran out of energy quicker. But the worst part of it was after almost a full year, I developed heart problems. Heart Palpitations and an Irregular heartbeat, in fact, which signaled a weak heart.

      Because. Of Soda.

      I quit the soda drinking habit, and I'm pretty darn healthy, now.

      Now, Energy Drinks are different from soda. They're much more -dangerous-. They have so many more ingredients packed in there, the symptoms can be much more severe. If you keep drinking them like you are the following will happen. WILL. Not maybe, will. For sure. Don't know when, but they will.

      1- Heart Problems. Lord only knows what those drinks are doing to your intestinal system, it's only a matter of time before all of that adrenaline affects your heart and brain.

      2- Kidney Stones. Know what those are? They're painful, that's what they are. Several cases have been documented about people who drink energy drinks developing kidney stones.

      3- I can't say for certain, but I'd say those headaches and chest pains are related to your obsessive drinking of energy drinks.

      It's okay to have one -once in a while-. Energy Drinks aren't made to be a daily thing, hon. They're made to be a once-in-a-while pick-me-up. A couple, meaning two, a week is a healthy amount, I'd say, but not one every day or every other day.

  40. QUESTION:
    Are energy drinks dangerous to people`s health?
    I`m a college student who`s gona have midterm exams next week. I`m planning to take energy drinks starting on Saturday to Thursday, since I get sleepy while reviewing, but only one bottle per day and I`m only gona take it before reviewing. Coffee doesn`t take effect on me anymore. So I wana know if energy drinks are deadly? Or can they really harm people`s health severely?

    • ANSWER:
      If they were, they wouldn't be on the market in such huge numbers. Yes, they are not healthy, but not that severe. It just has a lot of sugar and caffeine, that's all.

  41. QUESTION:
    Are vitamin & mineral supplements and liquid health drinks of genuine benefit to the consumer?

    • ANSWER:
      They are good supplements to a healthy diet but they can never replace a healthy diet. It is very hard to get all the nutrients you need even from a very healthy diet.

      A multivitamin every day is a useful supplement to take every day.

      Extra Vitamin C every day will boost your immune system.

  42. QUESTION:
    Is 4 cans of energy drinks a day, good for your health?
    my friend drinks 4 cans of energy drinks a day. What i want to know is how this can effect them health-wise short and long term. thanks

    • ANSWER:
      No. The sugar and caffeine in those drinks will mess with your body. It's insufficient energy that has short term affects. People who drink energy drinks have been known to have problems sleeping, indigestion, upset digestive systems, head aches, fatigue, and it also lowers your immune system.

      This can result in sickness, disease, forms of cancer, heart problems, and diabetes.

      Energy drinks are just a quick fix for the rest that your body needs and deserves. Magnesium is a good energy suppliment. It helps with so many things for your body and it also won't give you that "crash" after the affects of the drink are gone.

      The energy drinks won't kill you, themselves. But the insomnia and the lowering of your immune system can make you more likely to become ill.

      If it's not natural, then it's not good for you. Tell your friend to take vitamins and magnesium for energy and to sleep regularly.

    • ANSWER:
      I am currently taking the very best health drink that I have ever taken. It is called Kyani Sunrise. You only have to take one oz in the morning and it will give you so much energy. It is an unbelievable blend of the Alaska Wild Blueberry and other exotic berries. Perfectly blended to target today's most pressing health concerns.Brunswick Laboratories, a nationally-respected testing facility, compared the antioxidant content of Kyäni Sunrise against two other leading nutritional supplement drinks. The result? Kyäni Sunrise's ORAC rating is twice as high as the next nearest competitor! If you will send me your name and address, I will send you a small bottle of the juice to try for yourself. I have total confidence that after you have tried it for a few days and feel the results (and you will feel the results) that you will see for yourself that Kyani Sunrise is the best. I hope this helps. If you would like to check out the juice before deciding if you would like a sample you can go to www.kjenks2.mykyanilife.com, click on products and watch the short movie. I am very serious when I say this juice is wonderful and will give you energy/

  46. QUESTION:
    I have a question reagarding beer and health...I know someone who drinks beer almost every day and he says?
    he is not drunk or is not alchololic..and that beer is good for his health. Can that be true? I have heard some wine can be good for health, but beer, I have never heard that...
    My main question is : how bad is beer for the health?

    • ANSWER:
      Beer or Wine?

      The discovery--or re-discovery-- that alcohol consumption might be good for you emerged in the early 1990s in a phenomenon known as the "French paradox:" the observation that, although the French diet is higher in fat than ours, rates of coronary disease are lower than in the United States.

      Research initially suggested that the red wine that adds so much pleasure to a French meal also helps protect French hearts. Chemical compounds called flavinoids, found in large amounts in the seeds and skins of red grapes, appeared to have positive effects on cholesterol levels (both raising the levels of "good" and decreasing the levels of "bad" cholesterol) and reducing blood platelet aggregation.

      Red wine staked out its territory as the "healthy" alcoholic beverage.

      Dutch researchers in 2000 offered evidence to counter the widely held belief that red wine was better for the heart than beer. The Dutch study, led by Dr. Henk Hendriks of the TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute, studied 11 healthy men who drank four glasses of either beer, red wine, spirits or water with dinner for three months. They switched beverages every three weeks. Despite the small number of subjects in the study, the results were striking.

      The men showed a 30 percent increase in vitamin B6 in their blood plasma after three weeks on beer. Drinkers of red wine and Dutch gin received only one-half the increase in the vitamin. B6 prevents the body from building up high levels of homocysteine, a chemical linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Homocysteine levels did not increase in the beer drinkers, but rose for those who drank wine or spirits

      A somewhat similar study in Denmark also addressed the "red wine v. beer is better for your heart" debate. The Danish Brewers Association reported that beer works as well as wine in preventing heart disease. "It cannot be proved that there is any health advantage to drinking red wine, for example, rather than beer," according to the study by the Institute of Epidemiology and Social Medicine at the University of Muenster. "Studies indicate that light to moderate alcohol consumption from beer, wine or spirits is associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality, owing primarily to a decreased risk of coronary heart disease."

  50. QUESTION:
    Are energy drinks good for your health or not?
    I drink 1 coffee everyday but when I run late to school or work I drink energy drinks...anyone know about any energy drinks inparticular. I drink Tabb and Diet Rockstar.

    • ANSWER:
      I've heard & read they're not as well. Plus, I notice that some have a LOT of sodium, & too much sodium isn't good. I really don't understand why they're looked at as good tasty "alternative" sports drinks when the safest drink anyone should really drink after exerting a lot of energy is water. And, at the same time you can't drink TOO too much water (although you'd have to drink an obscene amount with no food for it to affect you). As usual, moderation... a couple a week can't hurt nearly as much as a couple a day.
