According to recent studies diet soda is NOT linked to a higher risk of stroke. There is no need to panic. Recommendation still yet is beverages naturally low in calories are always healthier than artificially sweetened drinks. Many studies already show us drinking sugary beverages on a regular basis can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Recommendations are still yet "drink less diet soda and artificially sweetened drinks."
Even though diet soda and other beverages sweetened with artificial sweeteners may NOT increase your risk for a stroke, there still are many reasons to avoid them. Some experts believe that people who use these high-intensity sweeteners may eventually start finding naturally sweet foods such as fruit less appealing and less-sweet foods such as vegetables downright distasteful. If this occurs, these people might miss out on the many heart-protecting nutrients found in fresh, natural foods.
Very few doctors recommend drinking diet soda. Most doctors agree people need to eliminate regular soda and other sugar-sweetened drinks and if someone says they have to drink a Coke to wake up in the morning, the alternative would be "drink coffee" instead. I find that Matcha Green Tea provides an even more alertness and stimulation than coffee, although I love the smell of fresh brewed coffee first thing when I get up, I will later on drink a cup of Matcha Green Tea for "mental stimulation and alertness." Matcha Green Tea is also full of antioxidants.

Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.
We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.
Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants drink mix is a delicious way to supplement your diet.
This unique mix is made with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health.
Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.
Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy.
