Zeal energy Mix Your Perfect Boost

 Everyone needs a boost and it usually comes in the form of an energy drink. Most are just bad for you.Even worse they have this cloying taste and aftertaste. This isn't the case with Zeal, an energy mix that comes in yummy flavors.

 I recently discoivered their Wild Berry and Mango flavors. They're caffeinated and give you a gentle jolt.

It's an easy mix . Just add a packet  or a couple of teaspoons to sixteen ounces of water and you have a tasty drink. Zeal isn't like other drinks. It's loaded with fifty-five (!) food nutrients and one hundred and twenty vitamins ,minerals and antioxidants. It's going to be great supplement during cold and flu season.It's a subtle hint of caffeine helps in productivity and reducing stress.

I love the mango and wild berry flavors. They have a really lovely t aste- not overpowering and super swwet. I want to get their grape flavor next and then their tropical fruit one. Zeal is just a great drink  on a hot day ,esepcially when I feel lagging  due to the heat,

This summer discover Zeal.It's the perfect refresher on a swealtering day. It'll give you a much needed boost to get through high temps and humidity. 

Bai Drinks A Burst Of Flavor And Health

For soda drinkers like myself it is hard to wean off the sweet stuff. Pepsis addictive, don't even get me started on the allure of Dr. Pepper. Yet they are not healthy, being one of the causes of obesity in the US. Luckily for everyone, including myself, there is Bai, an antioxidant  beverage  that in both juice and carbonated form.

One of the best things about this company is that it is creating jobs and revenue for the people of  Indonesia. The people there  help in creating the drink ,made with th e antioxidant rich coffeefruit, the fruit surrounding the coffee bean(don't worry there's no caffeine in them).It was first made in Princeton New Jersey by the company founder. Ben Weiss.Mr Weiss had a twenty year history in the beverage industry so it was natural to create his own drink, an antioxidant infusion that anyone , from kids to grandparents would enjoy.,  The drink's name BAI is Chinese  for pure which it is(Bai also is an acronym for botanical antioxidant infusions }. Sweetening comes from erythritol, a natural plant based low calorie sweetener derived from plant lichens . It has been around for over 160 years first made by British chemist John Stenhouse. There is also the addition of white tea to give it a slightly caffeinated kick.The drinks are only five calories each and the Bai Bubbles are sold in generous 12 ounce cans.

I love the Bai Bubbles. I first tried their Gimbi Pink Grapefruit and was instantly hooked. The astringent taste is intoxicating, reminiscent of Pellegrino 's Grapefruit sparkling water.There is definitely grapefruit juice in it and it's far from being sour .Their Peru Pineapple is another tasty thirst quencher, incredibly refreshing  and tropical - perfect to drink on this cold winter days  inspiring dreams about warm sunny islands .I also like Bai's Indonesia Nashi pear flavor too. There are very few pear drinks out there and this on is unique. It is like the fruit but carbonated. It even has that earthy aftertaste pears are known for. I will definitely be bringing the Bai BUbblers with me to the beach this summer. My next try is the Bai5. The Brasilia Blueberry ,Tanzania Lemonade Tea and Limu Lemon are on my radar.These drinks are the perfect transitions to drinking healthy , especially if you're addicted to sugary  sweet cola and iced tea fat bombs.

Bai infused drinks are th eperfect antidote for all those sugary colas and teas. switch over to them today and enjoy their refreshing  sparkly taste.They;re a treat for your taste buds and your palate.

Food Doctors

I've always felt that our health care professionals should care about the way we eat. After all it's food that not only fuels us but can heal or hurt us. Now doctors are realizing that and are taking an interest in everything form shopping to food prep and cooking. This can open their minds to what their patients should be eating and what they should avoid.

This trend was picked up in the New York Times in yet another interesting article in their Dining section.The piece, written by Patricia Leigh Brown, tells of even novices learning how to wield a knife outside the operating room. Doctors learn how to expertly slice  as well as create flavorful and healthy dishes. Dr. David M. Eisenberg is the driving force behind this push, creating conferences and classes for his fellow doctors.Some are former practitioners themselves such Dr John Principe of Parlin Heights,a Chicago suburb. He  now has a culinary boot camp where he teaches patients how to whip up such healthy dishes as cauliflower crust pizza. (Medical insurance does cover the cost under a group medical appointment model)

Learning more about the intricacies of diet and nutrition can benefit doctors,They can recommend tastier yet healthier dishes for their patients. They can recommend subbing in spices as opposed to dictating a salt free diet. Doctors now can suggest meal plans that are not only beneficial but tasty.  Instead of prescribing  bland and over cooked veggies  they now can give them recipes for an antioxidant rich ratatouille or whole wheat pasta with homemade sauce. Everyone is happy then, from a doctor who knows his patients will eat right to the patients themselves; happy they can still eat fun and delicious foods.

Doctors can learn a lot from chefs. With this knowledge they can pass it to their patients. Sometimes food, good and healthy is really the best medicine, It's about time they realize it.
