Health Drinks For People Over 50

Many people over 50 are looking for organic and natural health drinks to replace the pasteurized, preservative filled sugar laden beverages available today. Furthermore swallowing a large number of pills everyday, several times a day is just not enjoyable.

Some of the top drinks on the market today include MonaVie, Life Force and even Green Tea. Most of these beverages make great claims to the benefits, vitamins, nutrients and health advantages to consuming the product.

So what is the dirty little secret all these drinks have in common? They are all pasteurized which means the drink was boiled, then packaged and delivered to your local store or directly to your home.

What exactly happens to all those great vitamins when you pasteurize (i.e. boil)? They are all destroyed by the extreme heat. 80% of the nutrients and vitamins listed on the label are now gone and the remaining 20% will deteriorate over the next month leaving you with dead juice that barely has any of the nutritional value listed on the label.

So what is the alternative so you actually get the benefits needed for people over 50? You want to look for a drink that is NOT pasteurized.

Since pasteurization is standard practice in the beverage industry (even enhanced or flavored watered is pasteurized) you must look for a drink that is not a liquid when you buy it. The simple fact is that unless the drink goes bad in two or three days it has been pasteurized; so you can head to the local farmers market or follow the advice below.

Use tea bags instead of buying premade tea

Go with powdered drinks you add to water

Look for "freeze dried" mixes for vitamins & nutrients to make into a drink

Try Yoli, an all natural health drink & dietary supplement that is never pasteurized
