Comienzos inteligentes para un corazón sano: Mejore la hidratación y evite los azúcares añadidos con bebidas más saludables
Corazón sano
(Family Features) La forma de empezar la mañana puede influir en el resto del día. Si quiere incorporar opciones más saludables a su rutina matutina, pruebe un concepto conocido como “habit stacking” (apilar hábitos). Incorporar pequeños hábitos más saludables a las rutinas que ya se tienen, como disfrutar de una bebida matutina o desayunar antes de revisar el correo electrónico en lugar de empezar directamente con las tareas del día, puede hacer más fácil mantener un nuevo hábito cuando se incorpora a una rutina ya existente.
Si ya disfruta de la rutina del desayuno para empezar el día, considere la posibilidad de cambiar las bebidas azucaradas por una bebida más sana como el té verde o negro sin azúcar. Si se incorpora a una dieta sana, el té sin azúcar puede contribuir a la salud del corazón.
Si necesita ayuda para empezar, Lipton, orgulloso patrocinador nacional de la campaña Life is Why de la American Heart Association, ha creado estas recetas de té fáciles de hacer y más saludables.
Con un pequeño puñado de ingredientes, los batidos de té verde, bayas y plátano resultan muy sabrosos, ideales para un desayuno rápido. Para refrescarse a cualquier hora del día, los Spritzers espumosos de té verde y arándanos ofrecen una solución sin azúcares añadidos, mientras que los Mocktails de Mojito de té verde sin alcohol aportan dulzor natural con jugo 100% de fruta.
Elegir bebidas sin azúcares añadidos puede contribuir a un corazón sano, según la American Heart Association, por lo que estas recetas son perfectas para acumular hábitos a diario. Debido a que es predominantemente agua, que es necesaria para que el cuerpo funcione de la mejor manera, el té sin azúcar proporciona una forma deliciosa de hidratarse sin renunciar a esos hábitos más saludables.

Last Updated on February 7, 2026 by Daily News Staff
Teremana® The People’s Margarita and Wingstop Original Hot Wings
Teremana® Tequila Partners With Wingstop to Celebrate Fans of Flavor This Postseason
Teremana® Tequila is bringing the good energy to game day. In a new “Fans of Flavor” partnership announced Jan. 9, 2026, the premium tequila brand founded by Dwayne Johnson is teaming up with Wingstop—the global wing brand known for fresh, made-to-order chicken wings, bold flavors, and its iconic housemade ranch—to help fans turn watch parties into full-on flavor celebrations. The idea is simple: rival teams may split the room, but wings and margaritas are universal.

Why Wheat Beers Still Win for Me After All These Years
After years of drinking beer from around the world, wheat beers remain my favorite. Here’s why flavor, balance, and craft still matter.
I’ve been legally drinking beer long enough to remember when the default choice at most bars was something cold, fizzy, and forgettable. Like most people, when I turned 21, I drank what was available, what was cheap, and what everyone else was drinking.
Over time, my palate evolved—and my patience for bland, mass-produced beer disappeared.
These days, if I’m reaching for a beer, chances are it’s a wheat beer.
From “Anything Cold” to Actually Tasting Beer
Early on, I learned something important: not all beer is created equal. The big mainstream domestic brands—built for volume, shelf life, and advertising budgets—never really did it for me. They’re engineered to offend no one, which usually means they excite no one either.
Thin body. Muted flavor. A sameness that makes one brand blur into the next.
That doesn’t mean I dislike American beer. Quite the opposite.
Why Craft and Small Breweries Changed Everything
What I do appreciate are medium-sized breweries, small operations, and microbreweries that actually care about flavor, balance, and craftsmanship. Domestic brewers who treat beer like food—not just a commodity—have produced some outstanding work over the years.
The rise of craft beer proved that American brewers could compete with the best in the world when flavor came first.
Discovering Wheat Beers: Flavor Without Heaviness
My appreciation for wheat beers came naturally. Unlike many heavy ales or aggressively hopped styles, wheat beers offer complexity without exhaustion.
A great wheat beer delivers:
- A soft, rounded mouthfeel
- Notes of banana, clove, citrus, or spice
- Natural carbonation that lifts the flavor
- Balance that works whether you sip or socialize
German Hefeweizens, Weissbiers, and Weizenbocks set the standard. Breweries like Weihenstephaner, Paulaner, Franziskaner, and Schneider Weisse showed me just how expressive wheat beer can be without trying to overwhelm the drinker.
Tasting the World, Not Just the Shelf
Over the years, I’ve sampled beers from around the world—Germany, Belgium, the UK, Mexico, Japan, and beyond. Each region brings something different, but the best beers share a common thread: intention.
Once you’ve tasted beers refined over centuries, it’s hard to get excited about products designed mainly for shelf stability and mass appeal.
Yes, American Wheat Beers Can Be Great Too
To be fair, American craft brewers have done some excellent work with wheat beers. Some stay true to traditional styles, while others experiment carefully with citrus or spice.
The good ones respect the base beer instead of burying it under gimmicks.
Why Wheat Beers Still Top My List
After years of drinking, tasting, and learning, wheat beers remain my go-to for one simple reason: they deliver flavor without fatigue.
They don’t need extreme bitterness. They don’t rely on shock value. They don’t pretend to be something they’re not.
Wheat beers are confident, approachable, and honest—and that’s something I appreciate more with every passing year.
I’ll always respect a well-made beer, no matter where it’s brewed. But if you ask me what I actually enjoy drinking, what I come back to again and again, it’s wheat beers.
Not shouted through a commercial.
