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.

Red Bull Reveals the New Red Bull® Spring Edition Cherry Sakura
Red Bull has launched the limited-time Spring Edition Cherry Sakura, a seasonal flavor available nationwide in both sugar and sugar-free options. This new variant features a bright profile of cherry, cherry blossom, and a hint of almond. With 80mg of caffeine per 8.4 fl oz can, it aims to capture spring’s vibrant energy.
Red Bull is leaning into spring vibes in a big way.
In a Feb. 23, 2026 announcement out of Santa Monica, the brand revealed Red Bull Spring Edition Cherry Sakura—a limited-time flavor designed to match the season’s “let’s get outside” energy. The release is available nationwide now, and it’s coming in two options: with sugar and sugar-free.
What it tastes like
Red Bull describes the new Spring Edition as a layered flavor built for people who want something bright, floral, and a little unexpected.
Here’s the profile the company shared:
- Cherry
- Cherry blossom (sakura)
- A touch of almond flavor
The result sounds like a spring-forward twist—sweet and fruit-led up front, with a floral note and a light, nutty finish.
What to look for on shelves
If you’re scanning the cooler, Red Bull says the Spring Edition Cherry Sakura will be easy to spot.
The cans are packaged in:
- White-colored 8.4 fl oz and 12 fl oz individual cans
- Cherry-red lettering accents
Like other seasonal drops, this one is expected to move quickly. Red Bull notes it will be sold at retailers nationwide “while supplies last.”
Same functional ingredients, new seasonal flavor
Red Bull also emphasized that Spring Edition Cherry Sakura contains the same functional ingredients as Red Bull Energy Drink, with the difference being the limited-time taste.
For caffeine context, the company says one 8.4 fl oz can contains 80mg of caffeine, which it compares to about the same amount as a home-brewed cup of coffee.
The bigger picture: Red Bull’s scale keeps growing
Seasonal flavors have become a reliable way for major beverage brands to keep things fresh, and Red Bull’s numbers show why these launches matter.
According to the company, Red Bull Energy Drink is available in 178 countries, and more than 13.9 billion cans were consumed in 2025 alone.
Bottom line
If spring flavors are your thing—or you’re just ready for something new in the energy drink lineup—Red Bull Spring Edition Cherry Sakura is officially in the wild. It’s nationwide, it’s limited, and it’s available with sugar or sugar-free, so you can pick your lane and stock up before it disappears.

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.
