Memorial Day Heralds the Start of Summer

Memorial Day is a chance to remember all the service men and women for their sacrifice, and it’s become one of America’s favorite holiday weekends. For many Americans this weekend also heralds the start of summer — with school ending, vacations beginning, beaches opening and plenty of camping, barbecuing and outdoor recreation ahead.

So while all this summer fun is going on, it’s important to be mindful of your health, eat well and stay hydrated. When heading to the beach, pack that sunscreen to offset the hot sun. At your next cookout — in addition to all the meats – add shrimp, a green salad and fresh fruit to help balance the meal. And with any of your outdoor activities, it’s important to have plenty to drink to stay hydrated in the heat.

And not just any liquid. Soft drinks, energy drinks, iced tea, alcohol and similar beverages can actually dehydrate you. This especially true for sugar-laden drinks, where research has shown that the sugar in these drinks removes water from the body.

That’s why water is the perfect beverage choice for all the summer fun ahead and Syfo Beverages can give you the best of both worlds. Our Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters and Original Seltzer are made with purified water and contain no sugar, sodium, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or other additives. The effervescence is refreshing, the water hydrating and our all-natural flavors make Syfo the perfect complement for any summer activity, get-together or meal. For the perfect summer treat, try our new Peach-Pear Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water!

So enjoy all of your Memorial Day weekend activities while remembering our brave service men and women. And be sure to have plenty of Syfo on hand for those summer days ahead.

Healthy Beverages for Moms and their Families

Happy Mother’s Day from Syfo

Everyone at Syfo Beverages would like to pay tribute to mothers everywhere this Mother’s Day. In this day and age, when it’s so difficult to make healthy diet and beverages choices, mothers do such a great job in providing for and nurturing their families. And Syfo is glad to be there to help.

Mothers are becoming increasingly concerned about the negative health effects that sugary sodas have on their children and Syfo can be a great alternative. Just mix any Syfo flavor with a juice and you have a winner that’s sure to please the entire family. Or if you’re trying to finally rid your refrigerator of soft drinks by weaning your family off of sugary drinks, try a mix of half soda and half Syfo. Less sugar means better health.

Even if you’re not a mother, we salute all women who nurture nieces, nephews, parents, pets and boyfriends. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

Kids’ Sugar Consumption Continues to Rise

Despite the growing body of information that’s been published (including on this site) about the negative effects of sugar on children’s health, a disturbing fact remains: sugar consumption for kids continues to grow.

The trend really started to gather steam in the late eighties (between 1989 and 2008) during which calories from sugary beverages increased by 60% in children ages six to eleven, while the percentage of children consuming them rose from 79% to 91%. Consumption in older children is even more alarming — a study by the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that sugary drinks (soda, energy, sports drinks) are the top calorie source in teens’ diets (226 calories per day), beating out pizza (213 calories per day).

And the problem appears to be getting worse. A 2014 study in California indicated that consumption of sugary drinks increased another 26% over 2009. Since the first version of  our post appeared, this study in the British Medical Journal indicates that the trend continues to accelerate through 2018. The potential health implications of this on our kids are many — including obesity, diabetes, dental problems and issues like cardiovascular disease as adults. Because of this alarming trend, a health panel in 2025 that included experts from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association recommended limiting plant-based milk alternatives, flavored milk, caffeine and beverages sweetened with both sugar and non-sugar sweeteners in kids’ beverage consumption. .

So Moms and Dads, it’s time to take a stand and reverse these trends. Syfo can help. Our Original Seltzer and delicious Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters (Wild Cherry, Tangerine-Orange, Lemon-Lime and Peach-Pear) quench thirst, keep you hydrated and contain no sugar, sodium, preservatives or artificial sweeteners. Plus, with Syfo you can get creative and keep your kids’ taste buds delighted. Click here for a refreshing recipe that the entire family will love .
