hey what's up ladies and gentlemen this
0:01
is David Benjamin from healthy Wild free
0:04
in today's video I'm going to be sharing
0:05
with you how to make a natural soda from
0:08
home and the reason why this is awesome
0:11
is because if you're trying to get over
0:13
a sugar addiction if you're trying to
0:14
stop uh drinking any type of liquid
0:17
sugar uh whether it's regular soda or
0:20
diet soda uh these are really the worst
0:22
forms of sugar and really artificial
0:24
sweeteners because when you drink in a
0:26
liquid sugar your body doesn't have
0:28
fiber protein or fat which buffers the
0:31
absorption of sugar and the reason
0:32
buffering the absorption of sugar into
0:34
your bloodstream is so important is
0:36
because when you drink in Sugar your
0:38
insulin levels Spike and when you have
0:41
fiber protein or fat these things act
0:43
act as a buffer so that the absorption
0:46
of that sugar is slower into your
0:47
bloodstream therefore making it not as
0:50
hard on your blood sugar levels so you
0:52
have less spikes and crashes in terms of
0:54
your blood sugar levels and insulin
0:56
levels so what you can do if you're part
0:59
of your new New Year's resolution is to
1:01
just simply drink healthier drinks and
1:03
still have a beverage that you enjoy is
1:05
you can make your own natural sodas from
1:08
home in a very simple and easy way and
1:11
flavor it however you see fit so you can
1:12
sort of mimic your favorite soda or you
1:15
can mimic your favorite carbonated drink
1:17
and still have that same sort of effect
1:19
where you enjoy the beverage but without
1:21
all the downsides for your health so uh
1:24
what you're going to need to make your
1:25
own healthy soda from home it's very
1:26
simple is you just need a carbonated
1:29
water machine now this is a soda stream
1:32
and I found a link that I put in the
1:33
description uh that I think will give
1:35
you like 20% off so I'll put that below
1:37
uh but you can use any carbonated water
1:39
machine it really doesn't matter which
1:40
one you have but if you don't have one
1:42
I'll put a link below for 20% off and
1:44
what this does is it simply just adds
1:45
CO2 to your water so CO2 is carbon
1:47
dioxide carbon dioxide uh makes it so
1:50
that uh the water has that fizzy you
1:52
know flare right that that carbonated
1:55
taste that Fizzy Bubbly uh you know
1:58
effect uh it gives the water that and
2:00
that's what soda has that's that's why
2:02
soda has that carbonated Fizz it's
2:04
really just carbon dioxide so you get
2:05
one of these and uh that's your base so
2:08
your base is carbonated water so
2:11
obviously you want to use a higher
2:12
quality water I recommend reverse
2:14
osmosis or distilled water uh Spring
2:16
Water these types of waters work best
2:18
you want to have a healthy water you
2:19
don't want to use tap water obviously I
2:21
don't recommend anyone drink tap water
2:22
for health purposes and or you know well
2:25
water is okay too obviously and then you
2:26
take that water base and you start with
2:29
your carbonated water U base and then
2:31
you add on top of that so let's start
2:33
with that so with this all that you're
2:34
going to do is open the bottle of water
2:36
and you put it in here and the trick is
2:39
that when you put it in the machine you
2:42
uh you put it up here and it clicks in
2:44
there and then it should click to the
2:46
point where it's airborne right like it
2:48
should be hanging I can put my hand
2:50
under this you then push it shut like
2:52
this once you push it shut it locks in
2:55
and it's still hanging a little bit and
2:57
then you just simply press the button
2:58
this toop here and you hold it down
2:59
until you hear a sound so
3:06
watch did you hear that at the end
3:10
that's what you want to do it until so
3:11
you do that about three to five times
3:13
and you can do it less if you want a
3:15
less carbonate beverage and more if you
3:16
wanted more carbonated beverage so you
3:17
can play around that and experiment and
3:19
see what works for you now once you have
3:21
that carbonated water you take it out
3:23
and pull it out and I don't know if you
3:26
can see that it's actually
3:28
uh cling a bit uh so you take that and
3:32
you put that carbonate water base and
3:33
I'm just showing you as an example for
3:35
this video into a glass right so you
3:37
pour it and it's already carbonated so
3:40
as you can see it's bubbly right it's
3:42
already bubbling you take that bubbly
3:44
water and now you're going to add a
3:46
sweetener into it and the sweetener that
3:47
I recommend for this it's I love that
3:50
bubbly water uh I recommend uh this
3:53
company they have and oddly enough
3:54
interestingly enough they have also the
3:56
best water filters in the market for
3:58
your home so if you're looking for a
3:59
filter and a sweetener to make healthy
4:01
soda from home this is your company and
4:03
I'll put a discount code below as well
4:04
this company is oma Organics they have a
4:06
vanilla sweetened uh Stevia they have a
4:09
butterscotch toffee Stevia uh they also
4:12
have a sweet Blossom Stevia which is the
4:14
flow from the orange tree and that one
4:17
is amazing that one I actually don't
4:18
have right now it's gone it's probably
4:19
my favorite vanilla being they're all
4:22
good they're all just different right so
4:24
the they have different flavors I think
4:25
they have like four at least three I
4:28
think maybe four or five flavors of
4:29
flavor of stevia um the vanilla is great
4:32
the butterscotch toffee is great the
4:34
sweet Blossom is great these are just
4:35
great sweeteners they also oh they also
4:37
have a plain Stevia so if you just want
4:39
to do plain that gives you sweet the
4:41
sweetener but then you can add the
4:42
additional powder or whatever it may be
4:44
to your soda to give it the effect that
4:46
you want so what I'm going to do is I'm
4:47
just going to add uh like for example
4:50
right here um some drops of vanilla so
4:52
I'm going to do a couple drops of
4:53
vanilla you add that in there and then
4:56
say you want like a um citrusy right
5:00
you'll take a lime or a lemon or a
5:02
grapefruit or any you know Clementine
5:05
would work as well Tangerine any citrus
5:08
fruit and you just simply cut it open
5:10
and then you know put some of that
5:12
Citrus uh element into there and squeeze
5:16
it and add that in there
5:19
right and squeeze as much as you can
5:22
obviously that's that's the goal to get
5:24
the the juice out of the fruit and once
5:27
you get that in there and um this is not
5:30
squeezing that well but get some in
5:31
there and you know just throw it on the
5:33
side like that and uh there you go you
5:37
have a natural soda just like that so
5:40
this is a lime vanilla lime Stevia
5:48
soda and it's amazing like literally
5:53
amazing and it took me like 2 minutes so
5:57
what I would recommend is making a
5:58
bigger batch of this and putting it into
6:00
a sealed bottle like such throwing that
6:03
in your fridge uh and I would recommend
6:06
ideally not plastic but you know a
6:07
larger bottle uh make your blend make
6:11
your soda put it into ideally a glass
6:13
bottle you know like this like a glass
6:15
bottle and seal it and put it in the
6:17
fridge and then make sure the top seals
6:20
well because you want to hold that
6:21
carbonation in carbonation bubbles up
6:24
and leaves over time so seal it in glass
6:26
bottle keep it in your fridge uh and you
6:29
can just put a label on the bottle if
6:31
you want so you can do different flavors
6:33
but this one right here this is a uh
6:34
like I said a lime this is a lime uh
6:37
Stevia lime vanilla Stevia uh and it's
6:41
delicious and it's healthy
6:50
so yeah it's really good
6:53
like you can't go wrong with this so I
6:56
just recommend using a carbonated
6:59
machine get your carbonated water
7:00
machine if you don't have one creating
7:02
carbonated water that's always your base
7:03
because that's what soda water is and
7:06
then the sweeteners are essential these
7:08
sweeteners work incredibly well the
7:09
thing I like about this Stevia also by
7:11
the way if you think Stevia has an
7:12
aftertaste you got to try this Stevia
7:13
because it doesn't it has it's just
7:17
sweet it doesn't have that like weird
7:18
Stevie aftertaste and it's just because
7:20
it's a higher quality it's organic and
7:21
then the other like for example
7:23
butterscotch or vanilla you can just
7:25
flavor it in different directions I like
7:26
to always add a citrus fruit of some
7:27
kind to the carbonated water to make
7:29
some sort of citrusy soda beverage and
7:32
then different sweeteners so I just mix
7:33
it up so that's what I recommend uh it
7:36
works really well and uh you're going to
7:38
save a lot of money and it's a lot
7:40
healthier for you and uh you can just
7:42
keep it in your fridge so cheers to
