BACK TO SCHOOL Must-Haves for Grade School to College

Do you have kids entering a new school season? Giving them a fresh start to a new school year is important. Here is a list of essentials for school kids of various ages.

STAY HYDRATED!

Functional beverage brand, BevPax introduces Survive Isotonic Electrolyte Drink, making hydration and performance healthy, tasty and economical.

A priority for athletes and active kids, Survive Isotonic is packed with electrolytes for hydration, energy and physical performance, without tons of additives and sugars other sports drinks have.

Survive isn’t just a beverage brand, it’s fuel for the people who want to live better, feel stronger and enhance their lifestyle with drinks that match their drive. Survive Isotonic is the latest drink developed to power up the body with a positive punch of electrolytes that provide hydration, energy and improved physical performance for your fitness routine.

The Survive Isotonic will be sold in 29.5-ounce (750mL) bottles made from PET for on-the-go convenience and is available at Dollar Tree stores. In a new partnership with Plastic Bank, BevPax is offsetting its PET production by sponsoring the collection of 240,500 pounds of plastic from vulnerable coastal areas before the plastic reaches the oceans. As a 2022-20223 sponsor of the global program, BevPax commits to reduce waste with a goal of 5,454,550 plastic bottles.

A more affordable option than other fruit-flavored electrolyte drinks and with more inside, Survive Isotonic comes in bestselling Fruit Punch, Orange and Ice Blue flavors for just $1.25 MSRP. Not only does it work harder for our bodies, it tastes better, too – helping break time feel more empowering with every sip.

Aloe Water – The ongoing trend in the beverage industry is “functional beverages”…beverages that just don’t give you something to drink, but actually provide health benefits from drinking it. And if you have been on Tik Tok, you know there was recently a trend of drinking aloe vera juice and water…and one in particular took center stage, Aloe Vio! But Aloe Vio is not just noise on social media….it actually has many health benefits and we wanted to give you…

5 reasons you and your kids should be drinking aloe water…

• Obviously…Hydration: Aloe water is a great way to stay hydrated, as it contains water and electrolytes that help to replenish fluids lost through sweat and other bodily functions.
• Digestion: Aloe vera has been traditionally used to help with digestive issues, such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. Drinking aloe water may help to soothe the digestive tract and promote regularity.
• Skin Health: Aloe vera contains vitamins and minerals that are important for skin health, such as vitamins A, C, and E, as well as zinc and magnesium. Drinking aloe water may help to improve skin hydration and promote a clearer complexion….something highlighted on Tik Tok!
• Immune System Support: Aloe vera contains compounds that have been shown to have immune-boosting properties, such as polysaccharides and antioxidants. Drinking aloe water may help to support a healthy immune system…and who couldn’t use that during the germ-filled school year!
• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Aloe vera has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to reduce inflammation in the body and potentially alleviate conditions such as arthritis and other inflammatory disorders. Drinking aloe water may help to promote overall health and well-being. And with active kids, this will help them recover from the big game even faster!

And when you are looking for the perfect aloe water, look no further that Aloe Vio. With a variety of refreshing flavors like watermelon, pineapple and passion fruit, this aloe vera water is the perfect complement to Summer fun! And it won’t break the bank! Aloe Vio is affordable AND healthy!

Aloe Vio is made from real aloe vera with and without pulp. Aloe Vio is never made from powder or concentrate. Available in natural and a range of flavors and sizes, standard aloe, sugar free and sparkling aloe for that refreshing taste.

Aloe Vio is available at Dollar General and more retailers coming this Fall!

Don’t Forget the Snacks!

Keeping healthy snacks handy for fuel and nutrition during the school year is essential and Festive Chickpeas are the PERFECT go-to snack! It’s a fantastic no-nut, allergy-free crunchy snack that kids…and parents!…will love!

Chickpeas are a great on the go snack, for lunch, after school, at practice or even when mom or dad needs a pick me up before dinner! , because they are low in calories and high in fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. They are also a great source of plant-based protein.

Festive Chickpeas have reinvented the chickpea, unhusking it, using the chickpea hearts (halves) to give it big crunch and even bigger flavor! All while being packed with protein and unbelievably good for you!

Festive Chickpeas have ZERO preservatives, are non-GMO, soy-free, gluten-free and are 100% vegan (except BBQ) to accommodate every snacker’s lifestyle. Aside from being plentiful with protein and nutritious, they’re exploding with flavor. Each pocket-sized bag is abundant in fiber, iron and potassium, has 10 grams of protein and no trans fats. The crispy chickpeas are dusted with ocean-fresh sea salt – making them an easy and equally satiating alternative to potato chips.

Festive Chickpeas are celebrating snack time one step further with new fun flavors, including Sour Cream and Onion, Sweet & Smoky BBQ and Ranch – because who wants to live without such tangy, savory flavor in their life?

FESTIVE IS THE FIRST TO “UNHUSK” THE CHICKPEA, USING CHICKPEA HEARTS, GIVING IT A BUTTERY, FRESH CRUNCHY TASTE!

FOR EXTRA NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT

Dr. Robert Melillo, the author of Disconnected Kids and co-founder of Brain Balance Centers, has spent decades working with thousands of families to develop a supplement that packs a powerful punch for brain development. Dr. Melillo has formulated these capsules with a high dose of vitamins that help promote brain development and gut health.

KidGenius Vitamins are specially formulated to help with issues like attention, focus, academics / learning, memory, motivation, and gut health.  They have been reformulated as a capsule to be 100% natural, no sweeteners, only taken once per day.

KidGenius is MADE WITH CARE FOR KIDS, including essential minerals and herbs to Help Your Kid Learn Faster and Concentrate Better!

They are Non-GMO, 100% Natural, No Sweeteners and Gluten Free. Made in USA in FDA and cGMP Certified Lab.

Attention and focusing problems are estimated to affect 1 in 9 kids in the US. It is the number one issue among today’s youth. Research shows that immaturity or reduced growth of the whole brain, especially the right side, may be related to attention, concentration, impulsivity and other related issues. KidGenius Vitamins is specially formulated by Dr. Robert Melillo – one of the foremost experts in brain development – to help promote growth and development of the brain.

Learning and memory issues are one of the fastest growing problems and is estimated to affect 1 in 7 kids in the United States. Research shows that immaturity or reduced growth of the whole brain, especially the left side, may be related to learning, memory, motivation, mood, and other related issues.

Gut issues related to vitamin, mineral and amino acid deficiencies, leaky gut and food sensitivities (like to gluten and dairy) are becoming more common in children. Research shows that these issues are more likely to occur if a child has some sort of developmental delay and suggests that the brain may be partly if not wholly responsible for gut and digestive issues. If the brain is immature, the gut may be immature as well.

IF YOUR CHILD CANNOT SWALLOW CAPSULES – THESE CAPSULES ARE MADE OF VERY EASILY BE OPENED BY A PARENT AND THEY CAN BE SPRINKLED ON FOOD OR IN A DRINK WITH NO TASTE AT ALL.
