Why are our Organic Food Bars superior to most bars?
Alkalizing Protein from whole food sources is crucial for sustaining and building strength and healthy muscle tissue. But what most people do not know is that quality (i.e. digestibility and pH balance) is more important than quantity. Consuming a large amount of acid forming, hard to digest protein is not the best nutritional direction to take. Organic Food Bars utilize easy to digest organic almond butter and rice protein.
Unlike isolated soy protein, these whole food protein sources have a neutral or even alkalizing effect on the blood and cellular tissue. This is very important; because sustained activity creates excess lactic acid in the body. Consuming products that are also acid producing (i.e. just about every other bar available on the market), simply adds to the problem. With Organic Food Bars, you get the protein you need, but in a form that helps to reduce acid in your body. For the athlete, this creates noticeably less joint and muscle soreness and greatly reduces recovery time from hard workouts. Whether you are an athlete or just a busy person on the go, Organic Food Bars will help you to reach your health and fitness goals much quicker.
Healthy Carbohydrates for creating sustained energy, mental clarity and satisfying the appetite is imperative. With all of the current hype regarding low carbohydrate diets and energy bars, nothing is more miss-understood. When you have an Organic Food Bar for breakfast or lunch, you are consuming only 12% of the recommended daily value of carbohydrates. This is a truly healthy low carb diet perfect for more energy or helping to lose weight. Processed and refined sugars, such as fructose or corn syrup are the problem not carbohydrates. Additionally, we use agave nectar in three of our formulas (Vegan, Omega-3 and Active Greens). Agave nectar has a very low glycemic index, rating at 10 where a score of 55 is considered very low, thus being a very low impact sugar. The bottom line is that when used as a meal, our Organic Food Bars give you just the right amount of carbohydrates to keep your energy levels optimum.
Healthy Fats are essential for extended endurance, cardiovascular health, improved immunity and hormone balance. The bottom line: the body needs good fats. All of the Organic Food Bars are rich in essential fatty acids, phytosterols and sterolins, all renowned for their critical health benefits that cannot be achieved on a low or no fat diet. In fact, our Organic Omega Food Bar™ provides 2 grams of Omega 3's, the most essential of the essential fatty acids. Healthy fats, such as those found in Organic Food Bars are necessary for endurance athletes or anyone needing extra immune system support.
Phyto-nutrients improve overall health, immunity and resistance to disease. In the quest for better health, certain phyto-nutrients have been proven to be very helpful. Organic Food Bars are rich in many different types of phyto-nutrient sprouts including organic flax, soy, and quinoa; and superfoods including wheat grass, barley grass and blueberry (Active Greens Bar™ only). These nutrient dense sprouts and superfoods are highly concentrated in a wide variety of phyto-nutrients that support the body in its quest to regain and maintain health and balance.
Enzymes are preserved in the Organic Food Bars due to cold processing. Organic Food Bars are rich in enzymes that are helpful in digestion and utilization of the nutrients at a cellular level. It is important to include fresh, raw, unprocessed foods in our diet. All of the Organic Food Bars are a powerful step in that direction, while maintaining the affordability and convenience necessary in today's busy lifestyles!
