Well friends, this is something neat for you. While everyone is aware of Canada’s Food Guide, what you may not know is that Health Canada has created one that you can personalize. It’s called ‘My Food Guide‘, and Health Canada calls it ’an interactive tool that will help you personalize the information found in Canada’s Food Guide.’

 How it personalizes it is this: you enter your age, your gender, and a few other variables and it creates a customized tool. Futhermore, there are a variety of languages.

So what are you waiting for? It’s a new year, why not a new you?

It’s always a good idea to know where your food comes from. Here’s a few fun facts about food, from our friends over at FarmFoodsFun.com [holy alliteration, Batman!]

Anyway, here’s a few things you may or may not know:

• Fast food restaurants use yellow, red, and orange because those are the colors that stimulate hunger.
• The average person can live about a month without eating any food, but can only live about a week without water.
• 97 per cent of caffeine must be removed from coffee for it to be labeled “decaffeinated.”
• One-third pound stalk of broccoli contains more vitamin C than 204 apples.

When it comes to meal replacement issues, many people are hesitant. They feel that by skipping an actual physical meal and having a bar or a shake instead, they’re setting themselves on a poor diet path. The little secret? That’s not the case at all. All of our products – whether it’s a shake, a powder mix or a bar – are loaded with the essential nutrients and proteins you need to get through the day. 

If you’re an athlete, you know how important nutrition is. Not only is there the constant pressure to stay fit and win, but perhaps you need to pack on the pounds. You don’t have time in between workouts to cook, so what can you do? One of our delicious high-protein bars, like Caramel Nougat, would do the trick in between winning championships. 

One Nutribar contains 24 vitamins and minerals. It’s also an excellent source of calcium and iron. Just like a regular meal, Nutribar contains the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats you would need in a complete meal. You get the added bonus, however, of eating something delicious that contains fewer calories than most regular meals. And as we all know, reduced calorie intake usually results in weight loss. 

But don’t just take our word for it. Try one of our products for yourself today. Or contact us for anything.
