Health foods have become talk of the hour, this is relation to the fact that a majority of today’s youth is growing up on fast/junk foods. While these food items are tasty and delicious, they fail to meet the mark in terms of nutritional content and providing wholesome growth benefits.
To give you an idea of how bad things are, in a recent study conducted by Mayo Clinic, it was found that one an average the weight levels of men and women have gone up by nearly 5 kilos in the past 50 years. This means that in just a short span our dietary habits have completely evolved to a point where we no longer are dependent of healthy/home cooked meals.
Instead, today we have foods that come loaded with sugars, carbs and fats. They are delicious, but when it comes time to digest these ‘nutrients dense’ foods, the body quite often finds it hard and thus begins to feel dull, drowsy and sleepy. It would still be alright if that was the end of it, however these sugars and fats end up partially metabolizing and form lipid aggregates in our bellies and gut area.
This is where modern health bars come in. Due to their unique compositional profile, a majority of health snacks today contain nuts, seeds, fruits so as to compensate for any nutritional deficiency one might have.
On a similar vein, these health bars also contain natural sugars which have been found to aid in the release of sustained energy. Thus they can be used as fuel whenever one is feeling down or tired. Lastly, a majority of health bars contain low amounts of carbs, thus they are ideal for energy development through fat rather than other nutrient bases.
About Health Warrior
Health Warrior has been described by media outlets as a ‘food and social movement brand’. The company emphasizes on the fact that ‘better health will build a stronger society’, and thus its mission is to ‘inspire a healthy diet and regular exercise habits in everyday people’.
The company’s humble roots can be traced back to the year 2010, when a group of college friends, Dan, Nick and Shane decided that the market needed a revolution in terms of its snacking options.
It is important to mention here that all of the involved members were former collegiate athletes who used to approach food as ‘calories to burn during hours of daily practices’.
Thus, through personal experience, the founders started working on health foods that contained the most potent natural extracts that could help individuals get fit, without having to compromise on their food habits.
