Mom Always Said…
“Breakfast is
the most important meal of the day”. And she was
right. At
Thoreau
Foods, we took that to
heart and produced a line of super charged Peak Performance
Cereals that are high in Omega 3’s, Fiber, Protein, and
Antioxidants. Our
ingredients are 95% organic which means no pesticides,
chemicals, hormones or GMO’s. Our cereals are delicious and
nutritious. We
use real, organic, whole grains, nuts, seeds, dried fruits,
herbs and spices to bring you a power packed cereal that
provides you with sustained energy throughout your morning.
Focus on Fiber
One hundred years ago, people consumed five to ten
times the amount of fiber compared to today. Much of this has been
due to increases in processed foods. The ADA recommends 20 – 35 grams of
total fiber daily.
One bowl of Thoreau
Foods Chia Power Cereal provides you with a
total of 12 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber from whole food
ingredients. The
two types of fiber found in Thoreau
Foods cereals are soluble which dissolves in
water and insoluble which provides bulk. The soluble fiber has
been found to be helpful in lowering cholesterol and managing
diabetes while the insoluble fiber provides roughage to the
digestion process and improves colon function.
According to
The Journal of the American Medical Association, a diet high
in soluble fiber, plant sterols, and almonds resulted in
reductions in the LDL:HDL ratio equal to those found with
Lovastatin treatment (1). Soluble fiber like
that found in oat bran, chia seed and flax seed, all found in
our cereal, is very viscous (gel forming) and when mixed with
a liquid it creates a physical barrier slowing down the
interaction between food and digestive enzymes. This results in lower
blood sugar levels (low Glycemic Index) which is important in
preventing and controlling diabetes as well as in weight
control(2). In summary,
fiber:
- Assists
in removing cholesterol and triglycerides from the body
(3)
- Improves bowel motility thereby
maintaining regularity (4)
- Assists in excreting toxins and
heavy metals due to its binding properties
- Decreases
the risk of constipation, hemorrhoids and
diverticulosis
- Reduces
the risk of cardiovascular disease (5)
- Helps stabilize blood glucose levels
and provides a feeling of fullness
