Health Supplements: Meal Replacements

by @ Noah's Natural Foods: Latest News

Sat Aug 27 16:14:31 PDT 2016

Between the prominent rise of fast food and modern industry relying more and more on people sitting at a desk watching a computer screen than manual labor, among other things, more and more Canadians are looking for ways to help maintain their weight. And as the market for weight loss grows, so do the weight loss trends. However, with so many products on the market, how do you know which ones will be best for your lifestyle? And if you are already living a healthy, all-natural lifestyle, will you see the results you want?

Natural Health Supplements and Meal Replacements

One way many people attempt to lose weight is by changing their diet. At first, it can be easy to simply cut foods that we know are bad for us: fast food, sugary sodas and energy drinks, and candy are all examples of unhealthy food that can be replaced with healthier alternatives such as salads, herbal teas, and fruits. In addition to replacing high calorie foods with calorie-dense healthy foods, though, many people are turning to natural health supplements including complete meal replacements. Meal replacements are essentially nutrient-rich powders that are used to make beverages that allow the user to forgo eating a traditional meal. In essence, they are a specialized form of a whey protein shake that is designed to provide complete nutrition that satisfies hunger rather much the way a pre-workout supplement is designed to give extra energy.

Whenever starting a new diet or adding health supplements to your daily regimen, you should consult your physician to make a weight loss plan together. However, if you have any questions about the meal replacement products in the Noah’s Natural Foods online store, please contact us today!

Why use powders over capsules?

by @ Custom Probiotics Canada: Latest News

Wed Dec 31 11:00:00 PST 2014

Powders allow you to vary your dosage very easily. You can take as little or much as you personally require this way. For example, some of our clients use a baby scoop of powder a day which is about 30 – 40 billion CFU. Others take up to 4 adult scoops a day, that’s about 1.2 Trillion CFU a day! That would be about 15 capsules!

So if you want to take a high amount of CFU, we would suggest trying the powders. They also cost less per CFU compared to the capsules.

Below is one of our popular powders we recommend starting with.
