Healthy Chocolate Mayesa and Athletes – Glenn MatanzaMarch 26, 2014
Glenn was born in the Philippines and moved to San Diego when he was in high school. He later attended San Diego State University with aspirations to go to medical school. Glenn’s interest in fitness and exercise lead him to start working with individuals providing fitness training. It was also during this time that Glenn started to realize that a medical career would be focused mainly on illness which did not really fit his focus on prevention and helping individuals stay healthy. Realizing this Glenn decided to officially start his coaching business in 1998, working with clients of all ages. Glenn’s business has evolved with time and even included a period around 2004 when he competed in fitness and body building competitions. In 2004 Glenn met his future wife, Nike, a successful equestrian in Europe and aspiring fashion model. They married and had their first son in 2006. They now have 2 sons and enjoy setting good examples for their sons with nutrition and exercise. In 2007 Glenn’s coaching began to focus more on endurance sports, especially triathletes, with emphasis on nutrition education, preventing injuries, and creating good health markers. Nike Matanza began competing in triathlons and before long was in the elite category. She joined Glenn and began coaching in 2008. Glenn was introduced to Mayesa by one of his clients and her son. He was training both of them. Glenn evaluated Mayesa and really liked the purity of the ingredients, especially the organic, fair trade cacao and plant-based protein. Glenn also likes that the beverage is allergen free containing NO dairy, soy or gluten, thus avoiding the side effects of these allergens.
When clients crave a “treat” Mayesa is an excellent choice according to Glenn. Glenn’s passion for helping all his clients understand the importance of nutrition and right food choices to live a healthier life is inspiration to us all. Thanks Glenn for including Mayesa as one of the food choices you recommend. No matter what your daily performance includes (exercise, work, school) you want it to be optimal, and the best way to do that is proper nutrition choices with products like Mayesa. Life is better with chocolate! For further information about Glenn’s coaching please visit www.glennmatanza.com or www.facebook.com/glenn.matanza.

It’s easy to enjoy foods in a healthy way, especially with Mayesa – a delicious healthy-chocolate drink that is chocked full of good nutrition. Being aware of good nutrition is important because it is about how we nourish our bodies. Our bodies require healthy food to create and repair cells. The science of nutrition also focuses on how diseases, conditions, and problems can be prevented or lessened with a healthy diet. Here are five ways to celebrate National Nutrition Month: 1. Make a Plan If you create a weekly menu plan and coordinate it with your shopping list you will eat healthier, waste less food and time, and there’s less stress at dinner time. You will find that a plan minimizes the last-minute dinner scramble, and helps you stick to healthier foods. 2. Fit in Those Fruits and Vegetables It’s often easier to buy fruits and vegetables than it is to actually use up them before they become shriveled and brown. Here are some suggestions on how to make sure you eat those fruits and vegetables: (a) toss a variety of vegetables in olive oil, roast and then refrigerate, allowing you to have ready-made side dishes, snacks, or a meatless entree; (b) keep apples and oranges in the car for an after-gym snack, or when you get the munchies (you don’t want your car to automatically turn into that fast-food place); and (c) cut up salad fixings and keep prepared in the refrigerator, then just spoon out and serve. Keeping Mayesa in the car is another sure way of sticking to a healthy snack when you’re on the go. 3. Eat More Earlier, Less Later The more of your daily calories you eat earlier in the day the better. Instead of a light breakfast, or even no breakfast at all, and a heavy dinner in the evening, have a hearty breakfast and a good lunch, both of which will keep you fueled through the day. A light supper will keep you from sleeping on a load of calories. If you are rushed for breakfast, Mayesa is a good way to start your day, then have a hearty lunch. 4. De-stress Dinner Don’t give in to the frantic question “What’s for dinner?” every night. That just begs for a quick answer – which might be easy but often not healthy. Instead, try these tricks: (a) keep a menu plan; (b) organize dinner ingredients before you leave for work; (c) freeze homemade soups, homemade pasta dishes, etc., ahead of time, then take out and defrost while you’re at work. Having salad ingredients already chopped and mixed and ready to go is another big help. 5. Earn your calories In addition to planning meals, cooking with healthy ingredients, and practicing portion control, a healthy lifestyle includes physical activity. Keeping physically active assists your body in properly utilizing all of that good nutrition. There are many options to keeping physically fit, including: walking, running, going to a gym, playing a team sports, and using fitness apps or videos. You can also burn calories by taking stairs and parking farther from your destinations. Good nutrition can: give you vitality and energy, boost your immune system, help beat tiredness and fatigue, and ward off serious illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes. Celebrate National Nutrition Month – for your life!
