 Comments Off on Dark Chocolate and Healthy Living!5 Ways to Celebrate National Nutrition MonthDecember 17, 2014
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!

Mayesa Chocolate Drinks – A Good Source of Vitamin DDecember 31, 2013
Why is that important? Globally over a billion people are Vitamin D deficient and 77% of American adults have insufficient levels of Vitamin D. What is Vitamin D Vitamin D is more commonly known as the “sunshine vitamin.” It is actually a fat-soluble hormone that the body can synthesize naturally from the sun when your skin is exposed to UVB rays. Why is vitamin D necessary? Vitamin D assists in the absorption of calcium and promotes bone mineralization. It also helps to strengthen the immune system and protect against a number of serious diseases, including rickets. Recent research even suggests that Vitamin D may also provide protection from hypertension, psoriasis, and several autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, growing evidence has demonstrated an important role in the body’s defense against cancer. Studies link a deficiency of Vitamin D to as many as 18 different types of cancers. What are the signs of Vitamin D deficiency? Deficiencies of Vitamin D are common, especially in countries in northern latitudes, where sun exposure is typically lower. Studies indicate that another cause of low levels of Vitamin D is the prevalent use of sun screens that block UV rays. Vitamin D deficiency is indicated by porous bones, weak muscles and easy fracturing. However, as mentioned above, a deficiency can also cause other problems in the body that are not as easily diagnosed as a Vitamin D deficiency. How do you get enough vitamin D from foods? Good dietary sources include fortified foods, eggs, salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines. Since sunlight causes our bodies to make vitamin D, daily exposure is helpful. However, you’ll need to check with your doctor on how much exposure to the sun without sunscreen he or she recommends. Health care providers are becoming more aware of the role Vitamin D has to our over-all health. The next time you see your physician be sure to discuss Vitamin D and its links to health risks. You’ll want to know his or her suggestions on Vitamin D-rich foods, supplements, and foods fortified with Vitamin D. Getting Vitamin D is one of the many benefits of Mayesa, a healthy chocolate drink.
