Salba IS beauty food!

You cannot ignore the fact that pretty much every single media outlet in North America will feature at least one article on how food affects our health, skin and how well we age every month.
Last month, I summarized a recent Oprah special where she and Dr. Oz highlighted foods that were essential to aging-well: Dr. Oz and Oprah’s anti-aging check list!. It’s no secret that you cannot have beautiful skin if you eat poor quality foods.
The reason why media outlets keep repeating the same message is because most people don’t adhere to it. I personally believe that people don’t purposely avoid eating well or taking better care of themselves. I think in many cases most people don’t know where to start and I also believe that most people might find the whole thing too complicated.
If there was an easy to follow solution, I believe most people would feel compelled to make the necessary changes to their diets.
That’s where Salba® comes in. Essentially, Salba is a grain grown in some of the most nutrient-rich soils in the world … the land surrounding the Amazon Basin in Peru. Since most of the soils in North America are depleted of many of the nutrients they once had, the foods we eat today are not comparable to the foods our parents and grandparents ate. Salba is packed with pretty much all the vitamins and minerals your body and skin need and it’s a no-brainer to use.
One serving of this super-grain contains the following benefits:
* A near perfect balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6
* Eight times more Omega 3 fatty acids than salmon
* 1.1 times more fibre than the most popular bran cereal
* Seven times more vitamin C than an orange
* Six times more calcium than milk
* Fifteen times more magnesium than broccoli
* Three times more iron than spinach
* Twice as much potassium than a banana
* Fifty per cent more folate than asparagus
* 2.5 times more vegetable protein than kidney beans
Salba could not have made beauty food any easier … talk about beauty food for dummies. You simply have to add a couple spoonfuls of Salba grains in your yogurt, over your cereals, in your smoothie, or on your salad and you get the benefits of all the foods listed above.
You’ll also find Salba grains in some of Salba’s products. I’ve tasted their flat bread (they are soooooo good), Krispy Rice (healthy version of Rice Crispies) and chewy bars and I’ve got to tell you that I’m a convert. I really like their products and it’s pretty cool to know that not only do they taste amazing, they are healthy and are providing my body and my skin with essential nutrients.
Just like everything under the Salba brands, these foods are easy, fast and simple … they are basically functional fast foods that add to your health as opposed to depleting your body from important nutrients.
