Omega Smart Bar Ingredients

Nutrition Bars Made from Natural Ingredients

Healthy Organic IngredientsFigs:

Figs are a wonderful digestive aid- rich in the enzyme ficin. They also help to cleanse and soothe the intestines and maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Figs even contain omega3 fatty acids, which are associated with healthy heart and brain function, as well as lutein and beta-carotene which aids vision. Figs are a great source of potassium,(which helps with blood pressure) Nutritionists recommend figs for helping to lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure. Figs also contain vitamin B6, which is responsible for producing mood-boosting serotonin, lowering cholesterol and preventing water retention.

Adequate vitamin B6 plays an important role in regulating mental processes and mood. Vitamin B6 is also important in maintaining healthy hair and skin.

As a concentrated source of minerals they will enrich the blood, and help protect your body from oxidation by increasing plasma (blood) antioxidant capacity. Dried figs have a higher amount of the antioxidant polyphenol (ranging from 4 to 50 times higher). Antioxidants fight free radicals. which cause cellular damage. Reducing cellular damage means stronger nails, healthier skin, and shinier hair. They are a great source of fiber (containing both soluble and insoluble forms), flavanoids, and a strong anti-cancer agent known as benzaldehyde.

Agave:

Low glycemic sweetener naturally derived from a cactus plant. Will not spike blood sugar levels.

Flax Seeds:

Omega 3's are needed by every cell in the body, yet most people are deficient, contributing to many forms of illness and degeneration! The benefits of flax seeds are truly amazing, here are just a few! The lignans in flax seeds benefit renal (kidney) function. Phytoestrogens have structural similarity to estrogen- great for menopause!

Tones the stomach and intestines, (mucilaginous). Benefits any digestive disturbance.
Help strengthen immune system and keep arteries clear.
Contain antibacterial, antiviral, and anti fungal properties. Increase fat burning in the body.
Improve bone strength, connective tissue health, and the condition of hair, skin, & nails.
Contribute to brain function and the ability to learn and concentrate. Decrease inflammation.
Speed wound and injury healing.
Promote balanced hormone function, contributing to better sleep, mood, and energy levels.

Nuts:

Known in nutritional circles as the King of the Nuts! Almonds are alkaline, with a high mineral content (containing as much calcium as milk, high in magnesium, too). They pack 1/3 more protein than eggs and are rich in vitamin E. With manganese and copper- essential cofactors for SOD, they contribute to the production of an enzyme that inhibits free radicals in cells.

Walnuts are rich in Omega 3's, and have been shown to help maintain heart health. No surprise that they look like "little brains," as they have been shown to contribute to brain functioning. Most recently, these mighty powerhouses have been linked to lower total cholesterol levels- and, more importantly, reduced LDL (or "bad" cholesterol) levels.

Dark Chocolate:

Does chocolate have health benefits? Absolutely, and some pretty great ones- just go for the dark stuff! Ounce for ounce, cacao actually contains more polyphenols (antioxidants) than red wine and most fruits and vegetables. It is a wonderful source of magnesium, and even the fat found naturally in the chocolate bean is of the healthy monounsaturated variety. The high levels of phenols counter the plaque that clogs arteries, and dark chocolate has even been shown to help maintain blood pressure. The theobromine in chocolate relaxes the smooth muscle of the digestive tract (soothing an upset stomach), and is a natural mood lifter. It can even help to boost serotonin levels- a neurotransmitter that instills calm and relaxed feelings.

Coconut:

Unfortunately, for many years coconuts were a casualty of some very flawed studies back in the 70's, considered ancient by today's nutritional professionals! Fortunately, the public is now beginning to also become aware of the many virtues of this extremely healthful food.

Composed of MCT's (medium chain triglycerides), coconut is easily broken down and utilized by the body as immediate fuel- not stored as fat in body.
It helps to increase metabolism
Supports weight loss
Promotes thyroid function
It is a natural antibacterial and antifungal, reducing the risk of infection. The caprillic acid in coconuts destroys pathogens (fungi & yeasts in body) as well as bacteria harbored in the mouth and gums.
As if this weren't enough, Coconut also improves digestion and is a delicious way to help maintain the healthy appearance of skin, hair, & nails.

It is important to know that coconut cream does not contain cream! Rather, it is "creamed" coconut, referring to its preparation- just finely mashed, fresh, raw coconut- with all of its natural fiber and protein intact. Its another, wonderful example of an amazing Whole Food!

Fermented Soy:

Another "controversial" food- and its a no wonder, thanks to conflicting and sometimes alarming information. Fermented Soy (not the overly processed soy found in fast foods) has been used for centuries as part of healthful diets, but, again, we are guilty of over processing (creating isolates, textured proteins, and a virtual flood of concentrated products) and then consuming those processed items with a "more is better" mentality.

For some people, the proteins found in soy are an allergen or may just be difficult to break down, leading to some gastrointestinal distress like bloating. Omega Smart uses only fermented soy ( never any isolates or flavor enhancers), which means (like miso and tempeh), its proteins are predigested, and therefore often well tolerated by those with gastrointestinal disorders. The big scare about phytoestrogens in soy is just that- a big scare, again, based upon very high doses of isolated and concentrated single components of what was once a natural whole food. Soy has been show to be beneficial (due to its phytoestrogen content) to many conditions from menopause to prostate cancer.

More on Fermented Soy

The Health Benefits of Fermented Soy

FERMENTED SOY - our fermented soy is comprised of cooked organic soy bean that is fermented (predigested) by the best of the probiotic bacteria: L .acidophilus, L . bulgaricus, L . casei, L . plantarum and S. thermophilus. Beneficial bacteria used in fermentation yield healthy cell wall contents and metabolites that promote optimal immune function and intestinal health.

The fermentation of soy improves the digestibility of the soy protein. Isoflavone bioavailability is enhanced by the bacteria in the small intestine due to its conversion to more absorbable forms.

In traditional Asian fermented soy foods, the fermentation process converts glycone forms of isoflavones into the aglycone form. Research has shown that Oriental women, who consume much more of these fermented soy isoflavones than other populations, have a greatly reduced instance of breast cancer than their Western counterparts. Thus, there is great interest in the function of fermented soybeans in preventing cancer, not only of the breast, but also cancers of the prostate, colon, lung, skin, and blood. Intake of soy isoflavones has also been found to be supportive of bone health by inhibiting the loss of minerals.

Our Soy isoflavones are 98% aglycone form due to the special fermentation process used to convert our soy. This means that nearly 100% of the available isoflavones, and their health benefits, are available for absorption into the human body.

Details on Cherry

HEALTHY AGING FORMULA

Our unique blend of berries helps promote a healthy inflammatory response

Cherries along with many other berries are a rich source of antioxidants. They help prevent or repair the damage that is done to the body's cells by free radicals. This means that antioxidants replace free radicals in your body before they can cause any damage.

Tart cherries are one of today’s red hot “Super Fruits.” A growing body of science reveals tart cherries, have among the highest levels of disease-fighting antioxidants, when compared to other fruits. They also contain other important nutrients such as beta carotene (19 times as much as blueberries or strawberries) vitamins C, potassium, magnesium, iron, fiber and folate.

Emerging evidence links cherries to many important health benefits – from helping to ease the pain of arthritis and gout, to reducing risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Cherries also have been found to help regulate the body’s natural sleep patterns, aid with jet lag, prevent memory loss and delay the aging process.

A recent study from the University of Michigan reveals new evidence linking cherries to heart health benefits. The study found that a cherry-enriched diet lowered total weight, body fat(especially the important “belly” fat), inflammation and cholesterol, risk factors associated with heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, being overweight or obese, in particular when the weight is concentrated in the middle, is a major risk factor for heart disease. As nearly two out of three Americans are overweight, emerging studies like this are important in examining the role diet may play in disease management and prevention.

Details on Almond Macaroon

Almond Macaroon formulated with ingredients known to alkalize and mineralize your body.

Whole food ingredients you need to help increase metabolic rate, burn excess fat, promote collagen formation, fortify hair, skin & nails;

Almonds ; are loaded with protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin E and other antioxidants and phytochemicals.

Here are some of the health benefits associated with Almonds:

Heart-Health: Almonds contain several phytochemicals including beta-sisterol stigmasterol and campesterol which is thought to contribute to a healthy heart. A handful of almonds a day helps reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering LDL, or ‘bad’ blood cholesterol by as much as ten percent. Their high monounsaturated fat content, a key fat found in many Mediterranean diets, gives them much greater benefits than simply being cholesterol-lowering. Nearly every research study shows those who eat a traditional Mediterranean diet not only have a lower risk of heart disease and cancer, they also live longer.

Healthy Weight Loss: For many years almonds were considered ‘fattening’. However, studies, including the Nurses’ Health Study and the Physicians’ Follow-up Study showed those who ate the most nuts tended to have lower body mass indexes. One study comparing two groups of dieters eating the same amount of calories found the group eating 500 of their calories from almonds lost more weight.

High Protein Source: As almonds are high in protein, around 18 percent, they are ideal for diabetics or anyone with blood sugar issues.

Anti-inflammatory and Anti-spasmodic: Almonds are considered anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, they are also known as brain and bone food, probably due to their high calcium content. They help with alkalinizing the blood and relieve stagnation in the liver.

Mineral Whey: Mineral whey is easily digested and well tolerated, even by those that can't digest cow milk. (Goat-milk molecules are much closer to those found in human milk!)
It is low-allergen, alkalizing, and supplies electrolytes and minerals.
Whey is extremely helpful for the health and integrity of joints, skin, hair, nails
It boosts and strengthens the immune system and soothes and heals the gastrointestinal tract.

Coconut: Unfortunately, for many years coconuts were a casualty of some very flawed studies back in the 70's, considered ancient by today's nutritional professionals! Fortunately, the public is now beginning to also become aware of the many virtues of this extremely healthful food. Composed of MCT's (medium chain triglycerides), coconut is easily broken down and utilized by the body as immediate fuel-not stored as fat in body. It helps to increase metabolism, supports weight loss and promotes thyroid function.

It is a natural antibacterial and antifungal, reducing the risk of infection, the caprillic acid in coconuts destroys pathogens (fungi & yeasts in the body) as well as bacteria harbored in the mouth and gums.

Alfalfa: is the most studied plant in the world: It has every known vitamin, nutrient, mineral and trace element the human body needs. Calcium, vitamin K, iron etc.
It has more protein than beef, milk and eggs along with sixteen amino acids
More vitamin C than citrus juice
It even has natural Phytoestrogens that can help eliminate menopause symptoms in women.
An immune-system stimulant
Promotes normal blood clotting
Aids in the assimiliation of protein, fats, and carbohydtates
Excellent blood purifier
Helps to prevent Arteriosclerosis
Alkalizing to the body

Healthy Aging: The Power Of Blue
The Wild Blueberry’s role in disease prevention, brain and heart health. Potent antioxidants are highly concentrated in the deep-blue pigments of Wild Blueberries. Scientists around the world are studying the ways in which the Power of BlueTM may help combat disease and promote healthy aging. The many potential health benefits of Wild Blueberries include:

Anti-Aging
Dr. James Joseph, Ph. D., from the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging has been studying the anti-inflammatory potential of the polyphenols in blueberries, since chronic inflammation at the cellular level is at the heart of many degenerative age-related diseases. When rats with neuronal lesions were fed a blueberry-supplemented diet, not only did they perform better in cognitive tests, the concentration of several substances in the brain that can trigger an inflammatory response was significantly reduced. The polyphenols in blueberries appear to inhibit the production of these inflammatory mediators.
Nutritional Neuroscience, 2008, Aug; 11(4): 172-82

Brain Health: Ongoing brain research shows that blueberries may improve motor skills and actually reverse the short-term memory loss that comes with aging, making blueberries a natural “brain food.”

Cancer Prevention: Research shows that blueberry compounds may inhibit all stages of cancer.

Heart Health: Research indicates that blueberries may protect against heart disease and damage from stroke.

Urinary Tract Health: Like cranberries, blueberries may help prevent urinary tract infections.

Vision Health: Research around the world has indicated that blueberries may improve night vision and prevent tired eyes.
