Everything you have ever experienced, felt, or conducted in life is due to brain function…. It is impossible for a person to become healthy mentally or physiologically without a healthy brain. – Datis Kharrazin DHSc, DC, MS, MNeuroSci

After kicking off the new year with the month of the gut, A.K.A the second brain, we thought we’d move north and check out the most powerful computing system there is; The Human Brain.

Even though there is a known common distinction between mind and body, I view things a little differently. We already know that having a healthy heart or liver is a direct result of the foods we eat, and the lifestyle choices we make, so why would the brain be any different? After all it’s all housed under the same roof, and that to me simply means it’s still part of the same thing.

Then the burning questions for me are: Continue reading →

Finding natural and healthy low carb protein snacks can be difficult! Eating well is one of the biggest challenges a person can undertake. In fact, and this says a lot about how hard it is to eat well, most people can get themselves to exercise regularly with greater ease than making themselves eat well. Why is it easier to exercise than to eat well? Going to the gym, taking a walk or run outdoors or playing a cardiovascular sport are all finite activities that have a clear beginning and a clear end. If a person is not exercising, he or she can be sitting.

Eating well, enjoying a low carbohydrate diet, high in vitamins, minerals, good fats and protein is an infinite goal. A person cannot eat well for breakfast and reward him or herself with a chocolate shake for snack. However, with a little help and some insider information anyone can move toward healthy food choices while stimulating the sweet tooth and satiating a growling stomach.

With 180 Nutrition, people who want to eat well have endless options. They can order the 180 original formula and use it as a meal supplement, mixing a delicious, sweet tooth slaying, nutritious, belly grumble-stopping shake, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Add 180 Nutrition to a bowl of granola in the morning for a more filling, and nutritionally whole meal. Sprinkle it on lunch, or mix it in with a potato salad and enjoy the flavor expected, not a healthy grainy flavor that is so common with other health products.

The secret of 180 nutrition is the use of all standard, found in nature, not chemically engineered products. When cooking, a person can add a tablespoon of the original formula to a recipe and not alter the flavor of his or her favorite food while packing it with otherwise hard to get nutrients. For anyone who has ever wondered why the mid-day craving comes on, the answer is simple: lack of nutrition triggers the brain to beg for sugar, because the brain lives on sugar and without it, the mind becomes dull.

Feed the brain healthy carbohydrates instead of processed sugar, and the time release of the natural carb will last long enough to fend off the snack cravings that sink most people’s diets everyday. And for those people out there who want a healthy afternoon snack, a great, low carb protein snack is available. The 180 Nutrition Protein Bars make a great snack for the middle of a workday and they are prefect for a bite after working out. The trick being, people who want to eat well need to fill their diet with nutrients that provide stable energy, long lasting appetite satisfaction and real flavors that stimulate the tongue. With 180 Nutrition, such a diet is a reality.

Say Hi To Our New Ingredients

Let’s face it – the majority of snack/sports bars available today suffer from the same problems as their powdered counterparts – low grade ingredients, artificial additives, preservatives and a list of chemicals that you need a PhD to understand.

If you know 180 already, you will soon realise that two of our new ingredients are already present in the Original 180 Formula. (If you don’t you can check the ingredients here)

180 Nutrition are not on a mission to add as many different ingredients as possible to our products. Good nutrition is quite simple and you know us – we believe that nature can provide all the nutrition your body needs.

This is what we added to the Original 180 Formula  to build the 180 Bar:

• 

  Almond Paste

  Long been declared as a ‘Super Food’, almonds are an incredible source vitamin B6, riboflavin, dietary fibre, and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and zinc.

• 

  Tahini Paste

  Made from ground sesame seeds and contains virtually zero measurable trans-fat or cholesterol, tahini is a great high source of vitamin A, magnesium, folate and calcium, and is especially abundant in phosphorus and potassium.

• 

  Organic Rice Malt

  A natural binding ingredient where the low GI carbohydrate from the brown rice releases energy over a longer period of time. Contains no fat or cholesterol of any type and is 100% fructose free.

Common Ingredients That We Will Not Use

The typical snack/museli bar will contain many of these ingredients: emulsifiers (soya lecithin 476), polydextrose, glycerine, maltitol, maize starch, maltodextrin, sucralose, humectant (glycerol), vegetable oil, glycerine, gluten, hydrolysed collagen, salt, flavourings, colouring… 

We are incredibly excited to launch the 180 Bar. It’s another step in turning an industry built on chemicals and empty promises upside down.
