Enjoy Your Summer

Summer, what an exciting fun time. For kids, it is usually their favourite time of year. Children spend their days outside with friends and usually receive more time with mom and dad. We encourage you to get outside, be active, and get some vitamin D. There is growing evidence that we need to get some sunshine and not completely block ourselves from the sun, most of us are vitamin D deficient.

So have a wonderful summer!

Trans Fats

TRANS FATS
There is increased awareness about the problems with trans fats, unfortunately the companies containing this unhealthy substance are not moving very fast to make the changes to eliminate the ingredient. There is a great article in newstarget that speaks specifically about the dangers of hydrogenated oils.

Here are some other harmful ingredients to stay away from:

Sodium nitrite (meats)
Monosodium glutamate (soups)
Aspartame (diet soda)
Yeast extract (snacks)
Hydrogenated oils

On the Go...

If you are anything like me, as a mother, I find it hard to get my three meals in my day. My priority tends to be the little one and I eat when I have the time.

So besides trying to quickly grab some fruit and veggies to snack on, there is now another nutritious, natural healthy choice; Oh Mama Bar. This is a vitamin bar that is built for us moms on the go, to help ensure we get the vitamins we need and is also a natural healthy choice bar.
