The Well Power

Another step completed to support the vision of La Sagesse Brasilia in promoting health; we presented a comprehensive assessment and plan to make food available at school healthy and nutritious.

We spent an amazing time this week with the students of .edu.lb They were so excited and engaged in learning about healthy eating and the dangers of excess sugar consumption. We are so proud to support the parents’ committee and the administration of la Sagesse in their vision of promoting health. @ Collège De La Sagesse - St. Jean - Brasilia

👋Hello! We are back and so excited about our new project. Bringing health and wellness education to a new school! What a great opportunity to support and advice College De La Sagesse Brasilia to offer healthier food choices for their students✅

To juice or to blend? Which is better ?🤔
Well, it depends on your goal!
📌Looking for a boost of energy, a quick nutrient dense shot or a way to dramatically increase your veggies and fruit intake?➡️Then cold pressed juices is the way to go!!!
📌Looking for a sustainable meal that keeps you full, a great way to sneak your veggies to your breakfast or snack or increasing your fiber intake?➡️Then smoothies are it!
⚠️Watch out for high fruits and sugar content in most juices and smoothies.
This will lead to a rapid spike in blood sugar followed by a crash ➡️ loss of energy, mood swings, cravings...
🎯Aim for 25% fruits to 75% vegetables in your drink!!

A great food combo! Pomegranate and soaked almonds.
Almonds are great, rich in omega 3, proteins and fibers, they help us feel full for long and regulate our blood sugar levels.
Soaked almonds have even greater health benefits compared to regular almonds:
✅The peel has enzymes inhibitors that makes digestion harder and reduces the absorption of iron and zinc, once soaked the peel comes off and this allows for a better absorption of nutrients.
✅Soaked almond have higher levels of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation and slows the aging process of our cells.
