Nuts and seeds are one of the best plant sources of protein. They are rich in fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin E and selenium. Nuts and seeds are also high in plant sterols and fat - but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 - the good fats).
A diet rich in Omega 3 helps cell membranes to function properly. Other health issues such as cancer, heart disease, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, diabetes, and ADD/ADHD can be positively affected by consuming Omega 3 fats.
These bars are loaded with Omega 3 and all the other ingredients for a healthy lifestyle.
