When I see commercials for Meta Health Fiber Bars I
cringe. If you believe the hype,
Meta Health Fiber Bars are “the
delicious and nutritious way to boost your daily fiber intake while you go
about your busy day.” But the reality is that the nutrition label on a Meta
Cranberry Lemon Drizzle Health Bar reads like a candy bar: corn syrup, invert sugar, sugar, honey,
corn syrup solids, cranberries with added sugar and white coating with again
more sugar. The American Heart Association
recommends limiting the amount of added sugar a woman consumes to no more than
half of her daily discretionary dietary calories allowance. That’s about 100 calories of sugar per
day – 25 grams or 6 teaspoons. How could a Meta Health Bar be nutritious when
it contains 12 g of sugar? Don’t reach for the Meta Health Fiber Bars . . . in my opinion they contain way too much added sugar to be a healthy snack. If you are looking for that magic pill
to stay regular or that super food that will insure you live longer and loss
weight I’m afraid that I am going to disappoint you. It’s not salmon, or Goji berries or green tea pills and it
certainly isn’t Meta Health Fiber Bars.
Yes, Meta Health Fiber Bars contain psyllium fiber, which can help
relieve constipation. Unfortunately Procter & Gamble has chosen to wrap
that fiber up in a sweet little package of processed sugar.
Today woman are embracing 50 shades of gray.
No . . . not what you’re thinking. I’m talking about shades of gray
hair. In the past gray hair was a privilege
of the elderly but now it’s trending.
Some young female celebrities are even dying their hair gray to get the hot
new look. Beauty expert Bobbi
Brown is saying yes to gray and offering woman tips on how to tweak their makeup to make you and your gray hair look your beautiful, healthy best. I plan to pay to be a brunette for a little bit longer. But, if you are tired of battling the
gray it’s nice to know that you can feel good about rocking gray hair.
Make the time to be
good to you and take a walk in the rain.
It’s a great way to reconnect with Mother Nature and wash away the gloom
of winter.
Good Health!
