Organic ingredients

At Mom’s Healthy Secrets, we don’t believe in adding chemicals to foods nature has already perfected. Made with organic whole grains, such as barley flakes, rolled oats and multigrain squares, our Vibraberry cereal is pure and packed with natural vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that provide the foundation to a healthy mind and body. Sweetened with delicious, organic goji berries and organic cane sugar, Vibraberry offers a flavorful, nutritious meal, free from potentially dangerous additives.

Nutrient-rich, whole grains

Many cereals process whole grain ingredients until they’ve completely stripped away much of the natural nutrients. Once the foods are processed, manufacturers “put back” nutrients by fortifying the cereal with vitamin additives. All-natural foods, such as Mom’s Healthy Secrets OmegaActive cereal contain whole grains complete with natural nutrients unspoiled by over-processing. Made with organic bran flakes, multigrain squares, organic pumpkin seeds, organic flax seeds, organic strawberries and organic honey, this delicious, energy-dense breakfast food is about as close to homemade cereal as you can get.

Lowering cholesterol levels

Soluble fiber found in oats, beans and flaxseed might help lower blood cholesterol levels by reducing low-density lipoprotein. Several studies indicate that a high-fiber diet can also reduce inflammation and blood pressure, which promotes better heart health.

Controlling blood sugar

Fiber can also slow the rate of sugar absorption, which can help reduce the risk of developing Type-2 diabetes. High fiber diets also help provide a steady stream of energy and prevent sugar crashes that can make you feel tired and run-down at different points throughout the day.

Aiding weight loss

Because fiber-rich foods take longer to digest, they can make you feel fuller and less hungry throughout the day. Fiber-rich food is also less energy dense, which means it typically has fewer calories per serving.

Getting practical

Most fruits and vegetables are high in fiber; however, many people are too busy to consume the required amount to meet their daily fiber needs. A high-fiber cereal like our signature cereal FibreFit, can prove ideal for those interested in improving their health, boosting their energy levels and trimming their waste lines. If you don’t have the time or money to consume multiple servings of vegetables and fruits on a regular basis, Mom’s Healthy Secrets cereal can provide a convenient, tasty way for you to get the fiber you need on a daily basis.

Mom’s PB Power

Easy to make and store, these portable breakfast treats have the power to energize your morning and sustain you for those critical first few hours of the day.

Recipe

Empty one container of all-natural peanut butter into a large mixing bowl; stir well to promote an even texture.

Sweeten by adding approximately four tablespoons of honey.

Slowly pour 320 grams of Mom’s Healthy Secrets Tropical Fruit or Raisin cereal into the mixture; stir well.

Place the breakfast snacks in the refrigerator and wait for them to harden.

Enjoy your tasty; nutritious treats while you’re at home or on the go!

Antioxidant rich

Numerous scientific studies have suggested that antioxidant-rich foods may help prevent certain types of diseases from developing. Several other studies indicate that antioxidants have protective powers that prevent premature aging. Mom’s Healthy Secrets cereals contain several organic antioxidant-rich ingredients, such as raisins, goji berries, strawberries, bananas and pumpkin seeds.

Whole grain ingredients

Unlike ordinary cereals that contain refined grains, Mom’s Healthy Secrets cereals are made from whole grain ingredients. Because refined cereals only contain a grain’s endosperm, they lack the same types of minerals, vitamins and healthy fatty acids found in whole grain healthy cereals, which contain the grain’s endosperm and the nutrient-dense germ and bran.

Packed with fiber

Most medical experts believe that high fiber-diets help ward off certain types of diseases, and fiber has been proven to promote weight loss by reducing hunger. Unfortunately, most people don’t look forward to waking up to a plate full of broccoli, spinach or cauliflower. For a delicious, energy-boosting breakfast, fill your bowl with one of Mom’s Healthy Secrets fiber-rich cereals instead.

The importance of a breakfast

According to experts at the Mayo Clinic, those who eat healthy breakfast meals are more likely to get have better productivity and concentration, and enjoy lower cholesterol levels and trimmer waistlines. The first meal of the day is especially critical for children. The American Dietetic Association reports that kids who eat a healthy breakfast each day are more likely to concentrate better, demonstrate good problem-solving skills, have good hand-eye coordination and show good creativity. Studies have also shown that children, who practice good breakfast habits tend to be more active, alert and miss fewer school days than those who eat less-nutritious morning meals or skip breakfast entirely.

What makes a breakfast healthy?

Healthy breakfast meals contain fiber, nutritious whole-grains and anti-oxidant-rich fruits. Most people are too busy to prepare large morning meals for their families on a regular basis. Fortunately, if you’re interested in providing your family with better morning nutrition, you can accomplish your goal by serving them one of Mom’s Healthy Secrets whole-grain cereals. Packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, our delicious cereals offer a convenient way for you to jump-start each day.

Potential Benefits

When appropriately made, granola provides a host of health benefits. Because it contains fiber-rich rolled oats, granola aids digestion, regulates blood-sugar levels, and may help ward off certain diseases, such as diabetes and colon cancer. The nuts and dried fruits in granola provide crucial vitamins and beneficial antioxidants that may reduce the signs of aging and prevent certain types of illnesses.

Misconceptions

Unfortunately, all forms of granola aren’t completely healthy. Referred to by some as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, overly processed granola often contains added sugars and oils that make it high in calories and saturated fat.

Healthy granola

When choosing a nutritious granola, it’s best to opt for one with the least amount of artificial additives. Because, Mom’s Healthy Secret’s cereals contains nutritious, organic rolled oats, crunchy nuts and flavorful dried fruits and berries, it’s the perfect replacement for the over-processed granola you see on grocery store shelves. Instead of loading your yogurt or cereal bowl with high-calorie granola, rich in unhealthy saturated fats; add a cup-full of one of Mom’s delicious, nutritious cereals instead.

What is celiac disease?

Celiac disease is a serious condition, where the body reacts to the gluten protein found in rye, wheat and barley. When people with celiac disease eat gluten, an immune reaction occurs that can ultimately cause severe damage to the intestines and lead to diarrhea, abdominal pain and weight loss. Because important nutrients are also not absorbed, sufferers often experience deficiencies that can lead to osteoporosis, anemia, joint pain, skin rashes, infertility and even some types of cancer.

How is celiac disease treated?

Physicians diagnose celiac disease using blood tests and/or biopsies. If a patient is positively diagnosed, he or she must avoid eating anything containing gluten.

What is a gluten free diet?

Because gluten is found in grains, such as rye, wheat and barley, it can be difficult for celiac sufferers to adjust to the limitations of a gluten-free diet. Though patients can still eat corn, gluten-free flour, rice, fresh vegetables and fruits; they must steer clear of any processed food product that doesn’t have a gluten-free label. For many who must follow these strict dietary guidelines, gluten-free cereal represents a tasty way to meet their nutritional needs on a regular basis.

What if I don’t have celiac disease?

Recent studies have indicated that even those without celiac disease may benefit from limiting their gluten intake. Because even those who’ve tested negative for celiac can still have sensitivity to gluten, many find themselves feeling better when they eat foods that are gluten-free. Others have found that they sleep better, have fewer migraines and less stomach irritation when they limit their gluten intake.

What are they?

Functional foods are natural components or health-promoting ingredients found in fortified, conventional, enhanced or enriched foods. Scientific research suggests that regular consumption of these beneficial foods as part of a balanced diet can reduce the signs of aging and prevent certain types of diseases from getting a foothold in our bodies. There are hundreds of different types of these foods, and each may offer specific benefits. Among the hundreds include:

- Bran – Not only does bran offer a host of nutrients that promote good health, it’s rich in fiber. Studies suggest that high-fiber diets help reduce the risk of certain diseases, including colon cancer. Because fiber takes longer to digest, it also helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels.

- Raisins – Research studies indicate that antioxidants found in grapes help to lower the risk of heart disease. The same benefits are found when grapes are dried into raisins. Not only do these tasty treats pack a powerful nutritious punch; they’re easier to carry when you’re on the go and stay fresh much longer than ordinary grapes.

- Seeds – Recent findings suggest that pumpkin and flax seeds can play a big role in preventing premature ageing and protecting the body from certain types of disease.
