Lisa Collier Cool, a bestselling author and winner of 18 journalism awards, recently wrote an article on the rise of celiac disease.  Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten.  Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and other everyday products, including some brands of lipstick!

Cool hypothesizes that the rise of celiac disease is caused by today’s grain-based foods having more gluten than they did in the past.  She also worries that today’s children are exposed to heavier gluten products at a young age.  The rise of celiac disease has prompted an increased demand for gluten

Here are 10 tips from the Organic Authority for a healthier lifestyle!!

1. Avoid foods that are neon in color, unless they are naturally that color. Food colorings have always been in question of how they affect your body, but recent studies have shown that they have a negative impact on the body and brain, especially in children.

2. Always drink water with your meals. Water as your main beverage is great for your health and digestion, and everything else should be a special treat. Also, especially with children.

3. Go Brown! Brown sugar, brown breads, brown rice and brown flour is less refined and better for your body.

4. Add green tea into your every day routine. Instead of reaching for another snack or soda between meals, enjoy a healthy, antioxidant-rich cup of green tea. Avoid adding cream and sugar as well.

5. Never grocery shop hungry. If you find yourself at the store with a growling belly, simply buy a granola bar or small bag of nuts to eat before you hit the aisles. You can save your cupboards from being stocked with unhealthy foods, and stop yourself from impulse purchases.

6. Don’t eat standing up. The food you eat standing up is usually either unhealthy or unnecessary. You don’t need this thoughtless eating; instead consider every meal as a ritual, take your time and eat with intention and your body as a temple where junk does not belong.

7. Eat breakfast. You have heard it again and again, and maybe you are just not hungry when you wake up. Fair enough, but have a protein bar and banana or natural yogurt on hand for the moment you do get hungry an hour or so later. If you wait to eat lunch or later in the day your metabolism will slow down and your whole eating schedule and digestive system will be thrown off.

8. Don’t buy foods that contain more than three ingredients that you can’t pronounce (and we’re being lenient here). We live in a world of processed foods, and in busy times these quick meals must suffice, but if you stick to foods where you know what is in them you will have a healthier, happier body.

9. Don’t ever eat foods straight out of the bag or container. Most people underestimate what constitutes a serving size, and they wind up eating far more cookies or chips than they intended to. Even healthy foods are bad for your body if you overindulge, so decide how much you want to eat and place it in a separate bowl, plate or paper towel to enjoy instead of dipping straight out of the bag.

10. Stash healthy snacks in your car to decrease impulse trips through fast food drive-through. Keep your favorite brand of fruit and nut bars, such as Kind Fruit and Nut bars, granola or even peanut-butter crackers in the car so that your stomach never drives you to an unhealthy meal experience!

So follow these easy tips to a healthier, happier you!

I am excited to announce that Beanitos has expanded its delicious snacks to now be Non-GMO and Kosher! These snacks, available in flavors including Black Bean, Pinto Bean and Flax Chips, Black Bean Chipotle BBQ and Pinto Bean Cheddar Cheese, are excellent snacks made from all natural wheat free ingredients.

The word as spread on these delicious chips and they are one of the top sellers at SnackWarehouse.com, especially since they are a great substitute for traditional corn chips in things like nachos or chips and salsa.

Beanitos are also perfect for those with Celiac disease. Scott Adams, someone struggling with this disease posted at Celiac.com: Beanitos are crunchy and taste great, making them a truly viable alternative to potato, corn or wheat-based snack products. Because the chips contain 5 grams of fiber per ounce, Beanitos fill you up faster than other chips! Consumers are smarter and more health conscious than ever before. They read labels and want products that taste good, and are good for them. Bean Brand’s mission drives all decisions: offer snack chip lovers a tasty alternative to corn and potato chips that fills them up with real, healthy and nutritious ingredients – period.

So feel free! Give these chips a try and I’m pretty sure they may permanently replace those Tostitos or other corn chips in your pantry.

NACS Online: Vending Machines Replace Junk Food with Organic

January 17,2011- San Diego- With the passage of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, schools across the country are scrambling to fill vending machines with more healthy fare, MSNBC reports.

“We’re at the beginning of a major movement in vending,” said Jolly Backer, founder of Fresh Healthy Vending.

Many vending machines in fitness centers, office buildings and schools will soon be stocked with fresh fruit, gluten-free snacks, granola bars and organic yogurt.

With a third of consumers today purchasing organic products each month, demand for new organic-filled vending machines is expected to grow. For example, organic snacks in machines at four Chicago-area high schools have outsold the previous soda-and-candy vending machines, said Jeff Carr, business manager for the district. “It’s the direction a lot of kids want to go,” he said. “And it’s our job to provide them with healthy choices.”

Coca-Cola and Pepsi have changed the mix in their vending machines to lower-calorie and smaller beverages. There’s also vending machines that stock fresh fruit. The vending machine industry’s Fit Pick program places stickers next to snacks and beverages low in fats and sugar.

What to take away from this article: It used to be easy to use inconvenience as an excuse to snack on the unhealthy chips or crackers in the vending machine, but people are recognizing the true health benefits of substituting those snacks with healthy organic ones! So don’t be surprised next time you go to the vending machine hoping for something sweet and you find healthy, yet equally delicious snacks instead!

What is your New Years Resolution? To hit the gym and lose weight? To take better care of your health and body? Just to live better overall? No matter what your focus one easy way to stick to your resolution is to start eating healthy snacks instead of whatever is in the vending machine! Granted, vending machines are convenient, but so is ordering snacks online for great prices- You don’t even have to leave your desk!

Snack warehouse carries a wide variety of snacks and brands that use the best quality ingredients to produce great tasting organic, kosher, vegan, gluten free and/or wheat free snacks for snackers of all ages. Of course choosing healthy snacks is only one step to create a healthier lifestyle. It is important to exercise regularly, get enough sleep and eat healthy meals as well as healthy snacks.

Here are some suggestions to stick to your New Year’s Resolutions:
1. Be specific. Don’t resolve to lost weight, or change eating habits. Select a certain amount of weight and a time limit to do it in, or say you’re going to cut out using so much salt, or only eat dessert once a week. Something manageable and measurable.

2. Write it down.

3. Review your resolution constantly. If your resolution is buzzing through your head, it’s easier to stick to it. Leave notes in your office, your kitchen or your bathroom for constant reminders.

4. Hold yourself accountable. Tell other people about your resolution. Find people with similar resolutions and work together, whatever works for you to make yourself feel accountable for success and failure.

5. Think big. Maybe you need a big change, a big adventure – a trip to a foreign place, a break-up, a move, a new job. Let yourself imagine anything, and plan from there.

6. Think small. Don’t think that you have to make a huge change to make a difference in your life. Some times the small simple things are the most important for you to change in order to lead to bigger goals.

7. Ask for help. Why is this so hard? But every time I ask for help, I’m amazed at how much easier my task becomes.

8. Consider making only pleasant resolutions. We can make our lives happier in many ways. If you have a challenging resolution, couple it with something enjoyable to reward yourself for your hard work. For example, if you resolve to go to the gym more often, also resolve to see more movies- counter an active resolution with a relaxing and enjoyable one.

9. Consider giving up a resolution. If you keep making and breaking a resolution, consider whether you should relinquish it entirely. Put your energy toward changes that are both realistic and helpful. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t achieve one of your resolutions because there are other ones that are also important.

10. Keep your resolution every day. Weirdly, it’s often easier to do something every day (exercise, post to a blog, deal with the mail, do laundry) than every few days.

11. Set a deadline.

12. Don’t give up if something interferes with your deadline, just readjust your plan accordingly.

GOOD LUCK, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
