Will Top Nosh Foods Muesli put kilos on my thighs or rolls round my stomach?

Why do so many people have reservations about crunchy muesli?

Time and time again I hear people tell me they can't eat what they perceive to be toasted muesli because they say it is so full of fat.

Well, Top Nosh Foods' crunchy muesli won't put extra kilos on your thighs or rolls of fat round your stomach! ... in fact it will help those that exercise and follow a balanced diet such as the Low GI diet to in fact lose weight and then keep it off.

Why is that?

• Top Nosh Foods does not toast it's muesli in the conventional way.

• Top Nosh Foods doesn't use oils which contain trans fats, we don't use hydrogenated processed oils, nor GM modified oils, in fact we don't use any of these oils in these baked products

• the fat in these products comes from the ingredients themselves

• Top Nosh Foods gently oven bakes the grains in a way to best preserve their nutritional value

The healthy fats in Top Nosh Foods Muesli come from the nuts!

• Almonds- help to lower LDL-Cholesterol and reduce a person's risk of heart disease. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats. As you no doubt know, these are the same type of health-promoting fats as are found in olive oil. rich in vitamin E and are a useful source of calcium. Almonds are also useful in protecting against diabetes and cardiovascular disease by lessening after-meal surges in blood sugar. Almonds assist by lessening the increase in cholesterol-damaging free radicals that accompanies large elevations in blood sugar. This is one reason why low- glycemic index diets result in lower risk of diabetes and heart disease. They contain no cholesterol

• Macadamias - Macadamia nuts contain significant amounts of fibre (helps the movement of the digestive tract) and the B-complex vitamins (mostly involved in the metabolic processes). These nuts also contain small amounts of selenium (has important antioxidant properties, thus helping to protect the body from cancer), calcium (builds bones and teeth), phosphorus (builds bones and teeth), potassium (regulates the body's fluid balance), iron (essential for red blood cell function and enzyme activity) and magnesium (promotes energy release and bone growth). Although the energy value of these nuts is relatively high, macadamias contain no cholesterol.

  Like all other varieties of nuts, macadamias also contain antioxidants associated with a decreased risk of certain types of cancer, like breast, cervical, gastrointestinal, lung, stomach and prostate cancer. If you want further information about macadamia nuts then review what The Australian Macadamia Society has to say about this great nut. http://macadamias.org/index.php?p=7

• Walnuts -They are a great source of omega 3 fatty acids which is a particular type of protective fat the body cant manufacture by itself.

  Walnuts' concentration of omega-3s (a quarter-cup provides 90.8% of the daily value for these essential fats) has many potential health benefits ranging from cardiovascular protection, to the promotion of better cognitive function, to anti-inflammatory benefits helpful in asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. Also, walnuts contain an antioxidant compound called ellagic acid that supports the immune system and appears to have several anticancer properties. They contain no cholesterol.

   

• Hazelnuts- rich in vitamin E (helps form red blood cells, muscles and other tissues) and are a useful source of thiamine (enhances energy and promotes normal appetite) and vitamin B6 (aids protein metabolism and absorption).

  These nuts are also relatively good sources of protein (essential for growth and repair of the body's cells), dietary fibre (helps the movement of the digestive tract), iron (essential for red blood cell function and enzyme activity), calcium (helps build bones and teeth) and potassium (helps regulate the body's fluid balance).

  Although hazelnuts are relatively high in fat, like all other tree nuts, they contain no cholesterol.
