Consuming a proper balance of macronutrients— protein, fats, and carbohydrates—is crucial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. With that in mind USANA has created a new range of MySmartBars, and with each bar we’re delivering highquality, complete proteins and beneficial fat from coconut oil.

By combining our new snack range with our core products the USANA Essentials or USANA HealthPak you can balance both your macro and micronutrients for optimal nutrition.

At USANA, optimal levels are the only acceptable levels, and optimal levels come from the USANA Essentials and HealthPak. These foundational products provide the right levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support your overall health. Of course you can personalise your micronutrients even further by adding additional USANA supplements and optimisers to suit your needs such as our BiOmega and Proflavanol®C100 for heart health, HepaPlus for digestive health, Proglucamune for everyday immune support or Visionex for healthy eyes. No matter what your nutritional needs are USANA has a combination which will work for you!

So what makes the MySmartBars so smart? Each bar is made with simple, pure ingredients to create a beneficial balance of macronutrients. They are packed with high quality Whey/Milk protein, healthy fats from coconut oil and have no refined sugars. At only 150 Calories or less they are great to eat in between meals or after workout. The MySmartBars come in two delicious flavours Coconut Cashew and Dark Chocolate.

Get smart about your nutrtion and make sure you’re body is running at it’s best. A great start is with USANA Essentials or USANA HealthPak, and our delicious MySmartBars.

The MySmartBars range will be on sale in New Zealand in July 2016. To learn more visit www.usana.com or check out our Facebook page.

Do you have an energy crisis?  Now, we are not talking about power, but our personal energy. We all prefer to stay alert all day, rest well at night, and have enough energy to do our daily chores and also to enjoy some leisure time! But this may be a big challenge for many of us.  More than 65 per cent of our population who constitute the working-age segment could be faced with very busy and stressful lifestyles.  And since most of us are not receiving enough sleep and have poor eating habits, it is no surprise that so many of us feel drained.

Be at your best with proper rest!

We are all aware that fatigue takes its toll on us both physically and emotionally.  It can have disastrous effects on our immune system, causing us to fall ill and can even lead to other long-term or chronic conditions. But we have the power to choose what is right for us!

Nutrition plays a crucial role in fighting fatigue.  Like the saying goes “We are what we eat” and that is very true even when it comes to the nutritional content of the food we consume.  No time to plan nutritional content in our daily meals, breakfast skipping, consuming fast foods with low nutritional content, eating without moderation, are some of the culprits on one hand.  Our dietary habits also directly affect our energy levels, and boosting our nutritional intake can give us more energy throughout the day.

On the other hand regular exercise, stress relief activities, and getting at least eight hours of sleep are critical to fighting off fatigue.  It is the normal practice for many working folk and home makers to reach for a cuppa when fatigue hits.  But food science experts opine that stimulants such as caffeine exaggerate the effect of natural hormones, like adrenaline, and give you a stimulated feeling.  But the results usually last no more than two hours and frequent users often experience headaches without it. It can also interfere with your sleep and can leave you feeling dehydrated.  So for a temporary fix, natural alternatives are a better option.

Fight the fuzzies with regular exercise and stress relief activities!

In the long-term, we need more to help us fight off fatigue, and short-term fixes just don’t cut it!  And our nutrition is the place to start.

Power on with USANA’s EssentialsTM.
