Food impacts our well being. Stay away from sweet and bad fat to be healthy.

October 10, 2018

In today's world, we think about food as something that is pre-made, already done for you. Those foods are most of the time addictive and made to make you come back to it (sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine, sugar suppresses your immunity for 5 hours  and I am not even talking about rancid hydrogenated fat). 

At Hnina, we stay away from sweet or too sweet and from processed saturated bad fat. Hnina is a vegan chocolate company that makes raw chocolate delicacies and nutrients dense foods.

Junk that is made with scientific "healthy sweet" or refined fat are not healthy, alkalizing or nourishing.

 

Sugar that comes from a fruit is healthier because they come with friends: fiber, vitamins, minerals. For example, if you eat an apple, you will get vitamin C, B complex vitamins, phytonutrients, minerals... Please see below:

If you drink apple juice, or eat coconut sugar, agave and all sort of refined/pure processed sweeteners, those are coming with no friends. It is pure fructose and/or glucose injected into your body. Only the liver knows how to take care of the fructose. Can you imagine the damage?

Hnina uses only sweeteners that have friends, are pure, unrefined, raw (dates) and loaded with nutrients (pure maple syrup) and fiber.

Hnina is made out of healthy good unsaturated fat from sprouted nuts and unprocessed pure raw dark organic chocolate. It is a pure nutrients dense superfood that comes with some calories. In fact, Hnina is so satiating, that after a truffle or a bite of dark chocolate, you will be done and happy! This is exactly the exact opposite of the need to eat more and more and more without being able to stop. 

 

Hnina organic raw chocolate do not contain ANY processed ingredient. Hnina is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and is not sweet. Our raw chocolate also acts as a prebiotic. At first, many people are chocked. For the ones, that already made the change in their lifestyle (meaning understanding that sugar is not their friend), they found Hnina and Nuts About Chocolate to be their best ally. 

if you are an athlete, a pregnant woman, an active person, a child who wants some sweets but refuses sugar, then you may love Hnina. 

Sweet is not a food (even this seems so comforting) it is a poison. Our bodies are not designed to eat sugar refined and saturated or rancid fat.
