Benefits

Aliments Minçavi favours a sound and safe approach to meet your nutrition needs, along with an active lifestyle and the maintenance of a healthy body weight. These good habits contribute to the prevention of certain types of illnesses, such as: hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and Type 2 Diabetes, to name a few.

Minçavi's products offer many heart healthy benefits and on all of the nutrition labels, you can read: "Together with a healthy lifestyle, this food can help achieve and maintain a healthy weight because it is portion controlled".

The main guidelines for sound nutrition are as follows: eating more fruits and vegetables, choosing whole wheat grain products and reducing the consumption of trans and saturated fats. Aliments Minçavi offers you simple solutions in the form of good for you meals! Here are some of the advantages of experiencing life to the fullest with Minçavi:

• These meals are prepared using calculated protein portions (extra-lean meats, chicken, fish, legumes, etc.)
• Including a complete protein source at every meal is very important, since it contributes to a longer feeling of satiety than with other nutrients. Proteins use a lot of energy during digestion, hence raising your metabolic rate after each meal.
• Proteins prevent spikes in blood sugar levels that can lead to hypoglycaemia.
• Finally, a diet rich in protein helps control your appetite and insulin secretion, and is an important factor for weight loss and maintenance.

Minçavi products contain a controlled portion of starches and the desserts are prepared with low calorie sweeteners which helps control glycaemic levels (blood sugar levels).

• Counting carbohydrates is a reality for many people. If you are diabetic or hypoglycaemic, it is important to follow your doctor or dietician's guidelines regarding carbohydrate (sugar) intake. Aliments Minçavi makes it easier for you.

Each meal contains only ½ cup (125 ml) of starch (bread substitute) and each dessert is made with a low calorie sweetener. A diet rich in low glycaemic index foods contribute to good health. It is important for everyone who is health conscious to incorporate these recommendations into their own lifestyle. Prevention is the key; better to be safe than sorry!

A diet rich in saturated and trans fats can lead to high LDL cholesterol levels or low HDL cholesterol levels, which can lead to greater risks of heart disease. Therefore, Minçavi maximises its efforts in order to eliminate saturated and trans fats as much as possible from its products.
