What are USANA® Foods?

Virtually chronic degenerative diseases that plague today's world are caused or exacerbated by the deterioration of the modern diet. USANA® Foods were developed to provide great-tasting, high-quality macronutrients your body needs to maintain health and feel great. These convenient foods can be used along with the Essentials and Optimizers to complete your healthy diet. Many USANA Foods contain beneficial ingredients like dietary fibre, soy protein, and potassium.

To achieve and maintain a healthy body, your body's cells need specific nutrients (high-quality protein, varied fibre sources, carbohydrates, beneficial fats, vitamins, and minerals). When your body's cells lack these vital nutrients, they do not function properly.

At USANA, we understand that good nutrition includes both micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other compounds we consume in small amounts) and macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that make up the bulk of our food). The primary goal of good nutrition is to promote lifelong good health. This state of well-being implies the optimal performance of all body systems.

THE RIGHT MACRONUTRIENTS
It is vitally important that your diet include the right types of each class of macronutrient:

• The right carbohydrates are either complex carbohydrates or fibre. Complex carbohydrates and fibre generally supply additional healthy trace elements and phytonutrients, as well as energy
• A healthy diet includes a variety of protein sources including complete proteins, which contain all of the essential amino acids
• Beneficial fats are high in essential fatty acids and low in saturated fatty acids. No more than 10 percent of your total daily calories should be derived from saturated fat

GUARANTEED LOW GLYCEMIC (GI)
Low GI foods provide greater satisfaction as well as sustained energy. USANA Foods are clinically tested and all formulated as low GI. They offer healthy alternatives as snacks or meal replacements, giving you sustained energy throughout the day.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A LOW-FAT, HIGH-FIBRE DIET
Increasing your fibre intake can help maintain a healthy digestive system. Unfortunately, the normal diet in today's society includes only one-half to two-thirds of the fibre necessary for optimal health.1 The positive impact of a high-fibre diet is increased when there is a concurrent reduction in the amount of saturated fat consumed.2
