Who remembers learning about "Healthy Eating and Fitness" in high school? (or elementary school for that matter). If you do, chances are you remember the "Food Pyramid" i.e. 6–11 servings of grains/day, 2–4 of fruit, 3–5 of veggies, etc.
Now, I want you to think about how you currently eat (whether its paleo, zone, or whatever you want). Does it resemble the above pyramid? More and more people are switching away from our 'obsession' with High-Carb/Low-Fat diets and yet the pyramid shown above is still more commonly accepted and is what is being used to "teach" kids and teenagers how to "eat healthy."
Do you think the old pyramid should be removed and replaced with a more "paleo-style" food guide? like the one below?
If you're questioning traditional nutrition guidelines, you're not alone—and there’s growing demand for simpler, real-food-based options.
That's why Blonyx places a large emphasis on real food ingredients in our sports nutrition products like Hydra+, Egg White Protein Isolate, and Multivit+. These products were developed with the idea that athletes should be fueling their bodies with real foods whenever possible.
Learn more about real food hydration with electrolyte products like Hydra+—our hydration powder made with only real food ingredients—or why athletes are switching to Egg White Protein Isolate, a clean, minimally processed protein made from just 7 real food ingredients that delivers the full amino acid profile your body needs to recover.
