Antoinette's favorite

With her cheerfulness and beautiful personality, Antoinette quickly became a favorite at our Plateau branch. As a health consultant, she joined La Boite à Grains in 2021. Like many, it is her passion for natural products that led her to join our team, after having worked for several years in a health food store across the river in Ottawa. "I love La Boite à GrainsThe atmosphere is great and the products are excellent. It is impossible for me to leave the store without buying something!".

Antoinette presents her favorite, the organic moringa from Nia Pure Nature.

Why the organic moringa from Nia Pure Nature?

It is a superfood with many benefits. It is just incredible. Moringa is rich in antioxidants, fiber, protein, calcium, iron (interesting for people suffering from anemia). I can also mention quercetin which is anti-inflammatory and flavonoids. It is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin A and vitamin E. This makes it an ally of our skin, since it helps generate collagen.

I consume moringa every day. Personally, I don't like the taste of moringa powderso I prefer the capsules. For the powder, I mix it with water, apple cider vinegar and Molkosanwhich gives a more pleasant fruity taste.

As for the company, I chose Nia Pure Nature because it is a local company, from Ottawa, that I know very well. Their products are prepared with care and I trust them.

Do you have any tips to share about using this product?

Moringa is a treasure of nature and anyone who is an adult can use it. Whether it is for me directly or for people around me, it brings a real plus in terms of energy and staying healthy.

It is necessary to go gradually in terms of dosage. I advise to start with one capsule in the morning and one later in the day. Then move on to two capsules twice a day.

Let's talk about nutrition. What is a healthy diet for you?

For me, the key word is moderation. I don't smoke, I don't drink. I eat a lot of vegetables, fruits, meat... a little bit of everything. I pay attention to the quality and the origin of the products, and for many foods, I will buy organic.

Do you have a favorite meal of the day?

There is a saying that sums it up. In our house, we eat like a king in the morning, like a prince at noon and like a poor man at night... It is very important to start the day well and I make sure to prepare a hearty breakfast. It can be scrambled eggs, yogurt, pita bread, raw vegetables, and everything is always home-made.

Do you have any healthy habits to share?

Walking, I love it, at least an hour a day! There are some great trails in the area and I enjoy the ones near my home in the airport area. I also ride my exercise bike.

Thank you Antoinette for sharing your favorite place with us!
