Antoinette's favorite
With her enthusiasm and her beautiful personality, Antoinette quickly gained unanimous support at our Plateau branch. Health advisor, she joined La Boite à Grains in 2021. Like many, it was her passion for natural products that led her to join our team, after working for several years in a health grocery store on the other side of the river, in Ottawa.. "I love La Boite à Grains, the atmosphere is very good, and the products are excellent. It’s impossible for me to leave the store without buying something!”.
Antoinette presents her favorite, organic moringa from Nia Pure Nature.
Why organic moringa from Nia Pure Nature?
It is a superfood with many benefits. He's just incredible. Moringa is rich in antioxidants, fiber, proteins, 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. Which makes it an ally of our skin, since it helps generate collagen.
I consume moringa every day. Personally, I don't really like the taste of the moringa powder, I therefore favor the capsules. For the powder, I mix it with water, apple cider vinegar and of Molkosan, which 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 regarding using this product?
Moringa is a treasure of nature and everyone as an adult can consume it. Whether for me directly or for people around me, it brings a real boost in terms of energy and to stay in good health.
You have to go gradually in terms of dosage. I recommend starting 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 food. What is healthy eating 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 origin of products, and for many foods, I will buy organic.
Do you have a favorite meal of the day?
There is a saying that sums things up well. At home, we eat like a king in the morning, like a prince at midday and like a pauper in the evening... It's very important to get a good start to the day and I take care to prepare a breakfast copious. It can be scrambled eggs, yogurt, pita bread, raw vegetables, and everything is always homemade.
Do you have any healthy habits to share?
I love walking, at least an hour a day! There are some great trails in the area, and I take advantage of the ones near my home in the airport area. I also do an exercise bike.
Thank you Antoinette for sharing your favorite with us!
