According to Statistics Canada, more than 1 in 4 Canadians described their day-to-day lives as highly stressful (2010). This feeling has caused many of us to find comfort by eating the foods we love. Unfortunately, more often than not we turn to the fatty and sugary foods that are oh so bad for us.
The foods we eat to feel better in fact leave us feeling more angry and depressed. The key to improving one’s mood is to stay away from the carb crashing and sugar spiking processed foods we find in the pantry. Sugary desserts, fried foods, and chemically infused sodas will only make us feel worse. That’s right, worse!
To ward off fatigue and boost our energy our bodies need foods rich in iron, vitamin B6, omega-3, calcium and protein. One of the best nutrients to boost mood is selenium; also known to ward off anxiety and contain many antioxidant properties.
Our fresh breads are made with sprouted ancient grains that contain many mood enhancing nutrients that help us maintain a well-balanced and healthy diet. Our NEW varieties including Spelt Chia & Poppy Seed, Organic Ezekiel with Chia and Sunflower, and Organic Country White with Semolina and Quinoa contain a source of selenium, zinc, magnesium, vitamin B6, iron, calcium, protein and fibre!
We also sprout our own grains, pods, and legumes making them true superfoods! The Adzuki bean, Mung bean, Lentil and Brown Rice are jam-packed with nutrition and antioxidants. These varieties contain high amounts of zinc, magnesium, vitamin B6, iron, calcium, protein and fibre. The Adzuki bean and Brown Rice also contain high amounts of vitamin B6.
The most important thing is to be proactive! Try to incorporate foods rich in antioxidants, calcium, protein and fibre into your daily routine. And stay away from foods that with bad fats, high sodium and refined carbs that will only bring your mood into a deeper depression. Nobody wants to have lunch with cranky pants!

At ShaSha Co. we source our ingredients very carefully to ensure we provide natural healthy foods for our customers and their families.
Happy Eating!
We’ve all heard “an apple a day” but can the same be true for the sweet confectionery, chocolate? Dark chocolate and minimally processed cocoa powders provide the most antioxidants that promote vascular health, and has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain and heart. Compounds called flavonols are a
specific type of flavonoid found in dark chocolate. These flavonols make your blood platelets less likely to stick together and clot. Chocolate has been found to contain more flavonoids than red wine, black tea and green tea!
Cocoa has also been proven to:
But not all chocolate is created equal. Dark chocolate and minimally processed cocoa powders contain more flavonoids that are beneficial to our health. White and milk chocolate and processed cocoa has very little benefits and are often loaded with sugar, hydrogenated oils, and other unnecessary ingredients. A general rule of thumb is to consume cocoa that is 70 percent or higher for the most disease-fighting antioxidants.
At ShaSha Co we use 100 percent cocoa in our products! Our Cocoa
Snaps are all-natural, made with whole grain flour with no hydrogenated fat, no Trans-fat, and no cholesterol. These snaps are naturally low in fat and sugar and contain a good source of fibre. Manufactured in a peanut-free facility, these cookies are ideal for children to take to school for an afternoon snack.
Chocolate has many potential health benefits however; the bittersweet news comes with the warning of eating in moderation. A serving size of cocoa snaps is 30g or 14 pieces (approximately). A balanced diet combined with exercise is always the key to heart health. So remember, the darker the chocolate, the greater the health benefit!
