Peace Cereal is
committed to providing the highest quality ingredients, while
also protecting the earth’s natural resources. Since 1991,
we have worked at developing partnerships with socially and
environmentally responsible companies to create the sources
we need to provide you with healthy, organic foods. Our model
is based on working with small farms and teaching techniques
of preserving soil richness through the environment’s
natural cycles – thereby avoiding a need for chemical
fertilizers and pesticides.
Our commitment to healthy natural products goes far beyond our
quality ingredients. We adhere strictly to the prohibition of
Genetically Modified ingredients required by the National Organic
Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and by Quality
Assurance International (QAI), our organic third party certifier.
We are proud to now bear the USDA Organic Seal on all our cereals
that are at least 95% organic. |

Peace Cereal has
many good choices for a delicious low fat breakfast. Most agree
that Americans have too much fat in their diets – about
42 percent of our daily calories come from fat. The average
American now eats 30 more grams of fat a day than we ate a hundred
years ago. Much of this current intake is from "unhealthy"
fats – saturated fats from animal products, hydrogenated
oils, and foods deep-fried in cooking oils at high temperatures.
Reducing your intake of these foods, and upping your intake
of fruits and vegetables can significantly lower your risk of
high cholesterol and triglycerides. Choosing a low fat cereal
is one way to eat a great tasting, heart healthy breakfast.
Learn more about why low fat eating is a choice for life at
the USDA
website. |

When you pour yourself
a bowl of Peace Cereal, you’re enjoying a breakfast with
plenty of fiber, but without trans fats or cholesterol. This
can help protect you against heart disease. According to the
American Heart Association, every year nearly 1.5 million male
and female Americans of all ages will suffer heart attacks.
And while genetics plays a large role in heart disease; secondhand
smoke, sedentary lifestyles, and diet all take their toll on
heart health.
Adding foods to your diet containing antioxidants, fiber, foliate,
vitamin B6, vitamin B12, as well as plenty of fruits, vegetables,
and soy protein is one step you can take towards preventing
heart disease. You’d be wise to avoid saturated fats,
trans fatty acids, and cholesterol. It makes Heart Sense to
start your day with a bowl of Essential 10 – with all
the fiber you need and the great taste you love! |

Whole grains found
in breakfast cereals are an important source of fiber. Whole
grains contain alkalinizing minerals – especially magnesium,
vitamins, essential fatty acids, and the fiber that helps you
feel more satisfied with fewer calories. A recent study found
that people with high carbohydrate diets actually consumed about
300 less calories per day than the average person!
Whole grains such as such as oat, rice, and wheat may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as lower cholesterol. A bowl of cereal is an easy way to add good tasting and health promoting dietary fiber to your breakfast. |

Protein
is very important to a healthy diet. While carbohydrates
provide cells with energy, protein provides cells with
the building material they need to grow and maintain their
structure. The body is about 20 percent protein by weight.
Beans, peas and other legumes are an excellent source
of protein. If you include these in your diet, and also
eat whole grains such as whole wheat, oats, corn, barley,
millet, buckwheat, and rice, they provide the entire assortment
of essential amino acids that are the building blocks
of protein.
A good source of protein, along with the many nutrients
needed to metabolize it, is a whole grain cereal. Along
with a glass of milk, you’ll get the protein you
need to kick start your day.

Nearly all Peace Cereals are vegan friendly foods. This means they are suitable for those who chose to eat an entirely plant-based diet without eggs, meat, fish, poultry, or dairy. Studies have suggested that eating Vegan could be a positive health choice for those with certain dietary problems. Both American and Australian studies found that high fiber vegan diets seemed to help decrease total cholesterol as well as aid in weight control.
If you choose a vegan diet, or are simply trying to eat high
fiber and healthier foods, enjoy a bowl of Peace Cereal for
breakfast and start your day right.

Folic
acid is a B vitamin needed for cell replication and growth.
Studies suggest that this helpful vitamin may reduce the
risk of heart disease and is an important vitamin for
women of childbearing age. It’s so important to
your body that in 1996 the FDA began to require that all
enriched flour, rice, pasta, cornmeal, and other grain
products – such as breakfast cereals – contain
140 mcg of folic acid per 100 grams. Starting your day
with a bowl of Essential 10 is a good way to insure you’ll
get the Folic acid you need and maintain a healthy heart.

site.

While refined, highly processed white flour carbohydrates can harm your health, eating whole grains and whole-grain foods is good for you. This food group can help regulate cholesterol and keep your digestive system healthy. It may also help you control your weight and support heart health.
Highly processed carbohydrates, such as white flour and white rice can cause a quick blast of blood sugar followed by a sudden drop in blood sugar. This large swing in blood sugar makes you hungry sooner than you should be, so you eat too much. Whole grains, like the kind found in natural cereals, bring slower, steadier increases in blood sugar which is much healthier. They also deliver far more fiber, vitamins, minerals and other healthful nutrients. |

There are a number of reasons why eating low sugar, whole grain cereals are better for you. One reason is that the body is designed to maintain a fairly constant blood sugar level. Rapidly absorbed refined sweeteners cause blood sugar levels to climb. This leads to what some authorities call "sugar shock" or "sugar buzz" as the body turns foods such as cookies into simple sugars.
In certain people there can be a "let down" feeling. After the inevitable crash, the body again craves a quick "pick me up" snack to boost energy, resulting in an unhealthy spiral. Many Peace Cereals have far less sugar than other brands. Treat yourself to a crunchy and delicious bowl, and get the energy you need to keep you going throughout the busiest day! |

Numerous reports indicate that, because soy is high in isoflavones, it can prevent imbalances and promote good health. Isoflavones are compounds found only in plants and a type of phytoestrogen, or plant hormone, resembling human estrogen in chemical structure. By mimicking human estrogen at certain sites in the body, isoflavones provide many health benefits.
Isoflavones have been shown to help support a healthy heart and even relieve some menopausal symptoms. For more on why soy helps your health check out this article. |

Omega-3
fatty acids are a form of polyunsaturated fats that the
body can only derive from food, such as the flaxseed found
in breakfast cereals. A good intake of Omega-3 has been
linked to easing moodiness, and other studies have shown
that Omega-3 rich diets help protect the heart. All polyunsaturated
fats, including the omega-3s, are increasingly recognized
as important to good health. It is also important to balance
omega-6 fatty acids with the omega-3 variety for optimum
nutrition.
Because most people on a typical Western diet consume far more omega-6-rich foods (including baked goods, fried foods, margarine, and others), the ratio is out of balance for almost everyone. This means for most Americans the emphasis now needs to be on increasing omega-3s to make the ratio more even. ItŐs easy to enjoy Essential 10 and get your daily intake in a good tasting bowl of cereal.
