Mayver's Health Foods

 

Local, family-owned health food brand, Mayver's Health Foods have launched a brand new range of tasty pure-state table spreads; using 100 per cent wholefood natural ingredients minus the sugar, chemicals and preservatives.


With products made only from only pure, natural ingredients, Mayver's has been delivering the powerful health benefits of functional foods to Australians for over a decade. Given the alarming rise in levels of Type 2 Diabetes and mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, Mayver's has been working hard to develop pure-state table-spreads that provide doses of protective nutrients along with delicious flavours
everyone will love.


Mayvers' owner Paul Raff hails pure-state functional food as the answer to helping reduce rising rates of chronic illness and many Australian nutritionists and health food consumers share his view.


"Consumers are looking for pure foods, free from unnatural and chemically processed ingredients that protect them from disease. The pure-state functional food movement provides packaged and chemical-free processed foods that are made using 100 per cent natural ingredients containing powerful nutrients for health and vitality," Mr Raff said.


"Australian women are also increasingly looking for foods without any added sugar. They're tired of seeing foods on the supermarket shelves that simply add to their own weight gain, low energy and feelings of guilt. We've develop a range that meets those needs without compromising at all on taste."


Mayver's Hazelnut & Cacao Spread is just one of their tasty new sugar-free products launching right in time for summer. Studies show hazelnuts are good for your heart and like all nuts can actually help you to control your weight. They are rich in monounsaturated fats that promote healthy cholesterol levels and reduced belly fat!

 

Hazelnuts are also rich in powerful antioxidants, protein, fibre and several vitamins and minerals including manganese, vitamin E, folate, iron and zinc.


While may of us beat ourselves up for indulging in too much chocolate, its natural state cacao is actually good for us! Cacao was a staple of many ancient peoples such as the Incas and Aztecs. It ranks amongst the highest levels for antioxidant power and the fats present are don't raise cholesterol. Cacao is also rich in magnesium, an essential mineral widely deficient in Western diets. Magnesium is crucial for human metabolism, mood regulation and blood sugar control. All up cacao gives you the chocolate hit you love, without any of the detrimental effects of sugar-sweetened commercial chocolate.


With the Medical Journal of Australia recently reporting diabetes to be a 'national emergency' similar to the epidemics of cholera and typhoid in the 19th century, people are beginning to realise the crucial importance of eating foods lower in salt, added sugar and saturated fats and choosing healthier, pure-state wholefoods.

 

The Global Burden of Disease 2010 report also found mental illness to be the number one contributor to disability worldwide, having increased up to 37 per cent over 20 years.

Paul Raff says the need to protect and strengthen our emotional wellbeing through dietary therapy is of critical importance to the wellbeing of our families and communities.


Mayver's has also released healthy and delicious Nuts & Seeds and Medi-Honey spreads. Official nutritionist for The Today Show, Vice-president of the Australian Lifestyle Medicine Association and expert dietitian Dr Joanna McMillan says that nuts and seeds often get a bad name when in fact they're a whole natural food with many benefits.


"Although some people are allergic to nuts it's worth remembering they are very much in the minority. If your child is not allergic to nuts then outside of school, Mayver's spreads are a nutritionally dense food ideal for kids and adults," Dr Joanna said.


"Many adults perceive nuts and seeds as fattening and steer clear. In fact, both are a source of plant protein, dietary fibre and although high in fat; they are predominantly healthy monounsaturated fats (as found in olive oil and avocado) and polyunsaturated fats. These fats improve blood cholesterol profiles and are associated with better heart health. Mayvers' new honey-based spreads provide a healing alternative to refined sugarladen or artificially sweetened diet spreads. Every one of their new products is a better choice than butter, margarine or spreads high in added colours, flavours and preservatives, she said.


Mayvers' table spread range hits the mark when it comes to bringing pure-state functional foods to Australian homes. Mayvers' makes it easy for Australian families to purchase and consumer pure-state, affordable food without the risk of unnatural ingredients. All their spreads are made from pure, natural ingredients with no added salt, sugar, oil or nasty chemicals.


Health smart parents, the health and weight conscious, sufferers of coeliac disease, diabetes and those who are dairy, gluten and wheat intolerant have been using Mayvers' flagship product Mayver's Tahini for a decade; as well as popular spreads released in October 2012 – Peanut, Sesame and Mayonnaise. As well as the Hazelnut & Cacao spread; Mayvers new range includes Black Tahini, Peanut & Coconut, Pepita, Peanut &
Cacao, Sunflower, and Tahini & Honey.

 

Mayver's has also developed four Nut & Seed varieties including seven powerfully nutritious ingredients Brazil nuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, sesame seeds and chia seeds.

Each spread has an additional element targeting a specific area of health - Immune includes extra selenium; Energy has added spirulina; Digest comes with added fibre; and Omega-3 contains extra essential fatty acids.


But that's not all! Mayver's is also tapping into the ancient tradition of using honey for its amazing healing powers. The new Medi-Honey range uses active Manuka Honey with three extra ingredients known for their immunity-boosting properties – Lemon, Cinnamon and ginger. They've also added Eucalyptus Honey to their popular Tahini spread, creating yet another healthy option for Australian pantries.


Paul Raff says Australians are finding it increasingly difficult and time consuming when it comes to purchasing and consuming healthy and affordable food but this doesn't mean there are a lack of people who want truly natural sugar-free food choices.

"These days a growing number of people want pure-state functional foods but labels are hard to read and understand and many misleading claims are made by food brands. At Mayver's we've removed the guesswork and assure Australians our products, process and ingredients are 100 per cent natural.

 

"Most table spreads combine hardened oils, salt and sugar believing this is the only way to make their product palatable for mainstream consumers. Mayver's provides a natural, healthier alternative offering pure-state, natural organic wholefood table spreads containing no added oil, salt, sugar, hardened fats or artificial colours, flavours and preservatives.


"We're a small family company and our promise is genuine. We handpick out ingredients and use traditional chemical free processing such as water hulling, oven roasting and stone grinding to deliver a natural, healthy table spread that is as close to homemade as possible. We're inviting the Australian public to visit the local supermarket health food isle and good health food stores to try Mayver's products for themselves. We have
over 100 recipes to try available at www.mayvers.com.au."
