Living Foods(TM) Organic Products: A Sustainable Lifestyle Inside & Out

Posted on: Monday, 19 March 2007, 12:01 CDT

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- From heart- healthy teas to fair-trade cacao beans, Garden of Life's organic food products offer consumers an opportunity to lead sustainable lives with both a healthy diet and economic support for global communities.

Garden of Life, a longtime leader in whole food based nutritional products, is now offering a variety of foods that allow consumers to be healthy and do their part to support sustainable economies throughout the world. Garden of Life is already among the first companies of its size to make a commitment to environmental sustainability with its purchase of wind power certificates for 100% of the electricity needs for its offices and distribution center.

"Going organic is one of the easiest and most important ways that you can promote your own health and wellness while helping to improve the environment," says Garden of Life Founder, Jordan Rubin. "Committing yourself to eating a healthy diet is a first step toward a more sustainable life."

In keeping with this mantra of a sustainable diet as a stepping stone toward a sustainable lifestyle, Garden of Life offers the following products in its organic food line:

-- Living Foods (TM) Whole Food Bars combine the goodness of nutritious whole foods, such as organic fruits, nuts and sprouted grains with beneficial probiotics to create an incredibly satisfying bar that is both delicious and healthy. -- Living Foods(TM) Organic Teas is a flavor-fresh brewed tea concentrate that contains polyphenolic antioxidants to support a healthy heart and metabolism. Imported from the pristine Wuyi Mountains of China, purchases of this all-natural product help to support sustainable economies in the Wuyi Mountain region. -- Living Foods(TM) Hawaiian Lehua Honey is pure and unfiltered to preserve the rich nutrients and live enzymes of nature. A sweet and healthy treat that is 100% certified organic, it is harvested only once per year from the Lehua flower blossoms of the Ohia trees in the remote volcanic mountains of Hawaii. -- Living Foods(TM) Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, containing oil from only the freshest, organically grown coconuts, helps to maintain already healthy levels of cholesterol and thermogenesis at recommended levels of consumption. -- Living Foods (TM) Rainforest Cacao Chocolate is a flavorful, all- natural cacao bean product that supports overall health and microcirculation. In addition to Rainforest Cacao Chocolate's health- boosting capabilities, the chocolate also supports sustainable economies because it is bought at a fair trade price from small family farms in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Living Foods(TM) products can be found at independent health food retailers and select specialty retailers, such as Whole Foods(R) and Vitamin Shoppe(R).
