Los Angeles, CA (March 2017) – Transforming the daily cuppa into a restorative wellness boost, superfood herbal beverages are the top wellness trend of 2017. Well+Good states that “Hyper-functional beverages” are the new health tonic of 2017 in their Top Wellness Trends.[1] Well+Good further explains that “more people are turning to ancient remedies for their modern maladies.” Highlighted in Parade Magazine, dieticians have announced Maca as one of Best Foods to Eat in 2017. Used medicinally for thousands of years, Maca, the scrumptious chocolate flavored Peruvian root vegetable is a powerful adaptogen that has the potential to boost energy and libido by revitalizing and optimizing overall body function.[2] Science of Living (SOL) Natural Foods continues to pioneer the reintroduction of ancient wisdom and tradition into modern wellness with their delicious, powerful, and hand-roasted Macaccino. Promoting sustained energy levels and overall well-being, Macaccino is a promising new element for any wellness routine.
Science of Living (SOL) Natural Foodspresents their delicious, superfood beverage at the 2017 Natural Products Expo West in Los Angeles March 8-12, 2017. With a growing consumer demand for beverages that provide powerful health benefits, Macaccino is leading market trends to give the consumer what they want and what their bodies need. Macaccino was developed by Santa Monica-based chef and wellness expert Aaron Glassman who discovered the powers of Maca root at his vegan eatery The Golden Mean Cafe. Glassman crafted Macaccino with the intent of delivering coffee drinkers a cleaner, more natural energy, while providing restorative health benefits.
The many health benefits of Maca include:
- Superfood: Maca contains amino acids, essential fatty acids, phenols, vitamins and minerals including calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc.
- Adaptogenic: adaptogens improve the body’s ability to adapt to stress.
- Tradition: Maca has been used for centuries to increase energy, boost mood, enhance libido and balance hormones.
Nikki Ostrower, nutritionist and founder of NAO Nutrition states, “Just the act of taking in an adaptogenic herb, which nourishes our adrenal gland, we’re preventing our [bodies] from unnecessarily trapping our fat, and also giving our minds the ability to handle stress more effectively. These adaptogens also boost the immune system, they support managing a healthy weight, give us more endurance, help with focus, and encourage a balanced mood”. [3]
SOL sources their Maca root from high in the Andes Mountains and roasts and blends in Los Angeles using their proprietary method to capture its wellness benefits. Following the traditional protocols for preparing Maca, SOL roasts the root to preserve its dense nutritional profile, and to aid in digestibility.Macaccino is also better for the environment than coffee. No deforestation occurs in the farming of the product, and while one gallon of coffee requires a staggering 1,056 gallons of water to produce from field to cup, the same amount of Macaccino uses a mere 4 gallons.
