Allos Organic Bars
Why is it so hard to say ”no“ to sweets? And why do we mostly eat the whole chocolate bar instead of just one bit? It is the same with cookies and candies. Most of the time we eat more than just one. Scientists have found out: We can’t help it. Our ancestors are to blame, since our preference for sweets is a thousand-year-old genetic heritage. When the prehistoric men hunted mammoths or sought a new cave, it often took several days. For the exhausting daily activities they needed an enormous amount of energy reserves. Those they filled up with fructose in form of fruits and berries.
Fruits, especially berries of all kinds, are naturally sweet. Thus it was not difficult for the Stone Age brain to connect business with pleasure. If Stone Age people passed trees with ripe cherries, apples or plums, they were harvested. As soon as we eat sweet treats, the reward system in our head is switched on. Often just the sight of something sweet is enough and our brain begins to produce the neurotransmitter dopamine which is responsible for our well-being. This mechanism today works the same as in the days of the cavemen. There is just one difference: The sweets we have today are way sweeter than fruits and berries. Chocolate, biscuits and gummy bears still reward us with dopamine, however. This is why we like to help ourselves more than once. The cravings for sweets partially can be explained biologically. With a free choice between pears, grapes and strawberries or chocolate, sweets and ice cream, the healthier option, however, has only little chances.
Although we no longer hunt mammoths, but sit comfortably at a desk in the office, our brain still works as it did back then. In the desk drawer we stock up on candy, gummy bears and various chocolate bars with a plus of short-term happiness. Most of these are additionally sweetened and contain refined white sugar.
The Organic Fruit Bars of Allos show that there is also a purely natural way. Allos Organic Fruit Bars combine organic dried fruits with organic nuts and organic honey. While the varieties Apple Walnut and Blueberry rely on native fruits, the varieties Banana Almond, Cranberry, Date Orange, Mango, Passion Fruit and Cocoa Cashew favor exotic tropical fruits. Oat Crrrunch bars and oat flapjacks are available for snacks in between meals. Whether you're hiking, on a mountain tour, doing sport or during a break: the nut bars or amaranth chocolate puffs are just the thing as a small power snack. For Allos, organic means everything. With this in mind, the organic pioneer has been developing unadulterated and natural foods for decades. You will taste it.
