Savor the Good 'Life' with New Breads from Nature's Own Life®

Nature's Own Life^® breads give shoppers solutions to address a variety of health and wellness needs. Trend research shows that consumers want more protein, grains and fiber and less sugar, sodium and calories in their food choices, and Life^® breads deliver just that, packed with goodness to the last bite.

Karen Buch, RDN, LDN, a registered dietitian nutritionist, says consumers, now more than ever, are looking for foods that align with their personal nutritional goals.

"Some consumers are choosing more protein to help trigger satiety and improve appetite satisfaction, others want to eat adequate fiber and whole grains to aid digestive health, and some are looking to trim calories and sugar as part of an overall healthy diet that supports weight management. Nature's Own Life^® is a great solution for these goals, helping consumers boost protein, increase whole grains and fiber, and reduce calories and sugar in their diets, while still enjoying the delicious taste and texture that bread has to offer," Buch said.
