Power Bars: Health Food Scam or Energy Restoring Snack?


Do you eat protein bars, energy bars or nutrition bars and never seem to feel the health benefits the label or advertisements claim you will feel? Do you still seem sluggish, perhaps even more so than before the bar that claims to contain healthy ingredients, promising to restore energy, make you look better and feel better? Are you gaining weight instead of losing weight?

Discover the real truth about the nutrition and energy-restoring claims associated with power bars and nutrition bars, along with what you are really putting in your body every time you eat one of them.

Easy Claims of Healthy, Energy-Restoring Snack

Various power bar advertisements often claim that the power bars supply an abundance of healthy nutrients along with the ability to provide energy-restoring benefits. The various types of advertisement claims likely seem promising and trustworthy to many individuals, perhaps especially for people looking for ways to get healthier or stay healthy but who are not able to engage in strenuous exercise or workout routines.

The ease of believing power bar and energy bar advertising claims of providing healthy, energy-restoring benefits becomes even more apparent for some people when they read the ingredients. A list of ingredients that includes real fruit and nuts sounds very powerful and healthy. Some of them may sound even healthier as you learn that some varieties of power bars contain no preservatives. Surely, that ensures that it is truly healthy, right?

What most people likely do not realize is the truth about these supposedly healthy, energy restoring protein bars and nutrition bars.

The Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth

Advertising claims that do not tell the entire truth also run amok in many of the healthy claims about power bars and nutrition bars. But how can that be? It is understandable that you ask that question, especially since many brands of power bars contain ingredients such as blueberries, cranberries, cherries, almonds, cashews or other nuts or seeds.

Your jaw may drop when you learn just how unhealthy power bars really are for your body and for any hopes that you have for getting healthier or experiencing restored energy by eating power bars.

Power bars and nutrition bars rarely have enough of a serving of healthy fruits, nuts or other healthy ingredients to make much of a difference. Additionally, the fruits, nuts, oats, veggies and seeds are often coated with high fructose corn syrup. The shiny appearance across the top of the power bar is often the result of unhealthy, fattening, sugary syrups. Some are coated in chocolate.

Everyday Health points out that diet, nutrition or energy bars often contain as much sugar as candy, while other sources proclaim that eating power bars or energy bars is actually worse than eating a candy bar.

The Power Bars and Energy Bars Health Food Scam

Reading the list of ingredients on every brand or variety of power bar likely results in realizing the health food scams often associated with this unhealthy snack. High levels of unhealthy calories, cholesterol, sugars, fats and other ingredients that you might not know how to pronounce potentially makes you feel sluggish and even less energetic. Also consider the possibility that you can potentially gain weight instead of your belief that you will lose weight, particularly if you eat power bars regularly.

Call them whatever you prefer – protein bars, nutrition bars or energy bars. The facts remain the same whatever you call these health food scam bars. Any product containing unhealthy fats, sugars and other unhealthy ingredients cannot fulfill your desire for a healthy, energy-boosting snack.

Now that you realize that protein bars are typically no healthier than most candy bars, sometimes even worse for your health than candy bars, consider naturally healthy snacks such as unsalted, uncoated nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating raw veggies, fruits and nuts provides outstanding anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy, energy boosting health benefits.
