Pregnancy is the most beautiful phase in a woman’s life and nothing gives me more happiness & satisfaction than caring for women who go-through this fruitful phase. As an OB/GYN, coming across pregnant women whose essential nutrition is not adequately met was an everyday sight. The first 1000 days beginning from pregnancy to the first two years of baby’s life is very critical in a child’s future health and brain development. The fetal origin of adult diseases like diabetes, hypertension,coronary heart disease, stroke and metabolic syndrome lay their foundation stones from the womb itself. I began searching for a healthy, natural, wholesome diet-enhancer for the women and baby in need, and when I found there wasn’t one available, I made one myself “requirements of mom and baby”.
Variety is the key to a balanced diet and hence, Great Bowl puts together all essential nutrients from a variety of natural ingredients.
The remarkably positive feedback the product received encouraged me to cater to a much larger audience. Rather than stuffing with synthetic formulas, Great Bowl uses only 100% naturally available foods that efficiently meet the nutritional requirements of mom & baby.
Great bowl handpicks from fresh cereals sourced from selective, organically grown crops that bud from healthy, disease -resistant seeds.
Stones, dust, grit, saponins etc are thoroughly removed to bring the goodness of nature in its purest form in every spoonful.
The cleaned ingredients are soaked in ultra pure water.
All the ingredients are powdered, double checked and packed in an ecofriendly recyclable packaging.
All elements are uniformly toasted Toasting increases antioxidant activity by 50% and metal chelating activity by 70%. To enjoy the maximum health benefits of sprouts for a safe pregnancy, its best consumed in a cooked form rather than raw.
Almost 7 ingredients are sprouted which enhances glucoraphanin by 10 to 100 times and chlorophyll activity which detoxifies the body.
Soaking destroys anti – nutritional factors (like trypsin inhibitor, phytates, tannins, beta- n- oxalyl-L-2, 3, Di-amino propionic acid) reduces bound fructose which interferes with digestion. Tannins are resistant to degradation and on consumption remain in the stomach but soaking reduces its adverse effects.
Sprouting enhances protein content and bioavailability and it increases levels of Vitamin B, C, D. Sprouts are rich source of enzymes which improves digestion. Sprouts contain high dietary fibre and prevent constipation. Sprouts are a great source of omega-3-fatty acids, especially alpha linolenic acid. Sprouting inhibits ghrelin which causes early satiety and prevents undue weight gain.
