IQBar Health Benefits

Note: As a pre-packaged snack, I love this satiation factor. I prefer cooking my meals with whole foods, however, this isn’t always possible, especially when traveling. Having a clean ingredient, hunger-satiating treat on hand really helps me stay on track.

So, if you need a small snack to hold you over til your next meal or you want to lessen your appetite to that you eat less, the IQ Bar could be the perfect solution.

Do IQBars Really Boost Brain Function?

Do IQBars Make You Smarter?Whether you actually feel the difference in your increased mental capacity depends on you. In other words, some people experience better focus and mental clarity while others do not.

That said, you can’t argue that these brainpower bars don’t contain some good brain food. Not to mention, healthy nutrients that can help your body in numerous ways.

For example, Vitamin E is important for our vision, skin and blood too. It also has antioxidant properties that may help fight off free radicals which can lead to disease.

Flavonoids fight free radicals as well. As a result, they have anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits.

So, is the IQBar Paleo?

Paleo Food Pyramid - Foods to Eat on a Paleo DietAlthough this bar contains healthy, natural ingredients without sugar, dairy or grains, we don’t consider it Paleo due to some of the processed ingredients. (For example, pea protein, protein crisps and tapioca fiber).

That said, many Paleo enthusiasts aren’t super-strict with their diet regimen. They ultimately want what’s best for their health, food that tastes good and a diet they can stick to.

Often this comes down to an 80-20 approach, where 80% of your meals are Paleo, while the other 20% may not be. The IQ protein bar falls into this category of “Paleo-Friendly”.
