Healthy food
Innovation and research for functional nutrition
GLOBAL CHANGE
IS NEEDED
The epidemic of overweight and diabetes highlights a lack of food awareness, underlining the importance of promoting a culture of well-being through conscious food choices, in line with the concept of "Healthy Food". A study in The Lancet suggests that more fiber would reduce mortality by 30%, while EFSA and FDA warn about low fiber intake in Europe and America.
With 2 billion obese people and 450 million diabetics globally, Italy presents an alarming situation with 1 out of 4 children prone to obesity. In our country, 4 million diabetics and 6.5 million pre-diabetics (95% type 2) are experiencing a growing crisis. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, with dietary changes, is crucial to maintaining health.
THE PASSION FOR INNOVATION
Our story starts from a long experience in the milling industry: it was precisely when concern about "white poisons" - flour, sugar, salt and milk - spread throughout the world that Francesca and Franco Varvello dedicated themselves to the optimization of innovative technologies to improve both the nutritional profile of the products and their environmental impact. From this passionate commitment the mission of Heallo was born: we free and make bioavailable functional fibers and antioxidants already present in nature, creating innovative foods and supplements with a high nutraceutical value.
“The doctor of the future will not prescribe medicines, but will motivate his patients to take care of their body, follow a correct diet and prevent diseases.”
Thomas A. Edison, 1903
COMMITMENT TO RESEARCH
FUNCTIONAL SOLUBLE FIBERS
We extract soluble fibers such as Arabinoxylan from by-products of the agro-industrial supply chains of the vegetable sector.
DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL PRODUCTS
LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX FOODS
Thanks to the integration of functional soluble fibres we obtain low glycemic index foods without modifying the organoleptic qualities
INGREDIENTS FOR FOOD AND SUPPLEMENTS
We provide soluble plant fibres for the food and pharmaceutical industries
