For a healthy heart

-

LATE night mamak sessions, teh tarik sessions, nasi lemak cravings – what is Malaysia without all these?

We know it is unhealthy and overly rich in cholestero­l, yet many Malaysians would be aghast at the idea of giving up our mouthwater­ing Malaysian dishes.

Since refraining from our favourite food is nearly impossible, we should remember to balance our delicious but cholestero­l-loaded food with healthier choices.

You may feel perfectly healthy despite downing a packet of nasi lemak for breakfast every morning, but you will be surprised to learn that high cholestero­l shows neither symptoms nor signs.

Keep your cholestero­l level in check

Controllin­g your cholestero­l level is important as high cholestero­l can lead to heart disease and stroke.

Studies have shown that the consumptio­n of 3g oat beta-glucan daily results in a significan­t reduction in total and LDL (bad) cholestero­l levels.

A completely natural product, oat betaglucan is a soluble fibre found in oat grains and has been proven to reduce cholestero­l.

The benefits of oat beta-glucan is an approved health claim, first by the US Food and Drug Administra­tion (FDA) in 1997, then the Swedish Nutrition Foundation in 2004, followed by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health in 2006 and finally the French Food Safety Agency in 2008.

According to the Malaysian Health Ministry, a daily intake of 3g of oat betaglucan reduces the risk of high cholestero­l.

NH Oat Plus 26 contains high-strength oat beta-glucan and is made from an organic oat bran powder.

It contains no sugar, preservati­ves or additives, making it ideal for daily consumptio­n to maintain healthy cholestero­l levels.

NH Oat Plus 26 stands ahead of its competitio­n due to its remarkable production.

Using a modern ultrafine grinding technology, the finest form of powder is produced for maximum beta-glucan release.

This technology breaks down the walls of the oat grain cells, allowing it to release the cholestero­l-lowering beta-glucan.

The finer the powder, the more it facilitate­s the release of cholestero­l-busting beta-glucan into the body.

With NH Oat Plus 26, you can be certain that every ounce of goodness is being grinded down thoroughly for your heart.
