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.
NH Oat Plus 26 is sold exclusively at all Watsons outlets nationwide and is priced at RM69.90 for a tin of 900g.
