Natural fighter against cholesterol
WITH a national menu consisting of nasi lemak, roti canai and char kuay teow, it’s no wonder that Malaysians are among the most obese people in South-East Asia.
Rich in taste and no doubt delicious, these all-time favourites are unfortunately also rich in cholesterol.
But does that mean we have to give up our favourite foods? Most Malaysians probably won’t agree to that. There has to be a better solution.
What we need to do is to balance these delicious but cholesterolhigh dishes with healthier foods. And one of the best fighters when it comes to high cholesterol is oat beta glucan.
Oat beta glucan is a soluble fibre found in oat grains that effectively lowers cholesterol as well as regulates glucose levels in the body.
It lowers cholesterol by blocking it from getting absorbed from food into the digestive tract. That’s great news for those who love nasi lemak and roti canai.
If that’s not enough, the hardworking oat beta glucan also slows down the absorption of carbohydrates into the blood stream, ensuring that blood glucose levels are always in balance.
This means that eating foods with oat beta glucan lets one feel fuller for a longer period and helps to prevent one from overeating. So, you’re loving your heart and watching your weight, too.
But oat beta glucan also works in other ways, particularly when it comes to preventing cholesterol from getting stored in the body. Cholesterol helps the body absorb fat from foods. When the cholesterol breaks down, bile is released and both the cholesterol and bile usually get reabsorbed further down the digestive tract.
However, with oat beta glucan present, surrounding and trapping the bile and cholesterol, there’s just no way these substances can get back into the body. Instead, these heart-disease-causing troublemakers are flushed out of our system.
Still, there is one more way in which oat beta glucan helps in reducing cholesterol levels.
With less cholesterol being absorbed into the digestive tract, oat beta glucan actually causes the body to take cholesterol out of the blood stream and use it for digestion.
As a result, cholesterol levels in the blood stream are lowered as well.
Superior source of oat beta glucan
Where can one get a reliable source of oat beta glucan? With so many types of oat brands in the market, how does one know that one is getting the best? This is where NH Oat Plus 26 comes in.
NH Oat Plus 26 is all-natural and wholly organic, with no sugar, preservatives and additives added.
What’s more, no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers are used in its production, just good old soil and nourishing sunlight. In fact, the production process facilitates water conservation and decreases pollution.
Can NH Oat Plus 26 get any better than the competition? Yes, it can. Unlike some of the other brands in the market, NH Oat Plus 26 comes in the form of a fine powder. This is possible due to the state-of-the-art ultrafine grinding technology used in the production process.
Why use this state-of-the-art technology? Well, the finer the powder particles, the better the release of the beta glucan. In basic terms, the ultra-fine grinding breaks down the walls of the oat grain cells, allowing it to release the cholesterol-busting beta glucan.
