Details
Whatever your age, lifestyle factors can play a big part in raising your cholesterol. Take control of your health in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Eat well
Reduce your intake of trans and saturated fats with simple food swaps:
- Wholegrains over white bread/pasta.
- Oily fish or lean poultry over processed or red meat.
- Nuts, seeds or soy beans over ready-to-eat snacks like crisps.
Step 2: Get active
Being active helps to increase the good cholesterol (HDL) in your blood. It stimulates the movement of fatty deposits to the liver, which helps to keep the heart and blood vessels in good condition. 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week is all you need (30 minutes, 5 days per week).
Step 3: Boost your diet
High in fibre and a source of protein, one serving of Beta heart also provides 1.5g beta-glucans; a soluble fibre found in the oat bran from oats, which helps to lower or maintain your cholesterol.
Usage
Add 1 or 2 scoops of Beta heart powder to a glass of water or fruit juice, or mix it with your favourite Formula 1 shake to create a healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner.
