Love Your Heart

Ok ladies, time to stop thinking about heart disease as a "man's disease." It’s just not true. A whopping 43% of Canadian women have unhealthy cholesterol levels, and cardiovascular disease kills more Canadians than any other illness. Luckily for us, there are some easy steps to help reduce the risks. Start by including 25 g a day of psyllium fibre in your diet. Psyllium is one of nature's best sources of soluble fibre, helping to balance blood sugar and lower cholesterol. So this Valentines Day, give yourself and your loved ones the gift of a healthy heart with this pysllium-packed cereal. Not only does it taste delicious (a sweet maple flavour will even have kids hooked), but clinical studies have proven that eating cereals with psyllium daily, as part of a healthy diet, can lower bad cholesterol up to 10% in just four weeks! So spread the love and stay healthy. For more information visit psyllium.ca.
