Let food be
your medicine
 


o doubt, our daily food choices have a powerful impact on our health. Make choices that support healthy cholesterol by including plant sterols in your daily menu.

These natural plant fats are proven in studies to help  reduce serum total and LDL (harmful) cholesterol levels. Present in breads, cereals, fruits and vegetables, they are most abundant in vegetable oils, legumes and nuts. While plant sterols are already part of our natural diet, Health Canada approved sterols as food additives in 2010. Research shows that adding two grams of plant sterols to your daily food intake could reduce cholesterol levels by 10%.

Up to 50% of Canadians have high blood cholesterol levels and rely on statin medications to keep levels under control. In addition to these medications, dietary sterols provide extra benefits; include a healthy diet with this cholesterol therapy combo to enjoy a 40% reduction in cholesterol levels.



Add plant sterol-enriched foods to your daily menu, in choices like milk and yogourt.  H&L
