Maintaining a healthy heart
They've made the switch to help lower their cholesterol, because eating pro.activ as part of a healthy diet is clinically proven to lower levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol in the blood. And having low blood cholesterol is vital for maintaining a healthy heart.
But did you know that the special cholesterol-lowering ingredient in pro.activ – plant sterols – occurs naturally in fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds? It works naturally with your body by reducing the amount of cholesterol you absorb into your bloodstream.
Sterol solution?
So why not just eat lots of fruit and vegetables, instead of a product that has sterols added? Well you should definitely eat plenty of fruit and vegetables as part of a healthy diet, but you'd have to eat 4kg of broccoli, 9kg of apples or 15kg of cabbage to consume the same amount of sterols you'd get from just 20 grams of pro.activ spread. And that's an awful lot of fibre!
The great thing about pro.activ products – which now include a milk drink, yogurt and one-a-day dairy drinks – is that you can enjoy them as part of your normal daily diet.
All pro.activ foods are created specifically for people who want to lower their cholesterol and are clinically proven to actively lower LDL cholesterol levels in most people – with reductions starting within just two weeks of regular use.
It's a good idea to ask your doctor about your levels so that you, like millions of others, can start actively managing your cholesterol and looking after your heart health.
