Guardian Mixed Grains & Oats 30+ For A Better Health

Hi! Whether you are health-conscious or not, I sincerely hope that this post could motivate you to be a little more health-conscious. Do you know we Malaysians are in the midst of a chronic health crisis? Each year, a whopping 9.6 million people have high blood cholesterol level, 6.1 million having hypertension and 3.5 million Malaysians having diabetes and more than 100,000 people suffering from cancer each year. It is believed that more than half of those living with NCDs like diabetes and high cholesterol level were not even aware of their health problem. 

That being said, my dear fellow Malaysians, it's time for you to start taking care of your health by adapting a healthy balanced diet and exercise regularly. Do you know that according to the Health Ministry survey, 94% of Malaysian adults do not eat enough fresh fruits and vegetable daily? Fibre is an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet and can help prevent heart disease, diabetes and also improve the digestive system.

In response to the worrying Malaysian health profile, Guardian has introduced the affordable, functional and convenient Guardian Mixed Grains & Oats 30+ to help Malaysians to get the fibre they need for better health. The nutrition and fibre-rich combination of imported Swedish oat bran powder packed with more than 30% oat beta-glucan is trans-fat free, without colouring and suitable for vegetarians. Beta-glucan is a soluble fibre that helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels and stabilise blood sugar levels. High blood cholesterol is one of the risk factors for heart disease and those with high blood cholesterol might not be aware of their high cholesterol level.  

 

With the Guardian Mixed Grains & Oats 30+, you'll have the benefits of beta-glucan from oats, chia seeds, barley and brown rice for your general well-being. It is extremely easy to prepare too. Just dissolves in luke-warm water for a fibre-rich drink with a pleasing roasted grain taste that helps to fill you up for longer. Each serving contains more than 30% oat beta-glucan. You also can use it in smoothies, beverages, as a topping for salads and yogurt, as a coating for fried and roasted meats and vegetables as well as a thickener in soup and porridge, without losing its nutritional value and ensuring better daily fibre intake. Wow... Amazing! Time to combat high cholesterol with Guardian Mixed Grains & Oats 30+.
