miniCol - proven to reduce cholesterol
Make miniCol, the healthy cheese alternative, part of your diet this year if you're on a mission to reduce your cholesterol levels. Eating 65 grams of miniCol per day, in just one or two meals, and as part of a healthy balanced diet, is proven to reduce cholesterol. So for those of you who are looking for ways to lower your blood cholesterol or to help others – look no further.
miniCol, is made from all natural ingredients – including high quantities of plant sterols and polyunsaturated 'good fats' – that can easily be integrated into your diet, allowing you to enjoy the great taste of cheddar again, be it in hot or cold dishes, and without having to worry about your cholesterol levels.
What is miniCol?
miniCol looks and tastes like cheddar cheese and is made in the same way as traditional forms. The key difference is that in miniCol the dairy fat is replaced with wheatgerm oil, which is naturally high in polyunsaturated fats (good fat) and plant sterols. Both of which are known to reduce cholesterol.
Contrary to popular belief some fats are good for your health, particularly when combined with a healthy balanced diet. Therefore sticking to foods naturally high in polyunsaturated 'good' fats and limiting the intake of saturated 'bad' fats will decrease the risk of heart problems.
Plant sterols in particular help to lower cholesterol by blocking the absorption of cholesterol from the diet and also by blocking the re-absorption of cholesterol produced by the liver.
So simply eating 65g of miniCol a day, in just one or two hot or cold meals, combined with a healthy balanced diet, will reduce blood cholesterol.
Why was it developed?
Over the years a lot of people have been denied the pleasure of eating cheese because of high cholesterol. miniCol has been developed to allow these people to enjoy the taste of cheddar again; whether sliced in a sandwich or used in various recipes, miniCol is the perfect cheese alternative for those who worry about their cholesterol levels.
Who is the product suitable for?
miniCol is suitable for all health conscious people, but essentially it is a great product for those people who are concerned about cholesterol levels and therefore have chosen or been advised to avoid cheese for health reasons.
How can I incorporate miniCol into my diet?
miniCol is a great healthy alternative to cheddar. Clinical studies have proven that incorporating 65g of miniCol a day, into one or two meals, and as part of a healthy balanced diet, reduces cholesterol levels.
Whether you grate, melt, slice or dice miniCol, it looks and tastes like traditional cheddar and can be put into your favourite foods as a healthy alternative to hard cheese. Just replace your regular cheese with miniCol and benefit from reduced cholesterol levels.
