Unicity's Bios Life gains wide coverage in Mingguan Malaysia

Mingguan Malaysia, Malaysia (March 13, 2005) Malaysia is a food paradise and you may not be surprised to find sumptuous food conveniently anywhere, anytime. Due to busy and hectic lifestyles, majority of people tend to grab any processed and refined food that is easily available which can lead to poor diet and lack of fiber intake.

Fiber is a non-nutritious part of plant foods (fruits, vegetables and whole grain products) that passes through the bowels undigested. Despite its lack of nutrients, fiber plays an important role in digestion and elimination. Fiber comes in two forms, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber absorbs up to 15 times its weight in water as it moves through your digestive tract absorbing toxins and producing softer stools. It is most abundant in whole grains like oats, legumes and fruits. Insoluble fiber is found in vegetables and whole grains and gives stool its bulk.

Studies in Principles of Anatomy & Physiology shows that if we consume enough fiber in our daily diet, the risk of being diagnosed with diseases such as heart attack, diabetes, cancer and obesity will be comparably lower.

Unfortunately, many people don't get enough fiber. To boost your daily fiber intake and promote overall health, some experts suggest increasing the intake of complex carbohydrate. Other options include replacing some meals with high fiber replacement meals such as Bios Life 2® from Unicity - A unique, fiber-rich nutrient mix that can support healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Studies show that fiber can actually block the synthesis of cholesterol in the body as well as prevent re-absorption of bile acids from small intestine. There is also evidence to suggest that soluble fibers may help slow the absorption of glucose in the gastrointestinal system. Bios Life 2® is a special fiber complex of guar gum, locust bean gum, pectin, oat fiber, and gum acacia.

By consuming a diet that's low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in fruits and vegetables along with Bios Life 2® is a good source of dietary fiber-you may lower your blood cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart diseases. Bios Life 2® features a proprietary matrix of fibers under patent Nos. 4,883,788 and 4,824,672 for the "Method and Composition for Reducing Serum Cholesterol."

Another important ingredient in Bios Life 2® is ChromeMate®, a unique form of the essential nutrient chromium. It contains oxygen-coordinated, niacin-bound chromium (polynicotinate), which is a highly bio-available form of this nutrient.

In addition, Bios Life 2® can help curb your appetite by giving you a pleasant, full feeling when consumed before meals. Bios Life 2® is a natural way to control your appetite while nourishing your body with important nutrients needed for multiple systems that promote the body's overall health and well-being.

Bios Life 2® also contains antioxidant vitamins C and E, which have been proven to protect cells from free radical damage. It also supplies key nutrients such as beta-carotene, calcium, zinc, and a complex of B vitamins that promote the body's overall health and well-being.

Therefore, it is not only what you eat that's important, but also how much, how often and how regularly you eat is equally important. What you put on your plate each day has a profound effect on the state of your overall health and wellness in the days to come.
