Help Lower Cholesterol with AIM Fit ‘n Fiber

Study: Indicates that soluble fiber lowers cholesterol and reduces risk of heart disease.

Risk of prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, and more can be lessened with lower cholesterol, according to recent studies. High levels of good cholesterol and low total cholesterol was found to be associated with 60 percent less risk of certain cancers.

The findings are good news for AIM Members. One of AIM’s newest products, AIM fit ‘n fiber, helps fight bad cholesterol thanks to heart-healthy soluble fiber.

A key factor in the digestion process of fiber is the distinction between soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like substance, which then swells and prevents rapid absorption of glucose and cholesterol into the bloodstream. Insoluble fiber acts more as a colon cleanser, moving through the intestine in roughly the same state as when it entered the body. 

A recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that a soluble fiber supplement induced satiety and had beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease risk factors, the most important of which was a significant decrease in plasma LDL-cholesterol.  Soluble fiber inhibits bile recycling in the intestinal tract.  Bile, which is formed from cholesterol, is pulled into the feces for eliminations rather than accumulating in the blood.

The high soluble fiber content in fit ‘n fiber helps make the product a key part to a healthy diet and exercise lifestyle as well as a supporting component to the Healthy Cell Concept. For best results, make sure to drink plenty of water and to include fit ‘n fiber as part of your regular diet and exercise regimen.
