How can Herbal Vitality help me?
If you tried to
get all the protein you need from foods such as cheese, you would
consume too many calories, because these protein rich foods
come with extra fat calories.
Protein-enriched
meal replacement shakes, Protein Supplement Powder and High Protein Low
Carbohydrate snack products, contain protein sources which are easily
absorbed and assimilated, and which allow you to reach your body's protein
requirements without those unwanted calories.
Easy and convenient
to follow the programme, so will fit into a busy lifestyle. For example,
easy to take a shake for breakfast (in milk or juice or yoghurt) to help
balance blood sugar levels, rather than skip breakfast altogether.
Its fast food for smart people!

And for those
concerned about Cholesterol levels? The inclusion of at least 25g
Soya protein per day as part a diet low in saturated fats can help
reduce blood cholesterol. Two
shakes
provide 17.8 g of soya protein(71% of the suggested intake of 25 g). An
additional 7.2 grams may be obtained from other foods, such as soy plus
a serving of
Soy
nuts(10.6
g soya protein per 90g serving or
Protein supplement powder
(4.5g soya protein/6g serving) can provide over 25g of soya protein.
Protein comes in
the form of meat, soy products, cheese and dairy products. However, most
of these are in the form of animal proteins, which add greatly to the
bad cholesterol in our bodies. Therefore we need to look for high quality
proteins, in our diet, from non-animal sources.
