In 4 Ways Naturally

Drink your BiosLife 10 mins before each meal and this is how it works in 4 ways:-

1. Blocks Re-absorption of Cholesterol from your diet

As food enters the intestinal tract, bile acids are released to break down the fat. The liver uses cholesterol to produce bile acids. After the bile acids digest the fats, they are reabsorbed back into the body.

BiosLife enters the intestinal tract and the 5 different fibers (guar gum, gum arabic, locust bean gum, pectin, oat fiber), from a matrix gel that traps the bile acids after they have digested the fats, and later removes them through your bowels.

Because the level of bile acids drops after every meal, your liver will make more bile acids, using the existing cholesterol in your blood stream.

This method was successfully used in BiosLife2 our first product, for 20 years.

2. Blocks Absorption of Cholesterol from your Food.

Sunflower oil and Soya Bean oil are rich in Phytosterols – plant sterols. These phytosterols cannot be absorbed by the body and thus block the sterol receptors in the intestinal tract, from absorbing Cholesterol - animal sterols. Each sachet of BiosLife has 67mg of phytosterols, sufficient to block cholesterol from each meal.

3. Reduces Cholesterol production by the Liver

The liver makes cholesterol using an enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. Statin drugs chemically block this enzyme unnaturally, causing long term liver & kidney damage. Ask any stain drug user today to verify if they have to check for liver or kidney damage every 10 months!.

Sugarcane has a natural plant chemical called Policosanol, which has been found to naturally reduce this enzyme, thus causing the liver to slow down the cholesterol production.

4. Breakdown and Removes LDL from your blood stream

Chrysanthemum flower has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese cures. Unicity’s research has developed a method, to stimulate the enzyme that breaksdown and removes LDL from your bloodstream.


Drink your Bioslife 10 mins before every meal, because you can naturally lower your heart attack and stroke risk, especially if you are above 35 - for men or 45 - for women.

The next 3 minutes could save your life!

You’ve just had a massive heart attack…

These are your last 3 minutes to live – all the time you have left before your brain stops functioning.

What will you do with your last 3 minutes?

Will you call 911?. Will you think about your work, business, spouse, children or grandchildren?. Will you think about all the things you’ve done or all the things you had hoped to do?

Will you wonder if there was anything you could have done to avoid having a heart attack?

Time Remaining: 2:30

Could All This Have Been Prevented?

Sadly, one American and one Asian dies. every 30 seconds from cardiovascular disease – often in the form of a heart attack. That’s 3,500 every day who experienced their last 3 minutes.

In fact, if you have 2 best friends, one of you will die from cardiovascular disease.

What’s more distressing – almost all heart attacks are preventable!

Time Remaining: 2:00

You May Not Know Your Risk Until It’s Too Late

Heart attacks are caused by a build-up of plaque in your arteries. This plaque is caused by too much bad and too little good cholesterol in your blood. When plaque ruptures, blood clots form that lead to a heart attack or stroke.

More than 50% of all adults above 35, have too high bad LDL and too little good HDL cholesterol. Do you know your numbers?

The first indication that there is a problem with your cholesterol levels, is a heart attack, stroke, and death or worse semi-paralysis.

A Revolutionary Breakthrough

Fortunately, the build-up of plaque can be slowed, stopped and even reversed – thanks to BiosLife.

In fact many clinical studies have proven the benefits of BiosLife

A Safe, More Effective Solution

Over the past 10 years, major drug companies have introduced ‘statin drugs’ to lower bad LDL cholesterol. Although statins are effective for many, these drugs jam the liver to slow the production of cholesterol – causing well documented liver and kidney damage in the process. Other side-effects include muscle damage, memory loss and erectile dysfunction.

Surprised when healthy people have a heart attack?

Does it surprise you when seemingly healthy people you know have a heart attack?

I am sure you have heard of many healthy people, who suddenly have a heart attack. Or read about the 30+ guy who went for a movie and after the movie, his girl friend found him dead from a heart attack. Wonder if it was such a scary movie.

Or about my acquaintance, the Avis owner, a health freak who runs daily, doesn’t smoke and had a heart attack and died in his early 50’s while jungle trekking.

Or my cousin in his early 40’s who had a massive heart attack in his sleep, leaving behind a widow, a 2 year old son and a new restaurant that was forced to close.

Most heart attacks occur on a Monday morning in your sleep. So before you go to bed tonight, sit on the edge of your bed, put your hand on your heart and ask yourself this:-

“Is tonight the night?. Have I put my financial affairs in order and said goodbye to my loved ones?”

Or will you make an effort to prevent a disaster from affecting yourself and your loved ones

We can either save our money today, to spend it all the last 3 days of our life, or invest in our health today with BiosLife, add years to our life, and life to our years.

Life is all about the simple choices we make daily. And I hope that because you love yourself and your family, you will make the right choice today and go get your blood test done!.

It's hard to sacrifice the food you love

25% of your cholesterol comes from your diet, with 75% being made by your liver. Now you know why sacrificing your favourite high cholesterol food like prawns, lobster, squid, oyster omelette, Nasi Lemak, Hokkien Mee & Curry Laksa, has not really helped lower your cholesterol.

You hear stories or advertisements of oats or other products that claim to reduce cholesterol. But only if this claim can be clinically proven, presented at a Cardiology Convention and accepted by its members, can it finally be approved for inclusion in the Physicians Desk Reference – the most trusted source for products by 95% of all doctors and pharmacists.

BiosLife is listed in this book, together with the Statin Drugs for cholesterol lowering. Now you know Bioslife is as good as statin drugs and your doctor should offer you a safer and natural alternative.

So will you choose BiosLife because you want to

a) manage healthy cholesterol levels or
b) manage healthy blood sugar levels or
c) manage healthy blood pressure levels or
d) trim your waist and lose some weight or
e) prevent colon cancer or
f) enjoy better energy levels after lunch and dinner or
g) sleep better at night, knowing you won’t have a heart attack in your sleep.

Only 4 types of people will read this

1. Those of you who already know you have a cholesterol problem and are using some statin drugs – contributing to the US$ 30 billion statin drug industry in 2007 or
2. Those of you who already know you have a problem, but have yet to start on your statin drugs or belong to the 90% of those who have stopped using statin drugs because of the severe side effects or
3. Those of you who know you have a high risk, due to your age (above 35 male or 45 female) sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits and stress at work and at home or
4. Those who have no clue what their cholesterol levels are, and are a walking time bomb – waiting for the first and often fatal sign.

I am sure you are like most people, we only go to the doctor when we don’t feel well – not when we feel ok. Little aches and pains are dismissed as signs of aging, and not a warning sign that something is not right and the body’s warning bells and lights are tell you so.

Do your spouse, your parents and your siblings a favour, because you love your kids. Get them to go for their blood test every 6 months especially if they smoke or are obese, diabetic, stressed or eat oily food with less than 8 servings of fresh fruits and fresh vegetables daily

BiosLife is clinically proven to work. Are you ready to take the 90 day Bioslife Challenge, because you want to prove it works for you?

Critical age when women's risk exceed men

Critical age when women's risk, exceed men's

.

(Red bars indicate Males and Green bars indicate Females)

.

Below the age of 45, men have a higher risk oc CardioVascular Disease (CVD).

.

But from ages 45-54, women have the same CVD risk as men, due to hormonal changes during the premenopause and menopause phases.

.

From age 55 -75+, women have recorded a higher risk of CVD then men.

.

Surprised by these results?. Don't be, as it happens in most families today. My grandma had a stroke at 58 and my mum had a first and fatal heart attack at 71.

.

Please if you are a lady, think of your children and do your blood test today, before you become another sad statistic. Remember also to take your sisters, mother and aunts to get their blood tests done.

Your One and Only Heart!

Your One and Only Heart!

Heart Facts

Your heart is the size of your clenched fist and weighs about 350 to 450 grams.. It pumps about 80 cc of blood per heart beat. With an

average heart beat of 70 per minute, the heart pumps 8 thousand liters of blood daily.

Here are the main components of your heart, how you can protect it and your natural solutions should you fail to take early prevention.

AORTA

The main artery that receives blood from the left side of the heart and circulate it through the rest of the body. The blood in aorta is rich in oxygen and will appear bright red.

PULMONARY ARTERY

This artery carries blood from right side of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. As the blood passes through small blood vessels in the lungs, it will take up oxygen. Cleanse your blood cells by detoxing your liver twice a year with Red Clover Pus - a unique formulation of 14 herbs. http://www.usa.makelifebetter.com/systems/profile/profile_17174.pdf

CORONARY ARTERIES

These are small arteries running on the surface of the heart, supplying the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients. There are usually three main coronary arteries supplying the heart.

The many risk factors for coronary artery disease are:
Smoking
High blood pressure
Diabetes mellitus
Family history

But the Major risk factor is High LDL and Low HDL cholesterol levels

Keep your arteries clean of plaque buildup, hardening and or narrowing of your arteries, by lowering your LDL and increasing your HDL. BiosLife - Listed in the Physicians Desk Reference 2006, will lower your LDL and raise your HDL. http://usa.makelifebetter.com/systems/profile/BLC_PdtProfile.pdf

HEART MUSCLES

Also called myocytes. These muscle cells pumps blood in and out of the heart during its contraction. If the oxygen and nutrient supply is cut, the muscles weaken, you tire easily and feel weak. And when these muscles die, you suffer a heart attack - sometimes first and fatal.

There is no know drug to regenerate weak or dead heart muscles, except a product called Cardio Essentials - Listed in the Physicians Desk Reference 2006 issue.
http://usa.makelifebetter.com/systems/profile/profile_15271.pdf

GREAT VEINS

These veins, return poorly oxygenated blood from the body to the right side of the heart. Blood from upper parts returns via SVC (superior vena cava) and from the lower parts via IVC (inferior vena cava).

HEART VALVES

The heart has 4 cardiac valves that separate the various chambers. Acting like a door, it allows blood flow only in one direction. Due to poor lifestyle, sometimes heart valves weaken and a valve replacement surgery is recommended. Before you decide on this expensive approach, try Cardio Essentials for 2 months and you can save thousands on your surgery, not to mention the risk for complications.

SUMMARY

Heart disease could be silent in the early stage, as women experience pains in the lower abdomen and misdiagnose it as gastritis. Do undergo a yearly physical examination and stress test, especially if you are above 45.

What the numbers mean

Congratulations on taking the first step on protecting
your heart health and getting your blood test done!

Here's what the actual results mean, according to the
latest guidelines of the American Heart Association.

There are 5 numbers, that you should be concerned about:

1. Total Blood Cholesterol Level

Healthy.......... less 5.18 mmol/L........ 200mg/dl
Borderline...... 5.18 to 6.19 mmol/L... 200 - 239 mg/dl
High Risk........ more 6.21 mmol/L..... 240 mg/dl

2. HDL Cholesterol - the most important risk factor!

The good cholesterol that clears up the bad LDL cholesterol.
Every 1% increase in HDL, reduces your risk of Heart Attack
and Stroke by 3%. Statin drugs cannot increase HDL levels!

Borderline - men...... more 1.0 mmol/L...... 40 mg/dl
Borderline - women.. more 1.2 mmol/L..... 50 mg/dl

3. Triclyceride level

Level of fats in your blood that can clog up your arteries

Healthy..................... less 1.7 mmol/L....... 150 mg/dl
Moderate Risk............ 1.7 - 2.3 mmol/L......150 - 199 mg/dl
High Risk................... 2.3 - 5.6 mmol/L..... 200 - 499 mg/dl
Extreme High Risk...... more 5.6 mmol/L.... 500 mg/dl

4. LDL Cholesterol

Every 1% drop in LDL reduces your risk of Heart Attack
and Stroke by 2%

Optimal.................... less 2.6 mmol/L.... 100 mg/dl
Healthy.................... 2.6 - 3.2 mmol/L... 101 - 129 mg/dl
Low Risk.................. 3.3 - 4.0 mmol/L... 130 - 159 mg/dl
High Risk................. 4.1 - 4.8 mmol/L.... 160 - 189 mg/dl
Extreme High Risk.... more 4.9 mmol/L... 190 mg/dl

5. Cholesterol Ratio

This ratio is the Total Cholesterol divided by the HDL
cholesterol. The 2 best approaches to lower this ratio
is to increase HDL at the same time lower your LDL.

Healthy..................... 3.5:1
Borderline................. 5.0:1
Extreme High Risk..... above 5.1:1

Statin drugs can reduce LDL, but cannot increase HDL levels.

BiosLife within 8 weeks, can reduce LDL by 31%
& increase HDL by 29% - safely & naturally.

BiosLife - the only safe, patented, clinically proven health
drink, as good as statin drugs, but without the side effects!

Choose life, Choose BiosLife!

Is Tonight the Night?

A heart attack or stroke is called the silent killer as 50% of
men and 64% of women had no prior symptoms.

With the first symptom being death, it affects not just the
victim's life, but the loved ones left behind so suddenly.
Even worse would be semi paralysis - cutting your life in half!.

Over 70% of all heart attack and stroke victims die in their
sleep, without even setting their financial affairs in order,
or saying goodbye to their loved ones.

The 7 leading causes of Heart attacks and strokes are
alcohol, lack of exercise, not enough fruits and vegetables,
obesity, hypertension and smoking with the
leading cause, being unhealthy cholesterol ratios.
So do you know your numbers?

So before you go to bed tonight, sit on the edge of your
bed, put your hand on your heart and ask yourself this
important question -

"Is tonight the night, have I set my finances in
order and said goodbye to my loved ones?."

Or you can do what most smart people do - they prevent
this tragedy and the stress of semi paralysis, expensive
surgery, life long medical treatment, painful side effects,
mental anguish of your children and troubling your loved
ones.

Study shows Heart Disease No 1 killer of women

The Star Newspaper - Malaysia
Monday December 11, 2006

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/12/11/nation/16284171&sec=nation

Study shows heart disease is No 1 killer of women

KUALA LUMPUR: A study by the Health Ministry from
1990 to 2005 has revealed a 135% increase in heart
disease among women, said Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.

She said that last year, 22.5% of deaths among women
were due to cardiovascular heart disease.

“Heart disease is the number one killer of Malaysian
women, not breast cancer,” she said at the launch of
the website http://www.go-red.info/, which aims to create
more awareness about heart disease among women.

Rosmah, who is patron of the Go-Red Campaign,
pointed out that 46% of women around the age of 50
suffered from heart disease compared with 10% from
breast cancer.

Also 31% of women around that age had died of heart
disease while only 3% died from breast cancer.

“I hope the Health Ministry will lay out more aggressive
campaigns to create greater awareness on this issue,” she said.

National Heart Institute consultant cardiologist Datuk
Seri Dr Robaayah Zambahari, who is the Go-Red campaign
advisor, said the lack of awareness about heart disease
among women was not just among the general public but
also healthcare providers.

“As a result, women tend to receive less treatment than
men,” she said. Dr Robaayah said while men tended to
experience pains on the left side of the chest during a
heart attack, women mostly had difficulty
breathing and experienced pain on the upper
part of the abdomen, which is sometimes
mistaken for gastritis.

Among the women, who have a higher risk of getting
heart disease were those who had reached menopause,
led a sedentary lifestyle, were obese, diabetics and smokers.

Beware the women killer
