February is Heart Month

ST. LOUIS, MO: February is Heart Month, so be good to your heart - with ExtendSnacks!

You may already know that ExtendSnacks are great for controlling blood sugar, but did you know that they are just as good for your heart?

ExtendSnacks have the nutrition recommended for heart health:

• Low in fat and saturated fat
• 0g Trans fat
• Good source of fiber
• Loaded with soy protein
• Cholesterol free

According to the American Heart Association®...

"Diabetes is a major risk factor for stroke and coronary heart disease, which includes heart attack. People with diabetes may avoid or delay heart and blood vessel disease by controlling other risk factors."

"It's especially important to control weight and blood cholesterol with a low-saturated-fat, low-cholesterol diet and regular exercise."

ExtendSnacks may help you lower your risk factors day after day: they are easy to keep on hand, tasty to snack on, and provide the nutrition that leading professionals recommend for both blood sugar control and heart health.

Soy Protein and Your Heart

Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease.

ExtendSnacks are packed with soy protein. One serving of ExtendBar Delight has 11-12 grams of protein, one serving of ExtendCrisps has 7-8 grams, and one ExtendShake has 15 grams of protein.
