Secrets about our cookies:
These cookies have all the features that a snack should bring:
Low caloric content
High in soluble fibre
High in protein
Made with natural ingredients like rolled oats
Designer cookies provide multiple benefits thanks to its unique components:
High quality protein with maximum purity: Designer cookies contain the right amount of protein it should contain a healthy snack to prevent increased appetite and provide satiety. Designer cookies are of low glycemic index and do not increase blood glucose or insulin after being consumed. This helps prevent fat deposit
Protein content of cookies Designer includes soy and whey. Soy protein has been shown to have a cardiovascular protective effect because they reduce blood cholesterol and have phytoestrogens (phytochemicals that act like oestrogens). The daily recommendation is 25 grams. Each serving of cookies helps to achieve this requirement. This protein is extracted from soy beans and soy crisps that give a crunchy texture. Soybeans contain about 20% protein. These proteins are the only vegetable source that provides all essential amino acids.
Soy contains unique features as it is rich in soluble fibre, provides all the essential amino acids, free of cholesterol and lactose, low in fat, with omega 3 fatty acids and phytoestrogens. As a result, soybeans provide many health benefits that go beyond weight loss. They help lower blood pressure, reduce the typical symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, favours vasodilation increasing blood circulation, reduce the risk of osteoporosis by stimulating bone-forming cells, reduce the risk of endometriosis and reduce blood concentration of LDL (bad cholesterol). Finally, thanks to its content of omega 3 fats they help increase HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), which exerts protective cardiovascular effect.
Whey proteins from milk are very high quality proteins because they contain all the essential amino acids and the body can take almost entirely. For this reason, they are excellent to repair damaged tissue, recover muscle and bone tissues, transporting essential substances in blood, being part of compounds involved in various biological functions such as enzymes, etc.
Designer Cookies are rich in fibre. Fibber is the indigestible part of plants that behaves as a residue in the body. There is a water-soluble fibre and insoluble fibre. The first is found in the pulp of fruits, rolled oats, citrus fruits, strawberries, broccoli, potatoes and legumes. The second concentrates on bran cereals, nuts and seeds. Both types of fibre are concentrated in Designer cookies thus, providing multiple benefits like lowering cholesterol, increasing satiety, accelerating intestinal transit, reducing glucose uptake and even reducing risk of several types of cancer.
Designer Cookies also contain Chia seeds that provide omega 6 and omega 3 fats in a ratio recommended by international organizations. Chia seeds contain many nutrients and micronutrients that transform them into a “superfood” capable of reducing the risk of chronic diseases and increase health and vitality.
Designer Cookies also contain rolled oats, natural source of fibres that are ideal for reducing food intake. In addition, provide vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and essential amino acids.
The suggested health benefits of whole soy foods include:
- Lowered blood pressure
- Soybeans are thought to be of some health benefit to menopausal women. Soybeans contain hormone-like substances called phytoestrogens ('phyto' means plant). More research is needed, but soybeans seem to offer promise in helping some women to manage menopausal hot flushes.
- Improvements to blood vessels, such as greater elasticity of artery walls
- Reduced risk of osteoporosis
- Protection against various cancers, including those of the breast, colon, prostate and skin
- Management of endometriosis
- Soybeans have been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels as well as lipoproteins, both known risk factors for heart disease
Whey protein
Whey protein is a very high quality complete protein with rich amounts of all the essential amino acids which are the "building blocks" for healthy bodies. Protein has a number of different roles including:
- Repair body cells
- Build and repair muscles and bones
- Provide a source of energy
- Control many of the important processes in the body related to metabolism
Fibre
Many women have a difficult time finding good sources of fibre and actually including sufficient amounts of fibre in their diets - Slim Secrets is a great solution. Fibre is defined as a carbohydrate that cannot be completely digested and is classified into soluble and insoluble; both are important to a healthy diet. Soluble fibre is found in fruits, nuts, vegetables, oats and more and has been proven to help reduce cholesterol while slowing digestion in the stomach keeping blood sugar levels consistent. Insoluble fibre helps keep the digestive system moving and can be found in whole wheat, wheat bran and many vegetables.
Both forms of fibre can be found in Slim Secrets in our rolled oats, chia seeds, nuts, dried fruits, proteins and more!
