Right Direction Cookies’ original recipe uses natural ingredients to remove cholesterol from the body two ways. The delicious chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin varieties remove cholesterol from foods before it can get to arteries to build up and cause coronary heart disease. This removal is due to key amounts of plant sterols (1.3 g per serving) which block absorption of cholesterol, and soluble fiber (4 grams per serving) which absorb cholesterol and saturated fat, carrying them out of the body. Right Direction Cookies promote the removal of LDL “bad” cholesterol from the blood too! The cookies’ ingredients cause a response in the body to use excessive cholesterol in the blood for needed processes in the body, such as making the digestive juices known as bile. This reduction of cholesterol in the blood can be seen in lab results within 4 weeks of regular consumption of Right Direction Cookies. How do Right Direction Cookies alleviate GI problems? Soluble fiber can help numerous gastrointestinal disorders, including: constipation, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhoids, Crohn’s disease, and diverticulosis. Unlike any other food category, soluble fiber soothes and regulates the digestive tract, stabilizes the intestinal contractions resulting from the gastrocolic reflex, and normalizes bowel function. The "soluble" in soluble fiber means that it dissolves in water. This allows it to absorb excess liquid in the colon, preventing diarrhea by forming a thick gel and adding a great deal of bulk as it passes intact through the gut. This gel also keeps the GI muscles stretched gently around a full colon, giving those muscles something to easily "grip" during peristaltic contractions, thus preventing the rapid transit time and explosive bowel movements of diarrhea as well. By the same token, the full gel-filled colon (as opposed to a colon tightly clenched around dry, hard, impacted stools) provides the same "grip" during the muscle waves of constipation sufferers, allowing for an easier and faster transit time, and the passage of the thick wet gel also effectively relieves constipation by softening and pushing through impacted fecal matter. How do Right Direction Cookies help consumers lose weight? Right Direction Cookies are a high fiber snack and an excellent weight loss tool. Our customers find that Right Direction Cookies are the filling and satisfying snack that helps them to naturally eat less during the day! Our regular consumers who have weight to lose report that they typically lose about 3 pounds per month without making any other changes! Right Direction Cookies, Diabetes and Glucose Control? Right Direction Cookies have a very low glycemic load due to the high amounts of soluble fiber in them (4 grams in each cookie!). They are suitable for most diabetic diets. A clinical study done recently at University of Connecticut showed that people who included 2 Right Direction Cookies each day had fasting blood glucose levels about 4 points lower than those who did not eat the cookies. These subjects were not diabetic, but many of our diabetic clients find that a Right Direction Cookie is a good choice for a bedtime snack and often see decreases on fasting blood glucose when including them in their daily diet. Because each cookie contains 24 grams of carbohydrates, we typically recommend that diabetics consume the recommended 2 cookies per day one at a time....one as an afternoon snack and one before bedtime. |
