And according to historians, the earliest formal civilizations thrived almost exclusively on a naturally high-fiber diet of plant foods, especially grains. In recent times, however, "modern" man has made it a practice to consume an overabundance of hard-to-digest meats, processed foods, and aptly named "junk food" consisting of an excessive amount of sugars, sodium, oils, and fats ... providing little nutritional value. The unfortunate result of such a diet is numerous unhealthy physical consequences seemingly uncharacteristic for a world considering itself "advanced".

The problem for most people has always been how to get a good amount of fiber in one's diet, and still eat satisfying meals. What to do? In addition to exercise, good nutrition including 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and 6-8 glasses of water daily, a diet high in fiber is one of the most desirable actions you can take to promote a healthier and longer life.

Fiber in general - and psyllium in particular - is so revered that the US FDA recently announced that a healthy diet including 7 grams of soluble fiber from psyllium seed husk may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol. Fiber, as provided by Syste-Max, also has been shown to promote the body's ability to detoxify, and balance blood sugar levels.

• Syste-Max contains the type of soluble fiber the FDA says can help lower cholesterol levels. Soluble fiber actually gets into the bloodstream, appearing to bind fats.
• Syste-Max contains Beta Sitosterol, one of the proven effective ingredients the new cholesterol lowering margarines are using (from soybeans).
• Syste-Max has 15 mg soy isoflavones per serving. If taken 3 times per day as recommended, that provides 45 mg of isoflavones!
• Syste-Max has antioxidant vitamins E and C. these free radical scavengers help reduce the destructive oxidation that occurs with aging.
• Syste-Max contains fat-binding chitosan … so even if you do temporarily deviate from your low fat diet (i.e. Friday night pizza) Syste-Max will benefit you. And remember, fiber swells in your stomach and helps you feel full … causing you to eat less, so it's great for use when you're trying to lose weight.
