Regulates the fat hormone – Leptin – to achieve fat loss
Increased Energy
Reduced Glycemic Index of foods you eat
Improved Cholesterol levels
Balanced Blood Sugar levels
Improved Lipid profiles
Regulated Bowel function
Great Tasting Mild Orange Flavor
Need to be Taken Only Twice a Day, Before Meals
100% Natural and No Side Effects.
Why We Need Fiber?
Fiber Reduces the Risk of:
Alzheimer’s Disease
Cancer (especially Breast, Colo rectal and Prostate Cancer)
Cardiovascular Disease (Heart Attack, Stroke, High Blood Pressure etc)
Constipation
Diabetes (and other Kidney aliments)
Obesity.
Let’s face it, there is insufficient fiber in an average American diet.
Ideally, you will need 25-30 grams of fiber every day.
Good Sources of Fiber:
The best sources of fiber include beans, wholegrain cereals (barley, oats, rice), fruits, vegetables and nuts.
Sources of insoluble fiber include: wheat, corn, rice, veggies and beans.
Sources of soluble fiber include: citrus fruits, apples, mango, oats, dried apricots and beans (haricot, soybeans).
As it is not easy to eat sufficient vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts and grains to produce 25-30 grams of fiber daily, Bios Life or Bios Life Slim can help you ensure that you will have sufficient intake of dietary fiber for your daily needs.
Bios Life Slim™ is NOT another fad diet. It is a revolutionary way of managing your weight. It works by stabilizing the fat hormone “leptin.” This hormone is responsible for controlling how much fat the body stores. By regulating leptin, we can effectively reduce fat storage and turn the body into a FAT BURNing machine!
Leptin Hormonial Imbalance causes the following Health Problems:
Eating more and more and not feeling full
Low Immunity to diseases
Spikes in Insulin Levels
Mood Swings (Depression/Anxiety)
Pain (Abdominal, Brain)
Reproductive Hormonal Dysfunction
Thyroid disease
How Long Will it Take?
We want you to slim down—and stay slim. A “diet” is something you do to your body; Bios Life Slim is something you do with your body. You’re gradually training your body to burn fat, not store it. It usually takes about three months for this process to become permanent. Most users of Bios Life Slim begin “feeling better” within days, and report that a reduction in size starts less than 30 days later.
NOTE: Bios Life Slim currently available for residents in USA, Germany, HongKong and Japan. For other countries, Slim is awaiting approval from local regulatory authorities.
Reduce Your Weight in 90 Days with this Effective, Natural Fat-Loss Product.
Introducing Bios Life Slim —a revolutionary way to naturally burn fat. Bios Life Slim is a proprietary fat loss formula. It’s unique matrix of soluble and insoluble fiber, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants work together synergistically to improve our body’s ability to regulate fat. As we age our bodies slowly lose their ability to regulate fat. As a result, our bodies end up storing excess fat.
Bios Life Slim not only helps prevent our bodies from storing excess fat, but it also allows existing fat to be burned away—naturally… no jitters, no starving, no stimulants. The most noticeable changes you can expect when using Bios Life Slim is an increase in energy and a reduction in appetite and cravings.
Bios Life Slim was launched in May by Stewart Hughes, Chairman and CEO of Unicity International and is available for sale in the USA and Canada from June 1st 2008 after nearly two decades of research and clinical studies. It will be available in other countries where Unicity has an office in the course of the next few months once the local regulatory authorities has approve its sale.
It is 100% safe, natural and has no known side effects. Money Back Guarantee—just use the product twice a day as recommended and if you are not impressed with your results in 90 days, we will give you 100% of your money back.
What do you have to lose other than some unwanted inches? Sign up to be among the first to benefit from this remarkable product. Study Results—In a study of more than 200 participants, 100% of the participants reported a measurable reduction in fat in 90 days.
Unicity business associates and franchise owners are naturally excited by the positive consumer reviews and market buzz created by this breakthrough new slimming product. As Stewart Hughes, CEO of Unicity International said in his blog recently:
“The business can grow in a methodical way but it also can grow in a geometric way. Can you imagine what your business would look like and feel like if it grew 100% per month or even more–it really is possible. Are you ready for it to happen? Have you paid the price in personal development? Are there things you are not doing that you need to start doing? Are there things you are doing that you need to stop doing? Keep in mind that the leader usually grows before his or her business grows.”
“These are exciting times at Unicity! In fact I have never seen more growth in my 18 years in the business. Europe continues to grow at an incredible pace. As usual, South East Asia is on fire!”

If I told you my weight, you can imagine what my lifestyle was like and how I felt. Because of a medical condition, I became 60 pounds overweight—and it’s been a real battle to get rid of the fat. I’ve tried all the diet programs out there with zero success. So far with Bio Slim I’ve lost a total of 13 and a quarter inches!
Since I started Bio Slim, I never gained a pound—even through the holidays. I’ve gone from a size 22 to a size 16.
Some people don’t recognize me. People immediately comment on how fantastic I look… they say I radiate!
I’m so impressed with how fat comes off—and stays off!

Total Inches Lost: 13 inches
In just four weeks of taking Bios Slim, I’ve lost a total of 13 inches! I just put on pants that are two sizes smaller than last month! For the first time in years I’ve had the energy to play tennis and go walking. For a long time I had tried exercises and diets with no avail, but after my first month of Bios Life Slim I had to return a recently purchased pair of pants because they were too big! I’m wearing clothes I haven’t been able to wear in years.
Diets just never worked for me—I just have no self-control. I’ve tried them all, and the weight just came back on. But with Bios Slim—it just works—and the biggest thing for me was not feeling a craving for sweets. I don’t know how it works, it just works. The fat has just fallen off.
I take my Bios Slim everywhere I go. It’s easy! You just drink it. You don’t have to worry about weighing your food, or how much you eat, because soon you just feel like eating less. You have more will power. You don’t have those cravings.
~ Eleanor L. – Georgia

Total Inches Lost: 5 inches
Before taking Bio Slim I actually had to fight every morning just to put on my socks. What’s more, my fingers were getting too fat to fit in the holes of my bowling ball.
I started on Bio Slim just four weeks ago and I’ve already lost a total of five inches and I’ve gone down one entire shirt size—what’s more I can pull my belt three belt-holes tighter!
Now my fingers glide in and out of my bowling ball without a problem and changing my socks after a game is effortless.
I feel like I’ve truly got a new lease on life!
~ Marty G. – Georgia

The first thing I noticed was how great I felt—Bios Slim has a unique ability to curb my appetite and cravings. Then I starting noticing that I was losing inches before I lost weight. I actually am getting smaller and I feel much better. I put on these pant that I haven’t worn since high school and it was amazing how well they fit.
~ Paul K. – Wisconsin
♥
I’ve done everything to lose fat and it wasn’t until I started taking Bios Slim that I felt that I was finally making progress. To see those inches come off—I’m absolutely thrilled! I wasn’t able to lose inches for years.
~ Sharon F. – Hawaii
♥
I am so excited about Bios Slim. I’ve carried this fat around with me for about five years, and I didn’t like it at all! Now, my girls tell me all the time that I’m just melting away! In fact, everyone tells me I look good… and being 65 years old, anytime anybody tells me that I look good, I’m excited!
I lost four inches in my waist, two in the bust area, and two inches in the hip area. When I started the Unicity Slim product I was a size 16, now I’m wearing size 14. I’m glad I didn’t give any of my skinny clothes away, with Bios Slim, I’m going to be back in those clothes.
I feel so good about myself. I can walk with my head up high. The one thing that people notice first is your face, and if your face is puffy they think you’re fat all over—and when you slim down in the face, they think you’re slim all over. I saw the fat loss in my face first and it made me really proud.
~ Burma H. – Alabama
♥
Total Inches Lost: 24 inches
Weight Lost: 45 lbs
Life is just much more fun because I feel good. This is so simple! I don’t have to change my eating habits and I’m not hungry between meals, I’m eating less—I still eat everything I liked, but just not the same quantity—I just don’t need as much.
What is so amazing about Bios Slim is that it targets the areas where my fat is. My doctor said, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep doing it!” It’s amazing!
I have the energy and stamina to do what I need to do each day. I’ve gone from a size 14 to a size 8, and now I love to shop for clothes! In December I wore a bathing suit in public for the first time—I actually put a bathing suit on and walked on the beach!
I’m able to enjoy my granddaughter so much more… I’m crawling on the floor, pulling her in a wagon—I have so much more energy.

According to the US Surgeon General, heart attacks and strokes are highly preventable. In fact, seven of ten Americans who die each year, die of a preventable chronic disease such as heart disease and diabetes [1]. A former US Surgeon General, David Satcher, said, “Currently, 95 percent of the health care dollars in the US are spent on treating disease, with relatively little attention paid to preventing disease, which should be a national priority [2].”
Here are seven reasons why we die of heart disease…
We Smoke
The risk of dying of a heart attack is four times higher in people who smoke than in those who don’t smoke. Many of us are under the impression that the major danger from smoking is cancer but that’s not quite true; smoking is the major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. In fact, about 40 percent of deaths caused by cardiovascular disease are due to smoking.
We Don’t Walk
Over the past 50 years, health professionals have examined the association between physical activity and the risk for heart disease. The findings consistently reveal that people who are physically active have half the risk for heart attacks than people who are not active. Those studies show also that at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, on most days of the week, is sufficient to reduce the risk of heart attack [3].
We Eat Too Much Saturated Fat
There’s a reason why health authorities advice us to limit the consumption of saturated fat:
Saturated fat is the most rigid of all fats and is solid at room temperature. Solid fats are hard to dissolve and can easily get stuck in your arteries.
When you eat too much saturated fat, your liver keeps producing cholesterol and you end up with much more cholesterol than you need.
Limit saturated fat consumption to less than 10 percent of the total calories ingested per day.
We Ingest Too Many Foods Containing Hydrogenated Oils or Trans Fats
Hydrogenated oils or trans fats as they are usually called, are produced artificially by injecting molecules of hydrogen in vegetable oils, a process called hydrogenation. Through this process, the oil, which is liquid at room temperature, changes its original form and becomes solid. In other words, it becomes saturated fat. In addition, the unnatural shapes of trans fats cause our cells to become malformed and to malfunction. And that includes the cells of the heart and the arteries.
Read the food label and avoid products which contain trans fats or hydrogenated fats.
We Don’t Eat Enough Fruits and Vegetables
We know that people who consume plant foods regularly have a lower incidence of heart disease than those who don’t include them in their diet.
Fruits and vegetables contain phytochemicals, non-nutritive chemicals found in plant foods that protect their host plants from infections and microbial invasions. However, phytochemicals are also crucial in protecting humans against many diseases, including heart disease.

We Have Too Much Stress
Eighty percent of the population suffers from some kind of symptoms caused by stress which many times end up in illnesses such as high blood pressure—a risk factor for heart attack.
One of the reasons why you succumb to disease easily is because tension reduces your capacity to adapt to today’s changing environment.
And the 7th reason why we die of heart disease is…….
We Drink too Much Alcohol
Avoid high alcohol consumption. 5 to 7 percent of the hypertension we see in people is due to high alcohol intake. The Health World Organization estimates that almost 2/3 of strokes and 50 percent of heart attacks are caused by high blood pressure.
Thompson P. Preventing coronary heart disease. The role of physical activity. The Physician and Sportsmedicine. 2001 Feb;29(2).
10 Things Every Woman Should Know About Heart Disease
Under Pressure High blood pressure can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke. A higher percentage of women have high blood pressure after age 55 than do men.
Watch Your Waistline Being overweight, especially around the waistline, increases your risk of high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Keep Moving Lack of exercise increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week.
Keep Cholesterol in Check The higher your LDL cholesterol level, the greater your risk of coronary heart disease.
Manage Diabetes Diabetes increases your risk of heart disease.
Butt Out Smoking increases your risk to coronary heart disease.
What’s Up Doc? Be sure to visit your doctor for a check-up annually.
Age Gracefully As women grow older, their risks of heart disease and stroke begin to increase and continues to increase with age.
What to Watch The most significant symptom of heart attack is pain or pressure in the chest. However, the warning signals of heart attack can be different for women than for men. Often, women also experience shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety, nausea or vomiting, and back or jaw pain.
You’re Not Immune Heart disease affects women of all ages, races and economic levels. It can happen to you!
Plus Stewart Hughes, CEO of Unicity message and personal invitation for you all Unicity associates to attend the Unicity Global Convention, Busan 2008.
By being at the Unicity Convention, you will get the opportunity to meet and interact with global Unicity partners and learn from their experiences as well as find out about the benefits of new Unicity products etc.
So let’s put the Unicity Global Convention, Busan 2008 on our calendar and having a really great time there.
Approved by the FDA—but are your meds safe? Critics claim tragic failures like the approval of the painkiller Vioxx, which may have caused up to 100,000 heart attack and stroke deaths, are a direct result of prioritizing speed over safety reviews. So what can you do in the meantime to minimize risk from medications like the 10 Deadliest Drugs mentioned below?
The first thing is to be an informed consumer and be sure that the 10 Deadliest drugs you take are necessary and have not been flagged as potentially problematic. For example, the mild opioid drugs Darvon and Darvocet have been found to be no more effective than aspirin—and they can cause heart damage.

If you think someone is having a Stroke, remember the 60 second test:
1. Ask the individual to smile.
2. Ask him or her to raise both arms.
3. Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence coherently, like “It is sunny out today.”
NOTE: Another ‘sign’ of a Stroke is this: Ask the person to ‘stick’ out their tongue . if the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a Stroke.
To help you remember this procedure, remember these 3 important words in STRoke. Ask the person (who you suspect is suffering from a stroke) to do the 3 STR described below:
S is for Smile
T is for Talk
R is for Raise both arms
IF THE INDIVIDUAL HAS TROUBLE WITH ANY OF THESE TASKS, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY and describe the symptoms to the emergency ambulance personnel!

Randy Pausch put up a Time Management video he did some time back with the help of Gabe Robins in November 2007 at the University of Virginia.
You will find this video very useful if you are concern about time management and how to get your priorities right. As usual, Pausch has delivered a lecture with his unique, insightful and funny style. This video was made after he had been diagnosed with the difficult to cure pancreatic cancer. If anyone should know about time management, Randy certainly does.
This is one of the best motivational videos I have seen in a long time.
It is a true life story about a little boy with the Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18) – which has some similarities to the Down Syndrome. This motivational video shows how Eliot Hartman Mooney survives each day, bravely defying the virtually insurmountable odds stacked against him. Every day this boy survives is a miracle.
“Eliot Mooney was born with an undeveloped lung, a heart with a hole in it and DNA that placed faulty information into each and every cell of his body. However, that could not stop the living God from proclaiming Himself through this boy who never uttered a word” – Matt Mooney.
This motivational video is one of the most inspirational stories you will ever come across and can only inspire us to be the best we can – even if it is just for a little while…
Through this inspirational video, little Eliot (together with is loving mom, Ginny and dad, Matt Mooney) has showed us that life is a a gift to be lived to the fullest.
When I hear somebody sigh, “Life is hard,” I am always tempted to ask, “Compared to what?“. Do we measured life by the number of breaths we take, or by the moments that take our breath away?
Do we live each day as if it were your last day on earth? And do we love as if it was our first day in Heaven? Maybe the perfect romance does not exist…but true love does. It exists between a dog and a little boy, between a little boy and his mom and dad, between his parents and their closest friends, between lovers….. Between boys too young to die but who willingly sacrifice their very lives when violence casts a long dark shadow on their friends’ path of true potential.
Closest friends are the ones that have stood by you through the hard times… supported your decisions… made a real effort to understand your hard decisions… gave you a shoulder to cry on…..gave you their time…..
We have wasted all too many Yesterdays… and all too many Today’s… and placed too much potential (and hope) on our all too well planned Tomorrow’s. Don’t use our tomorrows as an excuse for not doing what we should have done today.
Today, not tomorrows, offer us the most potential to be special and to do something great. Tomorrows are all too often just a moving target – like a ship that never reaches its destination. Todays, are paid for in full with blood, sweat and tears. Tomorrows, on the other hand, are just borrowed time, an uncommitted promise – not paid for with true human capital. To put it bluntly, Tomorrows are just unfulfilled dreams. Today is the stuff legends and breakthroughs are made of. What is done today can be the turning point of your future.
May we never waste another day on earth. Make each day simply remarkable – as if it was our last. Lifetimes are an unknown quantity. Like a row of candles. No one knows which candle will be the first to be extinguished when a sudden gush of wind fills the room. How quickly they go away. How wonderful they were when they shone brilliantly through the dark!
So the next time you feel the urge to complain or grumble or say an unkind word, spare a thought for little Eliot, the miracle baby boy. Eliot has taught us how to live each day to the fullest. His spirit lives in each and everyone of us. Let not our all-too-fleeting Todays be wasted on things that do not count in the long run.
