Staying Heart Healthy
Jayson Kroner When it comes to the quality of our cardiovascular health, no measure of preventative protection could ever be too great. Our heart is one of the most energy demanding devices in our body - literally working around the clock without the possibility of a break. Based on this tremendous responsibility, doesn’t it just make sense to do everything in our power to make the load a little lighter on the old ticker?
Remember - your heart beats on average over 100,000 times per day. That’s over 36 million beats every year. Do the math. And yes - eating a well balanced diet and exercising regularly are two very wise moves. However, the endless demands of the human heart can often deplete the nutrients it needs, faster than our diets can replenish them. The following supplements have shown great promise in supporting the cardiovascular system, and serve as wise additions to any heart healthy lifestyle.
CoQ10
The human heart uses a tremendous amount of this powerful antioxidant for functional energy. It also helps reduce LDL cholesterol oxidation while promoting healthy cellular activity.
Hawthorne Berries
This powerful herbal antioxidant works synergistically with vitamin E and CoQ10 and helps supports healthy blood flow to the heart.
Lecithin
Every cell in the human body needs lecithin to function. Moreover, lecithin is essential in transporting nutrients in and out of the heart.
