It's Time for a Heart to Heart
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the UK, accounting for roughly one in four deaths. Over 7 million people in the country live with some form of cardiovascular condition, including coronary heart disease and stroke.
Various risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking and physical inactivity contribute significantly to this health challenge, impacting not only mortality rates but also quality of life through long-term disability and reduced mobility.
Cardiovascular disease is the term for all types of diseases that affect the heart or blood vessels, including coronary heart disease (clogged arteries), which can cause heart attacks, stroke, heart failure and peripheral artery disease.
Coronary heart disease occurs when plaque (a combination of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances found in the blood) builds up in your arteries.
The plaque reduces the amount of oxygen-rich blood getting to your heart, which can cause chest pain (also called angina). Plaque can also lead to blood clots, which block blood flow and are the most common cause of a heart attack.
Take Action!
There’s a lot you can do to help protect your heart and these four tips are simple to implement into your daily routine.
🥰 Engage in regular, moderate activities like brisk walking, cycling, or swimming to keep your heart strong.
🥰 Focus on whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains in your diet. In addition, reducing salt, sugar and unhealthy fats can significantly benefit your cardiovascular system.
🥰 Include relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing or yoga in your daily routine – to still your mind and rest your heart.
🥰 Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to help your heart recover and rejuvenate.
Maintaining a healthy heart is vital for overall health and wellbeing.
While a balanced diet and regular exercise are essential for good heart health, supplements can also help support heart function.
Why not show your heart some extra love with a little help from lipolife® science?
Our Cardiovascular Supplement Pack combines nutrients that work synergistically to promote better circulation, support healthy blood pressure and enhance overall heart function.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fish oil supplements, have been shown to reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Coenzyme Q10: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that helps to generate energy in the body’s cells. It may also help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Resveratrol: Resveratrol has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in the blood vessels and heart. Resveratrol may also help lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through.
Phosphatidylcholine: By ensuring healthy cell membranes, aiding in lipid transport and metabolism, supporting liver detoxification processes, and mitigating inflammation, phosphatidylcholine plays a supportive role in maintaining overall heart health.
By incorporating this supplement pack into your daily routine, you can take a proactive step towards nurturing your heart, so it continues to power every moment of your life.
