Heart Health

Dedicated to the most important muscle in your body; your heart.

Since it is responsible for the pumping of nutrients, it’s imperative to be mindful of the substances that go into our bodies. Maintaining a healthy diet and supplementing with Nature’s Bounty Fish Oil and CoQ10 supplements are just some ways to impact what nutrients flow through the heart. Here are some other tips to keep in mind when looking to lead a heart-healthy lifestyle!

Get Moving:

Whether you enjoy hiking, running or lifting weights, maintaining an active lifestyle has an array of health benefits, especially when it comes to cardiovascular health. Exercising frequently has the ability to strengthen your heart, making it easier to pump blood throughout your entire body. Just 30 minutes per day is all it takes to get started. The most important thing to remember is to start slow and go at your own pace.

Leave Work, At Work:

You may not realize it, but if you’re stressed 24/7 it can impact your heart-health. If you find yourself bringing work home often, getting anxiety over deadlines or feeling like you’re constantly under pressure it can negatively affect your quality of life. Although it’s not always possible, try your best to reduce stress and leave work issues at the office. By coming home, relaxing, and focusing on your loved ones you’ll be more productive at work while supporting your heart.

Ditch the Salt

When your diet contains excess sodium, it can increase your blood pressure which is bad for your heart. Rather than adding extra salt to your food, try using a variety of seasonings to spice things up without sacrificing taste. Alternatives include garlic powder, basil, oregano, rosemary, cumin, ginger and more! Get creative with your meals and you might surprise yourself with your cooking abilities while supporting heart health in the process!

Drink More Water

When your body is hydrated, your heart has an easier time pumping blood to the muscles. Making sure you drink enough water daily is a proactive way to prevent dehydration. Rather than reaching for a sugary soft-drink or alcoholic beverage, plain old H2O is always the safer bet.

Incorporate “Good” Fats:

Salmon, walnuts, and flax seeds are just some foods that contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Also referred to as “good” fats, they have been shown to support heart health and would make a great addition to your diet. Rather than relying solely on food sources for these nutrients, you can also supplement with Nature’s Bounty supplements. Our Fish Oil and Flaxseed products contain essential nutrients that support heart health.*
