More women fear breast cancer than any other disease.
Yet cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims over ten times as many women’s lives as breast cancer.
In fact, CVD is the nation’s leading cause of death for both men and women. That’s the bad news. The good news is that CVD is almost entirely preventable.
What influences cardiovascular health?
One way to support cardiovascular health is to play by the numbers. All five of the following measurements tell you something about the state of your heart.
🎯Cholesterol: excess cholesterol gets deposited in, and narrows, the artery walls
🎯Triglycerides: elevated triglycerides are associated with a higher risk of coronary artery disease
🎯Blood pressure: high blood pressure puts stress on the artery walls and increases the heart’s workload
🎯Homocysteine: too much homocysteine degrades the structural integrity of the arteries
🎯C-reactive protein: elevated C-reactive protein is associated with a higher risk for hypertension and CVD
Supplement secrets for heart health:
Everyone knows that eating a healthy, whole foods diet and getting regular exercise are important for cardiovascular wellness. But did you know that select nutritional supplements can also make a big difference? Here is one to consider.
Omega-3 Essentials
Chances are you’ve heard about Omega 3 fatty acids, because they’re good for so many things. Supplementing with Omega 3 fish oil is one of the best things you can do for your heart. Here are just some Omega 3 benefits:
• Helps maintain healthy levels of triglycerides and C-reactive protein
• Promotes a desirable blood pressure
• Supports a regular heart rhythm
You can buy these essential fats as liquid Omega 3 oil, but most people prefer the convenience of Omega 3 pills. Whichever Omega 3 supplement you choose, just keep in mind that quality differs tremendously among different brands.
As an Integrative Nutrition Gut & Hormone Health Coach when it comes to supplementing my general recommendation for my clients is to start with nutrition, sleep, movement, and mindfulness BEFORE supplements.
I support you in navigating the supplemental landscape in many ways, by:
📍empowering you to be informed so you can act in your own best interests
📍helping you make sense of the confusing information out here
📍increasing awareness of possible contraindications [e.g. interactions with medications]
📍providing basic education and guidance based on the latest research
📍remembering the importance of rule #1 BIO-INDIVIDUALITY #iinweinventedhealthcoaching
📍suggesting you consult with your functional medicine or naturopathic doctor to explore options.
Remember, supplements do not exist to replace a healthy diet; they exist to complement it.
