Heart Health Month

As with many diseases, prevention is the best line of defense and there are many natural solutions that support good cardiovascular health. Check out some of the things you can do to prevent heart problems:
Eat Healthy: Choose foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients. Eating vegetables, fruits, whole-grains and fish will go a long way toward keeping your heart healthy.

Get Your Butt Moving: “I just don’t have time”. If that is the excuse that you have been using, it isn’t valid. Even if you think you can’t squeeze a 45 minute workout into your schedule there are steps you can take to vastly improve your physical fitness level. Even ten minute intervals three or four times a day can make a difference. Recent studies have found that short bouts of exercise can help reduce your risk of heart disease in much the same way that longer workouts can.
Manage Stress: There is a link between stress and heart disease. Negative emotions can create a reaction within the body that causes blood vessels to constrict leading to high blood pressure and other problems. People under stress are also more likely to use alcohol, smoke and overeat.
Embrace the heart health solutions that are within your control. A proper diet, exercise and good quality nutritional supplements can enhance your cardiovascular health and put you on the road to a long and vibrant life.
