Did you know that over 71 million North Americans have cardiovascular health issues?
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death and disability in Canada.
What can you do to help prevent it?
Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, quit smoking, reduce stress and supplement a number of all-natural ingredients into your diet that have been shown to help balance
cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, reduce triglycerides and platelet aggregation, strengthen your heart and help improve your overall cardiovascular system.
A few more tips:
Just a few grams of omega-3 per day prevents irregular heart beat [arrhythmia] and decrease inflammation and promote blood flow and help keep a by-pass open and protect you after a heart attack.
Omega-3 from fish oil safely lowers the need for pain killers, from Aspirin to Celebrex, and they slash 'triglycerides' (high blood fats).
Imagine: 2 grams/day of fish oil after heart attack: 20% fewer deaths and 45% fewer 'sudden' deaths (GISSI trial). Omega-3 is the rediscovered half of what used to be called vitamin F -with the F from Fat. It takes omega-3 to balance the other half of vitamin F, the omnipresent omega-6 from soy, corn, sunflower, safflower and cottonseed, Linoleic Acid (LA).
Polyunsaturate has become synonymous with omega-6 only, which now appears to be part of a health disaster in heart disease, diabetes and cancer, especially breast cancer, excessive blood clotting and immune system problems including asthma. Making things worse since 1911, hydrogenation trans-forms unsaturates and messes with their vitamin or structural roles while raising bad-boy Lp(a). Hydrogenation preferentially zaps the most precious oil of all: omega-3. Virgin olive is a healthy omega-9 oil but a poor source of omega-3 at only 0.6%.
