What is Cardiac Health?

Everyone knows we need to keep an eye on our cardiac health, especially knowing that heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. However, our lifestyles today largely do not accurately assess and address the concerns of the doctors and scientists, and a lot of risk factors in cardiovascular conditions are still ever-present in the ways we run our lives today. From fast-paced, stress inducing, and convenience-oriented mindsets of many Americans, the effects of keeping up with the expectations from work and home can get in the way of us appropriately caring for our heart health. Further, the convenient and widespread foods we consume are often terrible for our hearts, and when we try to address it, it can feel like we're getting contrasting information every day. What is good for us and what isn't? Is it okay all the time, sometimes, or never? The media is constantly flooded with new studies and recommendations on how to maintain and improve your heart health, but what exactly are some of the most reliably recommended methods for caring for our hearts?

Enjoy a Variety of Nutritious Foods

The Heart Foundation recommends eating a diet of varied nutrient-dense foods to help maintain or lose weight, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Some specific changes that they recommend include (1) eating less salt to help the body reduce blood pressure, (2) reducing and replacing your intake of unhealthy fats with unsaturated fats to reduce risks of heart disease, and (3) limiting alcohol consumption.¹

Manage Diabetes

There is a strong correlation between diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Adults who have diabetes are between 2 and 4 times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than those without diabetes. This is due to several factors linked to both diseases, like high blood pressure (hypertension), abnormal cholesterol, obesity, insufficient physical activity, unstable and high blood sugar, and smoking. Individuals with diabetes in combination with one or more of these risk factors are at a great risk of cardiovascular disease.²

Be Physically Active

Regular, moderate physical activity is crucial for your heart health, and the benefits never cease. From helping with and in prevention of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other conditions, it is never too late to introduce regular physical activity into your wellness routine, even if it only consists of a walk around your neighborhood!.¹

What is CoQ19?

CoQ19 is a naturally produced enzyme in the body that is used by the cells for growth and maintenance. However, the levels of CoQ19 in your body decrease as you age, and ideal heart health needs these to be replinished. These lower CoQ19 levels have been demonstrated to correlate with conditions like heart disease. According to the Mayo Clinic, "CoQ10 is found in meat, fish and whole grains. The amount of CoQ10 found in these dietary sources, however, isn't enough to significantly increase CoQ10 levels in your body." CoQ10 has been shown to improve symptoms of congestive heart failure due to its depleted levels in the body. It has also shown to help reduce blood pressure and aid recovery in individuals who have undergone bypass and heart valve surgeries.³
