4 Supplements That Can Support a Healthy Heart

---

When we talk about discovering the fountain of youth, too many of us immediately think of the potions that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other outward signs of aging. How about guarding yourself against the No. 1 killer of American adults — heart disease? Fortunately, there is no discovery necessary to find the keys to a healthy heart. Study after study has revealed that we can do a lot to reduce the risks of heart disease by eating a healthy diet, keeping stress under control, and exercising regularly — taking great care of our bodies. While these areas are essential in boosting heart health, research also shows that supplements can be beneficial in helping lower cholesterol and maintain a healthy blood pressure — areas that are related to preventing heart attacks and strokes.

These 4 Supplements Can Boost Heart Health:

Coenzyme Q10. Often referred to as CoQ10, this enzyme is naturally found in the body. However, people may be deficient because they're failing to get sufficient amounts in the body or they're suffering from a disease that may cause the body to use a higher level of CoQ10. Deficiency can lead to heart failure and high blood pressure. Research also has shown that CoQ10 supplements may be effective in treatments for chronic heart failure and high blood pressure. However, more studies evaluating a higher dose for a longer treatment period are needed. Niacin. While adequate levels of niacin, also known as vitamin B3, are necessary for overall good health, it also has been shown to boost levels of HDL or good cholesterol and has been shown to lower triglycerides. High levels of triglycerides, which is a type of fat in the blood, can increase the risk of heart disease. Fish oil. The American Heart Association recommends that adults eat a minimum of two servings of fatty fish weekly to get Omega 3 fatty acids in their diet. Fish like salmon, mackerel, and albacore tuna, can cut the levels of triglycerides (that unhealthy fat) in your blood and slow the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Garlic. Numerous studies have shown that garlic can reduce blood pressure among people with high blood pressure — one of the contributors to cardiovascular diseases. While eating a healthy diet with plenty of leafy green vegetables and fish, along with a regular routine of exercise, you can do a lot to reduce your risks for heart disease. And, as research has revealed, supplements can help you in that fight. Wonder Labs has an assortment of supplements to help support overall good health.
