Have a Healthy Heart

Having a healthy heart and circulatory system is essential for a long life. Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and taking nutritional supplements where necessary can all contribute to the overall health of your heart, blood vessels, and circulatory system.

Heart Health Basics

There are several key components of a healthy heart and circulatory system. These include:

• Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels (below 200 mg/dL)
• Lowering blood pressure to within normal range (120/80 mmHg or lower)
• Lowering triglycerides (below 150 mg/dL)
• Managing weight

Supplements for Heart Health
