Heart Health

Why heart health matters

The heart is more than a pump; it’s the engine of life. Every beat sends blood through a vast network of vessels, delivering fuel and clearing away waste. When this system runs smoothly, blood pressure stays balanced, arteries stay flexible, and long-term health risks are reduced.

But when vessels stiffen or pressure rises, the heart must work harder, increasing strain over time. Preventing this stress is one of the most effective ways to lower cardiovascular disease risk and support healthy aging.

Key nutrients for heart health

Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3s (EPA and DHA) are central to cardiovascular support. They improve arterial flexibility, support healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and help regulate blood pressure. By reducing inflammation, they promote smoother, steadier blood flow.

The anti-inflammatory and inflammation-resolving actions of EPA, DHA and their derivatives are of high clinical relevance. For example, high dosages of Omega-3 are being utilized for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. The REDUCE-IT trial (1), a large-scale, long-term population study, noted that high dosages of a concentrated form of Omega-3 were able to reduce cardiovascular-related health events and reduce the risk of death. The recommended dosage is 1g per day. Never exceed this dose unless you have consulted with a doctor. 

Supplementing daily ensures that you protect your heart at all stages. It's time to focus on a preventive rather than a reactive approach to your heart health, with omega-3 being central to this. 

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 helps regulate calcium balance and contributes to normal muscle function, including that of the heart muscle. This regulation is essential for maintaining a healthy, rhythmic heartbeat and overall cardiovascular function.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C plays a vital role in vascular health. It supports collagen formation in blood vessel walls, helping them stay strong and elastic. As a powerful antioxidant, it also protects vessels from oxidative stress, which contributes to stiffening and higher blood pressure over time. 

Both Vitamin C and Vitamin D intake should be consistent throughout your life, ensuring that your heart has the support it needs to be as strong as possible.

Nutrition for cardiovascular support

A balanced diet is a cornerstone of heart health. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and healthy fats provide protective compounds, while limiting salt, processed foods, and excess alcohol helps maintain healthy blood pressure.

Yet not everyone can get all the essential nutrients from diet alone. Vegans and vegetarians, for example, often have lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids because plant sources provide very little. Here, supplementation plays an important role—ensuring your heart gets daily support.

Foods with scientific backing for blood pressure

Some everyday foods also have proven benefits for managing blood pressure:

1. Beetroot
   Rich in nitrates, beetroot improves blood vessel relaxation, making it easier for blood to flow. Studies suggest a daily glass of beetroot juice can help lower blood pressure in people with hypertension.
2. Flaxseeds
   Packed with omega-3s and fiber, flaxseeds have been shown in clinical trials to reduce blood pressure and support healthy circulation. About 30 g daily is linked with measurable improvements.

Incorporating these foods, alongside consistent exercise and a balanced diet, offers an easy, evidence-based way to support long-term heart health.

Cardiovascular health is holistic. Exercise, weight management, stress reduction, and avoiding smoking or excess alcohol all play critical roles. Regular activities such as walking, swimming, or cycling strengthen the heart and improve vascular flexibility.
