| Heart Disease & Inflammation |
| |
by Christina Swigart,
Licensed Nutritionist
It?s February, the month of love, when hearts of all
shapes and sizes are everywhere you look. As a
nutritionist, I would like you to spend a few moments
thinking about your own heart. You may already know
that heart disease is now the leading cause of death
for both men and women. In fact, the American Heart
Association reported that ?nearly twice as many
women in the United States die of heart disease and
stroke as from all forms of cancer, including breast
cancer.?
Knowing that we all need to take better care of our
hearts, where do we start?
You may have heard that avoiding saturated fats and
red meat and getting adequate exercise are the best
route to heart health. However, I would like you to think
about heart health from a different perspective: The
key contributor to heart disease is inflammation.

| Heart Heathy Nutrients |
| |
If you are looking for extra nutrients to protect your
heart, I recommend these three key supplements.
Omega-3 fatty acids: Pure fish oil is a safe
and natural way to reduce cardiovascular
inflammation and boost your HDL (good) cholesterol.
Dosage: 1,000-3,000 mg per day.
Magnesium glycinate: This is one of the most
important minerals for your heart. A natural muscle
relaxant, magnesium helps relax your heart and
reduce blood pressure.
Dosage: 400-600 mg per day.
CoQ10: An antioxidant that gives life to your
heart, CoQ10 is a great way to naturally get rid of
irregular heart beats and arrhythmias. CoQ10 is
essential if you are on a statin cholesterol lowering
medication since those drugs deplete our natural
supply of CoQ10.
Dosage: 100-200 mg per day
