Manage a healthy blood pressure and cholesterol balance the natural way. We all know the part that stress and a poor diet play in the development of cardiovascular problems. More recently however certain nutrients have been shown to work specifically to reduce these risks, a lack of essential fatty acids, for example, has been directly associated with hypertension or high blood pressure.  Rebalancing this deficiency with Omega 3 or Krill supplementation has been shown to bring about significant improvement and the reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The natural compounds found in the culinary staple Garlic have been highly acclaimed by scientific research to reduce raised cholesterol, improve blood circulation and discourage the build up of plaque in the arteries (atherosclerosis), two major contributory factors in stroke and CHD.

Most of us know someone on statins, if it is not ourselves. These widely prescribed cholesterol lowering drugs have been scientifically proven to reduce our levels of an essential nutrient, Co Enzyme Q10, known as the 'energy vitamin'. Falling levels of Co Enzyme Q10  play a significant role in age-related medical conditions such as CHD.  CLA is another of natures wonder that has been shown to have potent protective actions against this disease by reducing blood triglyceride and cholesterol levels whilst reducing the furring up of the arteries. Vital nutrients such as B Vitamins (including Folic Acid) and Vitamin C and Vitamin D are required for the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system by reducing homocysteine and regulating heart beat.
