This paper will scientifically justify supporting heart health using three critical dietary supplements. I have utilized the following three supplements in clinical practice and have found them to support the health of my cardiovascular patients
Since 1950, heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the United States. And after decades of research, billions of dollars spent on studies related to prevention and treatment, and a clear understanding of risk factors, one person still dies every 33 seconds from cardiovascular disease. We knowRead
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is known as the “silent killer” because it presents few, if any, symptoms and yet is responsible for more than 11 million deaths each year. For decades, scientists have warned of the risks of a high-sodium diet, as study after study has shown that not onlyRead
Excessive fat tissue around the heart poses a risk for cardiovascular disease. What can be done to reduce the risk? Bariatric surgery and pharmaceutical drugs, such as the glucagon-like peptide analogs, sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors, and lipid-lowering drugs, successfully reduce epicardial adipose tissue mass and thus, the risk of developing cardiovascularRead
The health benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) derived from cold-water fatty fish and krill have been well documented. Research has shown that they can ease symptoms of arthritis, improve cardiovascular outcomes, and may help reduce risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. ClinicalRead
