Cardiovascular

Our heart is an incredible machine, capable of beating 75 times per minute at rest and more than doubled when we exercise to bring blood to the entire body through the cardiovascular system. However, age, sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy habits increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. To avoid it, lead a healthy life, eat in a balanced way and help yourself with natural products.

How to protect and care for the cardiovascular system

The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart, which pumps blood, and the veins, arteries, and capillaries that carry it to the last cell in our body. We tend to worry mainly about the heart, since it is essential for life, but we must also take care of the circulatory system or we may suffer cardiovascular diseases.

The keys to the correct care of the cardiovascular system are to follow a healthy diet, with lots of fruits and vegetables and little fat; exercise regularly; get a good rest and avoid stress; and adopt correct postures when working or resting that facilitate circulation, such as having our legs slightly raised when we lie down.

Natural supplements for the cardiovascular system

In addition to following good habits, the natural world offers us different products that help reduce cardiovascular risk and prevent cardiovascular disease.
