Cardiovascular Support

Cardiovascular support refers to support for your cardiovascular system, which consists of your heart and related systems that supply your tissues and organs with oxygenated blood. People most often need cardiovascular support to treat shock.

The health of your cardiovascular system is essential for blood flowing through your body smoothly and regularly. When your cardiovascular system is compromised, you are at risk for developing heart disease.

Heart disease or cardiovascular disease refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain or a stroke.

When you strengthen your cardiovascular fitness, you reduce your risk of developing heart disease by increasing the efficiency of your heart, lungs and blood vessels. As it becomes easier for your heart to pump blood through your body, your heart functions more easily with less pressure and stress.

You can strengthen your heart by lifestyle changes and by having good nutrition and taking supplements that offer cardiovascular support. Lifestyle changes include getting exercise and enough movement, quitting smoking, losing weight and being weight-appropriate for your body size and frame, avoiding overeating especially unhealthy foods, minimizing stress, getting regular sleep and practicing different methods to improve your sense of equanimity and thus, a healthy heart.

Vitamins and minerals taken in appropriate doses may help in lowering this risk of heart disease. Supplements that contain multivitamins, coenzyme 10, omega 3 fatty acids, magnesium, L-Carnitine, green tea and/or garlic, all assist in heart health.
