Reduced fat and salt intake, as well as exercise, may all assist in maintaining a healthy heart. In addition, antioxidants can help neutralise potentially damaging chemicals in the body which may affect the heart adversely. Antioxidants may be found in fresh fruit and vegetables. Beta Carotene, Vitamins A,C and E, and certain minerals such as zinc all support antioxidant activity. The level of cholesterol in the blood is influenced by both genetic and dietary factors. Aged Garlic may help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels when taken as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Circulatory health may be improved by increasing the intake of B vitamins in the diet. Folic acid, B6 and B12 may be especially important. Fish oils are the chief dietary source of the essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Populations that eat oily fish regularly have been found to have a high incidence of good heart and circulatory health. Green Tea and Ginkgo Biloba are herbs traditionally taken for preserving healthy circulation. A recent study (source: BBC News December 1999) led by Professor Balz Frei at the Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon suggested that taking 500mg of Vitamin C per day over a period of a month could reduce blood pressure significantly in patients who had hypertension. Professor Frei and colleagues at the Institute are reported by the BBC to believe that the RDA of 60mg a day for Vitamin C should be doubled. The supplements included in this section are included for illustrative purposes. We have included products in this section when the manufacturer's literature suggests they may be relevant, or where the product contains nutrients which have been used traditionally for this purpose. Inclusion in a particular section does not imply that Academy Health are confirming the product will be effective in treating any particular condition. Although the situation is improving steadily, clinical studies for particular nutrients or products are patchy at best. For this reason, inclusion of a product should not be taken as meaning there is any conclusive clinical evidence that the product will be effective in this area. In the absence of a confirmation to the contrary, it should be assumed clinical evidence does not exist to support the use of the product in treating this condition or in this area. In all cases, if symptoms persist or you are worried about your health, do not rely on health supplements but contact your doctor. |
