Heart and Circulation
Many people are looking for natural ways to support their heart health and circulation. Here we will look at some of the main ways you can naturally support your health in this area.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can cause damage to your heart and arteries.
Healthy blood pressure levels are 130-140/80-90,
The higher your blood pressure is above these levels, the more important it is to try and do something about it. In the diet salt is a well known cause of high blood pressure, so try and limit it. Do not add salt to your cooking or to your food, use herbs and spices instead for flavour.
They have also found that the humble beetroot could also help to lower cholesterol, so it could be worth either eating it or drinking beetroot juice daily. For those who don’t like beetroot, beetroot capsules are also available.
As well as Beetroot, garlic has been found to have beneficial effects on the heart and circulation. For those worried about the anti social effects of garlic, garlic supplements like Quest Kyolic 600 are available.
