The effective operation of our body depends heavily on the heart and circulatory system. Their role includes delivering oxygen, water, nutrients, and hormones to all body cells as well as removing carbon dioxide and toxic metabolic byproducts. The circulatory system is also in charge of regulating body temperature and defending the body from pathogenic bacteria.
What is harmful to the heart and circulatory system?
Cholesterol is the most well-known adversary of the heart and the entire circulatory system. This is due to the overabundance being deposited in the arteries, where it causes atherosclerosis and blocks the normal flow of blood. Blood that has more cholesterol in it is also thicker, which encourages the development of highly dangerous blood clots. Consuming too much salt, which causes hypertension, and lacking in nutrients like the minerals potassium and magnesium, as well as unsaturated fatty acids, which are crucial for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, can also cause problems with the heart and circulatory system.
How can you look after your circulatory system and heart?
Physical activity and a balanced diet are the most important components of taking care of a healthy heart and circulatory system. In particular, salt intake should be minimized, substituting it in recipes with fragrant herbs and spices, for example. It is important to carefully restrict the quantity of sugar you consume because it is also detrimental to your circulatory system, causes obesity and overweight, raises blood pressure and triglyceride levels, and causes weight gain. Cold-pressed vegetable oils are a good substitute for unhealthy fats that are a source of so-called bad cholesterol since they are high in unsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, calcium, iron, and magnesium are necessary for a healthy heart and circulatory system. These nutrients can be provided to your body through food or in the form of easily absorbed pre-made products.
Antioxidant vitamins, including vitamins A, C, and E, play a critical part in maintaining a healthy heart and circulatory system. Their function is to neutralize free radicals, which are produced in our bodies as a result of consuming alcohol, smoking, or polluting the environment. They are mostly found in fruits and vegetables, but when those foods are scarce, they can be adequately substituted by unrefined, cold-pressed vegetable oils and ready-to-eat nutritional supplements with well balanced vitamin complexes.
