Looking after your heart, naturally 💚
October is National Cholesterol Month, an annual campaign from HEART UK encouraging us to understand our cholesterol and make small, achievable changes to look after our heart health.
Alongside a balanced diet, regular movement and knowing your cholesterol numbers, there are a few products on our shelves that may be of interest.
🐟 Omega 3 & heart health
Lamberts Pulse and Pure Fish Oil provide EPA and DHA, the two main omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart. Pulse also contains CoQ10.
🌿 Garlic & plant-based options
AllicinMAX contains stabilised allicin extracted from fresh garlic, while Good Guru Organic BPKare combines organic beetroot powder with cinnamon. Both offer different plant-based options for those looking to include more of these ingredients in their daily routine.
💜 And then there’s beetroot…
We have several ways to enjoy it, from Alpha Zero One Organic Beetroot Extract and James White Beet It organic beetroot juice to Sweet Solution’s Organic Beetroot Latte.
Beetroot is naturally rich in dietary nitrate. Nitrate is converted in the body to nitric oxide, which has a role in normal blood flow, one of the reasons beetroot and beetroot juice have become such an interesting part of the conversation around cardiovascular health.
There are lots of ways to look after your heart, and no single food or supplement does it all. This National Cholesterol Month, perhaps start with one small swap… whether that’s adding more vegetables to your meals, choosing a nourishing cupboard staple or getting out for a walk.
If you’d like to know more about any of the products we stock, our experienced team are always happy to help.
