CoQ10 and Omega 3 Promote Good Heart Health

CoQ10, or coenzyme Q10 is found in the mitochondria (an organelle in all cells) and plays an important role in producing energy. Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid for normal growth and health. Both nutrients contribute to the maintenance of a healthy heart, and a high level of it significantly improves it. Scientists and experts have declared them as vital for the functioning and health of the heart.

Mainstream medicine recognizes the benefits of Omega 3. It helps to reduce the risk of developing heart disease, lowers level of triglycerides, decreases the risk of arrhythmias which can lead to cardiac death, reduces the clumping of platelets which can cause harmful clots, decreases the amount of fatty plaques, and lowers blood pressure.

CoQ10 is also necessary for heart health. Up until the age of 20, your heart contains high levels of CoQ10. However beyond 20, they decline and may lead to severe heart diseases.

The heart is the muscle with the highest energy requirement in the body. Your heart beats 4000 times every minute, which is more than 35 million times a year. Without the right fuel, it becomes weak and cannot function properly. CoQ10 produces the energy (ATP, or adenosine triphosphate) the heart needs to pump.

There is growing evidence of CoQ10 reducing the risk of heart disease, as well as benefiting patients suffering from heart failure. It provides the necessary energy phosphates for the heart to reduce or eliminate further deterioration and can also improve heart health. Studies by the University of Texas have concluded that CoQ10 is essential for people with heart failure, and has saved many lives. It also improves the quality of life.

The cases of heart disease are rising rapidly in the West. There are many contributing factors; including obesity, lack of exercise, and cholesterol just to name a few. Take action now with omega 3 and CoQ10, and prevent heart disease.
