According to the American Heart Association, “As blood cholesterol rises, so does risk of coronary heart disease.”
However, this major risk factor is a risk factor that you have the power to change! (more…)
Smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and one of the main causes of heart attack and stroke, which is why it is first on our list of ways in which you have the power to improve your cardiovascular health.

According to the American Heart Association, “Individual response to stress may be a contributing factor. Some scientists have noted a relationship between coronary heart disease risk and stress in a person’s life, their health behaviors and socioeconomic status. These factors may affect established risk factors. For example, people under stress may overeat, start smoking or smoke more than they otherwise would.”
Don’t forget your Res-Q 1250. Res-Q 1250 provides the proper balance of EPA and DHA, omega-3 fatty acids, to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. Res-Q 1250 improves circulation, heart function, triglycerides, and supports a healthy mood.

Heart HealthAccording to the American Heart Association, “Major risk factors are those that research has shown significantly increase the risk of heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease.”
Diabetes mellitus is one of the major risk factors. According to the American Heart Association, “About three-quarters of people with diabetes die of some form of heart or blood vessel disease.”
Lpa is an independent predictor of the risk of cardiovascular disease. Similar to LDL cholesterol, Lpa is a lipoprotein that contains cholesterol and can be damaging to the arteries. The Lpa is a tiny particle that circulates in the blood. These small particles of cholesterol are thought to be very damaging to the arteries if levels are elevated.
Res-Q HDL+ may help maintain Lpa at its normal level in order to help keep Lpa from rising. Niacin helps lower the secretion of apo B containing Lipoproteins and improves cardiovascular health. (more…)
Res-Q HDL+ provides niacin in a special form of niacin commonly referred to as no-flush niacin. Some of the health benefits of Res-Q HDL+: improved circulation, better cardiovascular health, and promotion of HDL, the good cholesterol that picks up excess cholesterol in the bloodstream and carries it away.
One of the health benefits of niacin is the reduced secretion of apoB containing lipoproteins: VLDL, LDL, and Lpa. By promoting the reduction of excess lipoproteins such as Low Density Lipoprotein also known as LDL cholesterol, niacin benefits the health of the arteries. (more…)
Deficient levels of Vitamin D increase risk of getting metabolic syndrome by 52%.
The new study was reported in Diabetes Care.
94% of the participants were Vitamin D “deficient” or “insufficient.”
Of the 94%, 42% had metabolic syndrome.
Having metabolic syndrome doubles the risk of heart disease and increases the risk of becoming diabetic by 5 times.
