Heart and circulatory disease is the UK's biggest killer. In 2007, cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused 34% of all deaths in the UK, and killed just over 193,000 people. Heart disease is preventable however and now, The Truly Natural Company, suppliers of natural skin care and isoflavones offer a range of products designed to ensure a healthy heart.
Coronary heart disease, the main form of CVD, causes over 90,000 deaths a year in the UK: approximately one in five deaths in men and one in six deaths in women. Death rates for CHD have been falling rapidly in the UK since the late 1970s but despite this, death rates from coronary heart disease in the UK are still amongst the highest in Western Europe.
The majority of CHD is potentially preventable. Although treatments for heart disease continue to be developed and improved, the proportion of people dying from the most acute form of the disease (a heart attack) remains high. The main risk factors for coronary disease are well established and the main modifiable risk factors include smoking, lack of physical exercise, excess alcohol consumption, high levels of mental stress, obesity, diets high in saturated fats and low in fruit and vegetables, hypertension and diabetes.
May campaigns have been run in order to draw people’s attentions to the risks of heart disease but taking active steps to prevent the disease is essential.
The Truly Natural Company’s Krill Oil is rich in Omega 3 which helps maintain the health of the heart. Lennie Taylor, Managing Director of the Truly Natural Company, which also specialises in natural skin care products, handmade soap and saw palmetto, said, “Having a healthy lifestyle is a priority today. However, healthy living means making good food choices that enhance your physical and mental health and eating nutritiously is not always easy in our fast-paced world. Many health scientists readily agree that consuming Omega 3, found naturally in krill extracts, are essential in our diets today. EPA and DHA, two important fatty acids, are crucial in heart health and many studies have indicated that Omega 3 fatty acids help to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.”
In addition, the company who specialise in weight loss supplements also offer ‘polyphenol forte’ which combines the benefits of both green tea & grape seed. Over the last few decades green tea has been subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long-purported health benefits, with evidence suggesting regular green tea drinkers may have lower chances of heart disease and developing certain types of cancer.
Dr Taylor added, “Polyphenol forte offers a range of cardiovascular benefits. It reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) as well as increasing good cholesterol (HDL) & triglycerides. It also reduces blood clotting, improves vascular strength (stronger blood vessels), promotes circulation and helps control blood pressure. It is an ideal supplement to help maintain a healthy heart.”
