Five diseases cause sixty eight percent of total annual deaths in America. Of these, heart disease ranks number one and stroke (cerebrovascular disease) ranks number 3. Accidental deaths from all causes, including vehicular, ranks 5th . Clearly, we need to do all we can to prevent heart and vascular disease.
We all know the heart health “formula”. . . better nutrition through dietary choices, reasonable exercise and managing our stressful lifestyles. MegaFlax Heart is a Whole Body Superfood dietary supplement that takes aim at bettering nutrition, without which we reduce the effectiveness of the other two parts of this preventative “formula”.
MegaFlax Heart combines two vital findings concerning nutrition: 1) our body’s nutritional needs are best met from whole foods that deliver nutrient dense components rich in naturally occurring vitamins, trace minerals, balanced essential fats and phytonutrients, as well as non-nutrient factors such as dietary fiber; 2) our current diets predominantly consist of processed foods that provide marginal or “empty” calories, additives and preservatives, and too much of the wrong kinds of fats.
MegaFlax Heart is a whole food based supplement that can, with daily use, help correct these nutritional deficiencies. A major ingredient is organically grown flax that delivers balanced omega 3 and 6 essential fats, flax lignans and fiber that have been shown to reduce the risk of heart and vascular disease through their anti-inflammatory, anti- coagulative, anti-thrombolitic and vascular dilatory properties.
Much has been learned in the last 15 years about phytonutrients. These are plant molecules that have diverse health benefiting properties. MegaFlax Heart combines a synergistic blend of these remarkable plant molecules that target preventative heart and vascular health. Together they can positively impact total cholesterol levels, improve good HDL cholesterol levels, reduce triglycerides, and help control blood pressure and heart arrhythmia.
Most of these dietary factors are missing from our normal diet fare and need to be provided by supplementation. These essential nutrients are provided in a whole food format that is nutrient rich, sparingly processed and combines antioxidant vitamins and cofactors that will help in your fight against Americas number one killer.
