Badum – badum – badum … Your heart is beating around 70 times a minute when you’re sitting comfortably reading like this. It powerfully pumps blood through the body, tirelessly, day and night. Five to six liters run through an impressive 100,000 km of blood vessels. Only a strong muscle can do that.
But high blood pressure and poor blood circulation in the coronary arteries – often the result of arteriosclerosis – can affect it. Then the powerful “pump” goes limp. Heart failure is the medical term. At some point, all other organs also suffer from the consequences because they are no longer supplied with oxygen and nutrients as well. High blood pressureand hardening of the arteries also increase the risk of a heart attack. To prevent this from happening in the first place, doctors recommend a balanced diet – Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on vegetables is ideal – 30 minutes of exercise at least 4 times a week and stopping smoking. Still want to do more? Here you will find preparations that support the heart and protect the blood vessels.
