Heart Health This Valentine’s Day
With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, shop aisles are filling up with chocolates, candies, flowers, and plush toys—the typical symbols of the season of love. While it’s certainly a time for your heart to flutter with feel-good butterflies, we believe in the more literal act of taking care of your heart health. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and monitoring your heart rate and blood pressure are effective measures to ensure your heart is functioning at its best, helping to maximize longevity.
Beyond the physical parameters you can monitor, certain supplements can play an important role in supporting heart health. At Food Grown, we offer a range of food-based vitamins and minerals, each formulated to meet different wellness needs.
Food Grown’s Cardio Care Range:
The Cardio Care range is specifically designed to support cardiovascular health, including maintaining healthy blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and overall heart function. This range includes Omega-3 and the newly added Pure Krill Oil. Both fish-based supplements are Friend of the Sea certified, supporting your health and the environment through sustainable aquaculture.
Our Omega-3 supplement provides a highly bioavailable form of Omega-3 fatty acids, with a double-strength ratio of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) to DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). The beauty of Omega-3s lies in their ability to support immune, brain and heart health, as well as reduce inflammation in the body. Unfortunately, our diets often contain high levels of trans fatty acids, which hinder Omega-3s from fully metabolising. This means less EPA and DHA are available for the body to utilise. Since many of us don't get enough Omega-3s from food, supplementing can be both effective and cost-efficient. Our Omega-3s contain no harmful fillers, so you’re receiving pure, nutrient-rich fish oils.
Pure Krill Oil is another Omega-3-rich supplement, derived from Antarctic Krill. It contains a naturally occurring antioxidant, astaxanthin, which gives it its unique red colour. Although both Omega-3 and Pure Krill Oil offer effective levels of Omega-3, they come from different sources—fish and krill—each offering distinct benefits due to their varying structural components. Recent studies are starting to explore Krill Oil’s potential for supporting skin health. Early findings suggest promising results, with data from animal trials showing encouraging signs for further investigation. Food Grown’s Pure Krill Oil is extracted using zero heat treatments, ensuring that its nutritional properties and purity remain intact. All the benefits are delivered in just two capsules for convenience.
Choose Your Heart Health
Whether you choose to use Krill Oil or Omega-3 supplements is entirely up to personal preference. Both are beneficial supplements that support heart, skin, brain health and more. Incorporating heart-healthy habits into your daily routine can have lasting benefits for your overall well-being. This month, take a moment to show your heart some love with our Cardio Care range.
