3 Things You Can Do to Support Your Heart Health
One of the most important parts of being healthy is keeping your heart healthy! Being proactive about heart health is something that everyone should strive for. Here are three impactful changes that you can make in your daily life to improve your heart health.
- Exercise - Get your body moving! Regularly raising your heart rate is one of the best things you can do to improve your heart health. Your heart is a muscle after all, so the more you work it (which is what you’re doing by getting your heart rate up) the stronger it will get! I like to suggest that you exercise 30 minutes at least three times each week. Get outside and walk or try this Heart Healthy Interval Training workout!
BEETS+ To Support Heart Health
Adding powerful bioactives, like beetroot, to your daily routine is a simple, effective way to support heart health. Beets are rich in naturally occurring nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide, a compound that helps improve blood flow, support healthy circulation, and keep blood vessels flexible and strong. Healthy nitric oxide levels are also linked to balanced blood pressure and overall cardiovascular function.
Research continues to show that improving circulation plays a key role in long-term heart health, especially as we age. That’s why I love BEETS+—it’s an easy, convenient way to support nitric oxide production every single day without having to juice or cook beets. I mix it into water or a smoothie, and it tastes great while helping me feel energized and supported from the inside out.
If you’re looking for a simple daily habit to support your heart, circulation, and overall vitality, I highly recommend giving BEETS+ a try.

- Eat Fiber - A greater intake of fiber has been shown to help support heart health as you age. It is suggested that women over the age of 50 aim for about 20-25 grams each day. Lentils, oats, chickpeas, almonds and chia seeds are a few foods that pack a high fiber punch!
Make these three small changes in your lifestyle and you will see the difference in how you feel and make improvements in your heart health. Every little bit adds up and when it comes to keeping your heart healthy, YOU are worth it!!
Let’s live FIT, HAPPY and HEALTHY - together!!
