strong family history of heart disease, then you need to be
diligent about protecting your heart. Even if you don't
have a family history, you still need to become a heart
healthy person. There are natural ways to protect your
heart and you will learn about a few of them right here. So
sit back and relax as you read about some of the best ways
to maintain a healthy heart.

The very first thing you need to do to protect your heart
is to take a long look at your lifestyle. Are you
overweight? Do you smoke? Do you eat fast foods on a
regular basis? How much exercise do you get? These are all
questions that you need to ask yourself. If you don't like
the answers, then you really need to find ways to change
your lifestyle. No one said it would be easy, but it will
definitely be worth it.

So once you have decided to make a lifestyle change and to
get into shape, it time to examine a few all natural
supplements that you can take to increase your heart
health. The first supplement is ginger. This is a spice
that has been proven to help lower blood pressure and
cholesterol. It also will prevent dangerous artery blocking
clots that can lead to heart attack or stroke. You can
choose to cook with ginger or you can find a good ginger
supplement to take.

A supplement called hawthorn has been used for many years
to treat various types of heart related disorders. Hawthorn
has been used to treat high blood pressure, congestive
heart failure and angina to name just a few. It contains
very strong properties that are able to make the blood
vessels stronger and improve the heart's ability to pump
blood throughout the body. This supplement must be taken
daily and may take several weeks before you notice an
improvement in symptoms. Be sure that you consult your
doctor before taking hawthorn, especially if are taking a
prescription medication.

There is an enzyme called Coenzyme Q10 that is naturally
produced by your body. As you grow older, you body produces
less of this powerful enzyme. Researchers have found that
this enzyme is important to the heart because it has the
ability to produce more energy from the cells and to
prevent blood clot formations. This enzyme is also a potent
anti oxidant. Studies show that taking Coenzyme Q10 can
help your heart to function better and decrease the risk
for heart attacks and strokes.

So there you have three good supplements that you can take
to naturally make your heart stronger and help prevent
heart disease. Change your lifestyle and take good care of
your heart. It's the only one you have.
