Nerves must maintain healthy connections to tissues they are regulating, including the heart. When signs of nerve wear and tear (shaking, numbness, tingling, etc.) start to occur in the hands or feet, it means that the long nerves going to these areas are struggling to maintain healthy function. The basic nutrients needed for nerve transmission are B...

Magnesium is a key mineral for your nervous system, heart, and overall circulation. It is required in your heart to support the heart muscle’s normal contraction-relaxation pumping actions. Your heart also requires a tremendous amount of energy to work properly, and magnesium is needed in the final step of all energy synthesis (ATP production). Your...

For those who want to support both memory and heart health, the nutrient acetyl-l-carnitine shines. Natural production of acetyl-l-carnitine in the body declines with age, just as Q10 does. Acetyl-l-carnitine is one of the most powerful nutrients for nourishing the autonomic nervous system that regulates heart rhythms. A number of studies have shown that...

Your heart never gets time off for a vacation. Made up of four chambers, your heart is synchronized by nervous system control. The challenges you must overcome to keep your heart in optimal working condition are wear and tear to your heart's structure and its energy producing systems, and stress. A startling array of new science is showing that the...

Coenzyme Q10 is essential for energy production in your body; without enough Q10 you simply can not make energy at an optimal rate. Your heart requires huge amounts of energy to run properly. When you are fatigued, your nerves and heart do not have the energy they need to function in an optimal way, pointing your health in the wear and tear direction.*...

The physical fitness of the heart and the integrity of arteries, veins, and capillaries are important to maintain in good health for blood pressure to work properly. Under the influence of stress or general wear and tear your small capillaries may become too permeable or weakened, allowing fluid to escape and build up in the extremities or within...

The latest volley in the general ongoing anti-supplement campaign involves fish oil, offering only an extreme disservice to public health.

Coenzyme Q10 is a top cardio-friendly nutrient. Your heart has very high energy requirements and never gets to take any time off. Q10 is required for the proper production of energy at an optimal rate, around your body and specifically for your heart. If you lack it, you will be more tired and you will make free radicals instead of energy. If you lack...

The clear links between dental health and heart disease just got a lot stronger, which may now be a motivational factor for many people to improve oral hygiene. People with bleeding gums allow entry of up to 700 different types of bacteria directly into their circulation, increasing the risk for a heart attack.

Almost 1/3 of pregnant American women are obese. A new study shows that obesity during pregnancy significantly increases the risk for a variety of heart defects, causing poor health in their children.
