Hidden Risks to Heart Health Go Beyond Diet and Lifestyle
Keeping your heart healthy takes more than an annual reminder. In the Philippines, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, affecting thousands every year. While many focus on diet and exercise, experts warn that unseen factors also threaten cardiovascular health.
A 2025 study by NYU Langone Health revealed that phthalates, chemicals found in plastics, are linked to over 350,000 cardiovascular-related deaths worldwide. With the Philippines among the largest consumers of single-use plastics, this adds urgency to how Filipinos view heart protection.
Healthy living remains the best defense. The World Health Organization recommends at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week, no smoking, and regular checks on blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol levels. These simple steps prevent conditions like hypertension and diabetes from progressing unnoticed.
Managing stress through better sleep, meditation, and mindfulness also helps. A balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats keeps the heart strong. Omega-3 fatty acids lower triglycerides and improve circulation, while antioxidants fight oxidative stress.
To strengthen daily protection, supplements like LAC TRIMAX™ Omega Fish Oil + CoQ-10 offer targeted nutrition for heart vitality. Each softgel contains 1355mg of purified fish oil concentrate with 949mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 100mg of Coenzyme Q-10. This supports heart muscle function, helps maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure, and sustains energy levels.
CoQ-10 levels drop with age, making supplementation essential for maintaining heart strength. The formula also benefits brain health, joint flexibility, and skin comfort. It is purified to remove contaminants and designed to prevent fishy aftertaste, safe for long-term use with just one softgel daily.
Protecting heart health requires awareness and consistency. Recognizing hidden risks, staying active, and maintaining a balanced routine can help every Filipino live stronger and longer.
