The body’s signals are a souffle of heart problems
“A person needs to develop the habit of tracking their health changes and reacting to them immediately. Ruptured blood vessels, dilated veins, swollen legs, pain in the heart area, increased heart rate, high blood pressure, aching head, shortness of breath, intolerance to exercise – all this signals that the body’s cardiovascular system needs help, says R. Blyn.
Pharmacist R. Blyn notes that people often do not realize the harm they do to themselves by avoiding regular prevention and asking for help only when the pain that afflicts their body becomes unbearable. Ailments, which are often implicated in the hand, eventually turn into serious heart problems, which cost a person more money and health. One of the most serious cardiovascular diseases – heart failure – is the result of such careless human behavior.

Everyone can help themselves
In Lithuania, 240 thousand. new cases of cardiovascular disease, but the number of diagnoses of these diseases could be significantly reduced by people with a little effort – changing the diet or enriching it with essential omega fatty acids.
Unlike some of the vitamins (B group and vitamin K) that are synthesized in our intestines, omega acids cannot be produced by the human body on its own. As a result, they must get them with food or supplements in order to function well.
“Properly balancing your diet is a big challenge. This is often not possible for a number of reasons that lead to individual difficulties, so it is important to enrich your diet with dietary supplements that strengthen the heart and improve heart function. Fishoil, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, are one of them, ”says R. Blyn.
The right amount of omega-3 mobilizes heart protection
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce cholesterol and blood pressure in the body, maintain the elasticity of blood vessel walls and regulate heart rate, thus preventing vasoconstriction and heart rhythm disorders.

The pharmacist notes that in order to achieve the above-mentioned positive effects on the cardiovascular system, when choosing fish oil, it is important to pay attention to the labeled amount of EPR and DHR – the concentration of these omega-3 fatty acids in the preparation determines the benefits.
The pharmacist adds that the recommended daily dose of omega-3 is between 500 mg and 1000 mg.
“When choosing fish oil, you should find out the concentration of these acids in one capsule or 5 ml of liquid. If fish oil is consumed in too low a dose or for a short time, no positive effects on the heart can be expected. The function that strengthens the circulatory system is activated only when the body receives the required dose of omega fatty acids, ”says R. Blyn.
The pharmacist Camelia states that the benefits of fish oil consumption for the human body do not depend on the time of year. To positively affect the cardiovascular system and maintain such effects for a long time, fish oil should be consumed at least 3 months 2-3 times a year. This long-term process should also be adapted to individual human interests – the use of fish oil with its favorite texture and taste properties.

The heat of summer is the enemy of the heart
According to the pharmacist, in the warm season it is important not to overheat, not to be in direct sunlight without a headgear and drink plenty of water. When a person sweats, the minerals needed by the heart – potassium and magnesium – are removed from his body. If you are often outdoors in the summer, do active physical activity in the fresh air and sweat a lot, R. Blyn advises to use these minerals prophylactically.
“Potassium and magnesium are especially important for the activity of the heart muscle, and their deficiency is the most common cause of heart rhythm disorders. To restore the balance of lost trace elements in the body, you should drink plenty of water – at least 1.5-2.5 liters per day. It is worth mentioning that during the summer heat, if a person does not drink as much fluids as he needs, his blood thickens. The polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 in fish oil slightly thin the blood and help the heart fighting heat, ”reminds pharmacist R. Blyn.
Start taking care of your health and enriching your diet – it’s never too late. Anyone who wants to enjoy health and quality of life for as long as possible should start with simple things – move more, try to provide the body with all the necessary substances and listen to what the body wants to say.
