The Roses are Wilting: Time to Love Your REAL Heart
So, Valentine’s Day has come and gone. The red roses are starting to droop, the heart-shaped chocolate boxes are nearly empty, and the romantic dinner is a memory. We spend so much energy on the symbolic heart every February 14th—but what about the 10-ounce muscle actually pumping in your chest?
Your biological heart beats about 100,000 times a day. It doesn’t need jewelry or expensive cards; it needs targeted nutrients to maintain its rhythm, energy, and flow.
As we move past the holiday hype, I’m shifting my focus to long-term cardiovascular support. I’ve sourced these “Big Three” heart health essentials from HerbsPro to give my engine the maintenance it deserves.
1. The Energy Spark: CoQ10
Your heart is the most energy-hungry organ in your body. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) acts like a “spark plug” inside your cells, helping to generate the energy required for every single beat. As we age, our natural levels drop, making supplementation a smart move for heart muscle vitality. I take between 100mg-200mg which is recommended for someone my age, (57). I use Solgar CoQ10 (200mg) – Known for its high bioavailability and “gold standard” purity.
2. The Rhythm Keeper: Magnesium
If you’ve ever felt a “flutter” after too much caffeine or a stressful week, your heart might be asking for Magnesium. This mineral is critical for maintaining a steady heart rhythm and healthy blood pressure by helping the heart muscle relax after each contraction.
Top Pick: Nutricost Magnesium Citrate– An affordable, highly absorbable form to keep your rhythm in check. This will give you the best value, because you only have to take one capsule.
3. The Flow Master: Omega-3 Fish Oil
Clear “pipes” are the secret to longevity. High-quality Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) are clinically proven to support healthy triglyceride levels and maintain smooth blood flow. It’s the ultimate way to show your arteries some post-Valentine’s love.
- Top Pick: Natures Blend Omega-3 Fish Oil – The gold standard in fish oil with zero mercury.
Final Thoughts
Don’t let your heart health end with the holiday. Use this transition to build a routine that lasts. Invest in your engine today, so it keeps running for many Valentine’s Days to come.
