2 Things That Could Improve Your Heart Health

One of the most important parts of being healthy, as we've touched on several times this month already, is keeping your heart healthy! Being proactive about heart health is something that everyone should strive for. Here are two things that could improve your heart health:

• Zone 2 Cardio - this is a low to moderate intensity level of cardio exercise - in other words, a pace where you can still carry on conversation but feel slightly challenged. Zone 2 cardio is beneficial to heart health in many ways, including: strengthening the heart muscle, enhances fat utilization, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, and so much more! Give this Zone 2 Cardio Workout a try today, and aim to fit it in 2-3 times each week!

• Cocoa Flavanols - these are powerful plant compounds that provide amazing benefits for heart health! Adding cocoa flavanols to your daily diet have been shown to improve your heart health. They are clinically proven to improve blood flow in 2 hours, keep arteries healthy and flexible, and help retain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels (found in over 20 years of research!). One study called the Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (or COSMOS study) involving 21,000 healthy adults in the US that investigated the long term impact of flavanols on health. The study found that participants who took 500mg of cocoa flavanols daily, in accordance with the study protocol, had a 39% reduction in deaths from cardiovascular disease compared to those in the placebo group. I have talked about it before, and will say it again! CocoaVia Cardio Health Powder has been the easiest way for me to add this amount of cocoa flavanols to my daily routine. I love it in my coffee every morning and also enjoy adding it into smoothies. The taste is delicious and you can’t beat the science-backed benefits! Try it yourself with these CocoaVia products and save 20% with my code DENISE2025!

I encourage you to give Zone 2 Cardio and Cocoa Flavanols a try! Commit them to your daily routine and you will see the difference in how you feel and make improvements in your heart health. Every little bit adds up and when it comes to keeping your heart healthy, YOU are worth it!!

Let’s live FIT, HAPPY and HEALTHY - together!!
