The Benefits of Micronutrients for Heart Health

Our heart is (obviously) incredibly important for us to live, so making sure we’re taking the proper steps to ensure our hearts are healthy should be a top priority. One way to do this is to make sure our diets are packed with essential micronutrients. But what exactly are micronutrients, and how can they help us have better heart health? Let’s take a look!

What Are Micronutrients?

Micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, and other substances that our bodies need in small amounts. They are essential for overall health, and play an important role in keeping your heart healthy.

A few of the important micronutrients for maintaining a healthy heart include vitamin B12, iron, and magnesium. All of these micronutrients work together to contribute to a strong cardiovascular system.

Why Your Heart Needs A Micronutrient Supplement

If you think you’re getting all the micronutrients you need from your diet, you may be surprised to learn that it likely isn’t enough. Research shows that most people don’t get enough of these essential nutrients from their diets alone.

That’s why it’s important to consider adding a quality supplement like Truehope EMPowerplus

How To Pick The Best Vitamins and Supplements For Your Family

When it comes to choosing dietary supplements, the choices can be a little overwhelming.

The question is, how do you pick the best supplement option for you and your family? Some people may see a quirky commercial and gravitate toward that product, but that’s probably not the best option in terms of quality and efficacy.

Size Matters: Why Your Standard Multivitamin Isn’t Working

One of the most common questions that continues to be asked surrounding vitamins and other supplements is whether or not your body is actually absorbing what you put in it, or whether it’s simply being passed through as waste with little to no benefit.

How Stress Depletes The Vitamins and Minerals In Your Body

Stress is an inevitable part of life. Each and every person in this world is going to deal with stress at some point, and for many, it’s going to be on a fairly regular basis.

Is Your Body’s Check Engine Light On?

How To Start Eating A More Nutrient-Dense Diet

When it comes to the foods that most Americans are eating, there’s a pretty simple way to describe them: energy-rich and nutrient-poor. You’ve probably heard the term “empty calories” before; that’s what the standard American diet is.

There’s no shortage of calorie intake in this country. In fact, the average American takes in over 3,600 calories each and every day–well above the recommended 2,000 or so depending on your sex and average activity level.

Along with consuming too many calories,

It’s Time To Care About Nutrition Again

When did we stop caring about nutrition?

And, even more importantly, why did we stop caring about nutrition?

Pew Research Center did a study on American diet habits, and while it’s no secret that many of us realize that this country is by no means the healthiest in the world, it’s also apparent that many people also don’t realize just how bad it is getting. This study by Pew found that:

  • Daily calorie intake is up 23% over the last 40 years
  • Almost half of our calorie intake comes from either flour and grains or fats and oils groups
  • 58% of people surveyed said that they should probably be eating healthier than they currently are

And despite the fact that people are eating more and more in this country,
