Diseases of the cardiovascular system are the leading cause of mortality in the world. Both men and women are susceptible to them. In addition, SSc diseases are «becoming younger»: for example, in recent years, myocardial infarctions have often been observed at the age of 25-35 years.[1] To reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, timely prevention is necessary, including strengthening blood vessels and preventing concomitant metabolic diseases. Cedar nut oil enriched with sea buckthorn is perfect for these tasks.
Strengthening blood vessels
There are several possible vascular problems that can lead to CVD:
- Blood vessels may lose their elasticity with age or under the influence of adverse external factors,
- Cholesterol plaques form in the vessels, narrowing them,
- Vascular calcification occurs, that is, the accumulation of mineral deposits in the vessels. It is as harmful as cholesterol plaques. [2]
Cedar nut oil enriched with sea buckthorn helps fight all three problems. Firstly, it contains a vitamin C + rutin complex that has been proven effective in increasing the elasticity of blood vessels. Cedar nut oil is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids that strengthen the walls of blood vessels. In a study that was conducted over a 25-year period, a diet rich in fatty acids was found to reduce the risk of heart disease. [3] Secondly, cedar nut oil with sea buckthorn reduces the level of harmful lipids in the blood, which prevents the formation of cholesterol plaques and blood clots. Finally, sea buckthorn is rich in vitamin K that reduces coronary artery calcification.[4]
Prevention of metabolic disorders
There is a direct link between metabolic disorders (from excess weight to diabetes) and cardiovascular diseases. [5] Excess weight, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes affect the formation of cholesterol plaques and can also weaken the heart muscle. Cedar nut oil contains rare pinolenic acid that affects the feeling of hunger and the rate of saturation when eating. It helps avoid overeating. As a result, it is easier for a person to maintain a healthy weight and adhere to a healthy diet.
B vitamins, antioxidant vitamins, and folic acid play an important role in the prevention of diabetes — all of these nutrients are found in cedar nut oil and sea buckthorn.
Thus, with regular intake of cedar nut oil enriched with sea buckthorn, you strengthen blood vessels and reduce the likelihood of developing metabolic diseases that are the most important risk factor for CVD. Be healthy!
