Why Heart Care Can’t Wait
For many Filipinos, heart health only comes to mind during World Heart Day or after a medical scare. But the reality is that caring for the heart should be a daily priority. Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in the Philippines, making it more urgent to look beyond diet and exercise alone.
Hidden Risks: More Than Just Lifestyle Choices
Most people know that poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking can strain the heart. But new studies reveal that less visible dangers also contribute to cardiovascular disease.
A 2025 study by NYU Langone Health found that chemicals in plastics, called phthalates, have been linked to over 350,000 cardiovascular-related deaths worldwide. With the Philippines ranking among the world’s top consumers of single-use plastics, Filipinos face an additional environmental risk to their heart health.
Everyday Habits That Make a Difference
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends simple yet powerful steps to lower risks:
- 150 minutes of weekly physical activity
- Tobacco avoidance
- Regular monitoring of blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar
Beyond these, stress management plays a critical role. Prioritizing sleep, meditation, and mindfulness helps reduce pressure on the heart. Pairing this with a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, and healthy fats builds a strong foundation for wellness.
Nutrition That Supports the Heart
Certain nutrients provide an extra layer of support:
- Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, support circulation, and help lower triglycerides.
- Antioxidants protect against oxidative stress, which contributes to heart disease.
To complement daily habits, LAC TRIMAX™ Omega Fish Oil + CoQ-10 offers a targeted boost for heart vitality.
Each softgel delivers:
- 949mg of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) to maintain healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, and circulation.
- 100mg of Coenzyme Q-10, which supports energy production in heart muscles—particularly important since natural CoQ-10 levels decline with age.
This supplement doesn’t just strengthen the heart; it also promotes brain function, joint flexibility, skin comfort, and mood balance—helping Filipinos stay energized and resilient every day. Plus, it’s purified for safety and enteric-coated to avoid the fishy aftertaste.
A Daily Commitment to Heart Wellness
Protecting your heart goes beyond cutting down on fried food or exercising once in a while. It’s about recognizing both lifestyle and environmental risks and taking proactive steps daily. By combining healthy habits with targeted nutrition, Filipinos can keep their hearts—and their overall well-being—strong at every stage of life.
