One thing you need to take care of to live a long and healthy life.

You need a well-functioning cardiovascular system. Every organ and tissue in the body need nutrition and oxygen, and the vascular system transports that throughout the body.

Without proper nutrient supply tissue will degenerate instead of regenerate.

Calcium deposits (plaque) will reduce circulation, make the blood vessels less flexible resulting in decreased blood supply to the body and increased blood pressure.

A well-functioning cardiovascular system requires that inflammation is kept to a minimum because chronic low-grade inflammation is a cardiovascular risk factor.

There can be several contributing factors to low- grade inflammation, but the following are very important factors.

Eat a high nutrient low glycemic index diet, mostly plant based because high blood glucose and certain foods increase free radical damage which triggers inflammation (Mazidi M, et.al., 2021).

Take Berberine, a plant substance which has shown to reduce blood glucose levels, cholesterol and LDL, all cardiovascular risk factors (Zhang Y, et.al., 2008).

Take S-Acetyl Glutathione because glutathione is an extremely effective antioxidant, and low glutathione activity is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality (Buijsse B, et.al. 2012).

Take Curcumin in a well absorbed form because curcumin has shown to reduce inflammation (Panahi Y, et.al., 2016).

Glutathione is your primary defense against aging.

As we get older, our cells begin to lose their ability to repair themselves. We make less glutathione, and we actually need more. In certain conditions, younger people may need more glutathione as well.
