Why Heart Health Is at Risk Even If You Eat Well and Exercise

LAC Philippines Encourages Daily Cardiovascular Support for Every Filipino

For many Filipinos, heart health often becomes a focus only during World Heart Day. But with cardiovascular disease still the leading cause of death in the country, taking care of your heart should be part of your everyday routine, not just a once-a-year reminder.

While most people know the importance of eating a balanced diet, staying active, and avoiding smoking, new research reveals that the dangers to heart health go far deeper. In fact, silent threats from everyday sources could be putting your cardiovascular system at risk, even if you think you're doing everything right.

The Hidden Threats to Your Heart

Recent findings from NYU Langone Health show a strong connection between exposure to phthalates, chemicals found in plastics and over 350,000 heart-related deaths globally. Considering the Philippines is among the world’s top consumers of single-use plastics, this raises serious concern for the average Filipino.

With so much plastic in our environment, small, everyday exposures could be compounding health risks over time, especially for those already dealing with stress, poor sleep, or unmanaged blood pressure.

What You Can Do Every Day for a Healthier Heart

Despite these hidden risks, simple daily actions can still make a huge difference in protecting your heart. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the basics still matter:

Get at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week
Avoid tobacco and limit alcohol
Monitor and manage your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels
Prioritize quality sleep and stress reduction through mindfulness or meditation

A diet packed with colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats is also essential. In particular, omega-3 fatty acids play a powerful role in reducing inflammation, improving blood flow, and supporting overall heart function. Antioxidants also help fight oxidative stress, a key factor in heart disease.

Support Heart Health with Targeted Nutrition

In addition to a healthy lifestyle, Filipinos can take proactive steps through science-backed nutritional support. LAC TRIMAX™ Omega Fish Oil + CoQ-10 is a convenient way to give your heart the daily protection it deserves.

This high-quality 2-in-1 supplement combines 949mg of omega-3 fatty acids with 100mg of Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) in just one softgel. Omega-3s are essential for maintaining healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, and circulation, while CoQ-10 supports energy production in heart muscles—a critical factor as natural levels of CoQ-10 decline with age.

LAC TRIMAX™ Omega Fish Oil + CoQ-10 also supports:

Brain function
Joint mobility
Skin health
Mood balance

With its purified, enteric-coated formula, it ensures optimal absorption without the fishy aftertaste. Safe for long-term daily use, it's a smart choice for Filipinos looking to stay active, focused, and energized at every age.
