Nourish Your Heart with Evidence-Based Nutrition
Your heart health journey starts in the kitchen. Lifigen provides science-backed guidance on heart-healthy eating patterns, helping you understand and adopt dietary habits that support cardiovascular wellness for the long term.
The Heart-Diet Connection
Cardiovascular health is influenced by many factors, and diet plays a significant role. The foods you eat can affect blood pressure, cholesterol levels, inflammation, and overall heart function. Understanding this connection empowers you to make choices that support your cardiovascular system.
Research consistently shows that dietary patterns—not just individual foods—matter most for heart health. The DASH diet and Mediterranean eating patterns have been extensively studied and associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes in numerous clinical trials.
Evidence-Based Approach: Lifigen's heart health guidance is informed by dietary patterns recognized by major health organizations for their cardiovascular benefits, including the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization.
Why Diet Matters for Heart Health
What you eat directly influences key cardiovascular health markers. Here's how nutrition supports your heart.
Blood Pressure
A diet rich in potassium, magnesium, and low in sodium can support healthy blood pressure levels.
Cholesterol Balance
Fiber, healthy fats, and plant sterols can help maintain healthy cholesterol ratios.
Inflammation
Anti-inflammatory foods like fatty fish, nuts, and colorful vegetables support vascular health.
Healthy Weight
Balanced nutrition supports weight management, an important factor in cardiovascular wellness.
