Kickstart Your Cardiovascular Fitness

Every moment, every day of your life, your heart works to support everything your body does. That is some serious heavy lifting from an organ and a muscle that never gets a break. Beating around 100,000 times a day, your heart pumps 2,000 gallons worth of blood through a microscopic blood vessel system that totals 60,000 miles in length. This month, give your heart a helping hand and strengthen it with a cardiovascular exercise routine.

Studies have shown that simply doing 30-40 minutes of exercise a day can improve your overall health and wellness, while also having a positive impact on your heart. This includes both aerobic and anaerobic exercises. So, what’s the difference? Let’s break it down. 

AEROBIC Aerobic exercise focuses on elevating and then consistently maintaining your heart rate for an extended period. This type of fitness has a direct impact on your circulatory system, as it engages your lungs, heart, and large muscle groups for a substantial amount of time. Running, hiking, and swimming are all categorized under aerobic exercise. 

ANAEROBICAnaerobic exercise focuses on strengthening your muscles with short, but intense, workouts. Also known as resistance training, these bursts of activity help build your cardiovascular endurance and overall heart health, as they push you to perform at your maximum in short, timed periods. Examples of this include sprinting, jumping, or weightlifting. 

Both types of exercise provide a variety of benefits for your health and wellness. Your fitness goals can help you determine the best type of workouts to participate in; however, a little cardio goes a long way. Be sure to start slow and build up to the level your body is comfortable with. This month, work a little harder to give your heart a helping hand. Strengthen the organ that never stops working for you, with an increased level of cardiovascular fitness.

Heart Health Spotlight: ProArgi-9+

Heart Health Month is here, and we’re kicking off our product spotlights with a fan favorite, ProArgi-9+. Known as “the world’s highest quality l-arginine supplement,” ProArgi-9+ has become an international best-seller for its abilities to support cardiovascular function, build the body’s defenses, and more. 

POWERFUL INGREDIENT LINE-UPProArgi-9+ is packed with a potent array of ingredients including l-arginine, l-citrulline, and vitamin C. During clinical studies, The Hughes Center for Research and Innovation found that the unique, synergistic combination of ProArgi-9+ ingredients can “significantly and rapidly increase” the body’s production of nitric oxide—a vital component to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.
REVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE Built upon Nobel Prize-winning science, ProArgi-9+ enhances the body’s ability to convert the l-arginine amino acid into nitric oxide to help support healthy circulatory and cardiovascular function. This rapid production of nitric oxide can inhibit myeloperoxidase, leading to lower levels of oxidized LDL cholesterol.  UPARALLELED BENEFITS

Heart Health Month Is Here

Heart Health Month is here, and we are ready to start the party! Every February, people around the world celebrate Heart Health Month, raising awareness for cardiovascular disease and celebrating the body’s most vital organ— the heart. 
Cardiovascular disease is one of the deadliest killers in the world. On average, around 17.9 million people worldwide die of cardiovascular disease each year— accounting for 31% of all deaths. Likewise, the United States has nearly 610,000 deaths because of heart disease. 
Although the numbers are high, together, we can make small changes every day to help prevent heart disease. Controlling and lowering risk factors can help in the long run, and there’s a variety of ways to do so: 

• Maintain a healthy body weight
• Quit smoking or avoid secondhand smoke 
• Maintain healthy cholesterol levels and blood pressure numbers 
• If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation
• Eat healthy
• Be active

Synergy has two important goals for heart health month: to support healthy hearts, and celebrate its amazing presence in the body. As your body’s hardest-working muscle, your heart deserves special care and attention. 
This month, we renew our pledge to do our part to raise awareness about heart care, to make a difference in the health of others, and to spread helpful information and motivation when it comes to your beautiful heart.
