Your Plan for a Healthy Long Life

• Heart Health
• Blood Vessels

HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is often known as the "good" cholesterol. It helps transport cholesterol away from the blood, returning it to the liver, which keeps arteries clear and blood flowing smoothly. Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are desirable for maintaining good heart health.

• Heart Health
• Blood Vessels

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, often called "bad" cholesterol, can build up in your arteries, reducing blood flow and potentially leading to heart attacks or strokes. Managing your LDL cholesterol levels is essential for safeguarding your heart and overall health.

• Heart health
• Blood vessels health

Elevated triglycerides are a key risk factor for developing heart disease by contributing to the development of arterial plaque and atherosclerosis. Triglyceride levels are influenced by diet, with a high intake of saturated fats and refined carbohydrates increasing their levels. Conversely, a balanced diet, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, can help regulate triglyceride levels, mitigating this risk and promoting overall cardiovascular well-being.

• Immunity
• Bone health
• Mood management

Vitamin D plays a pivotal role in maintaining strong bones and supporting immune function. You can naturally produce it in your skin when exposed to sunlight or obtain it from dietary sources such as oily fish, red meat, liver, and egg yolks. Fortified foods and dietary supplements are also reliable options to ensure you get your essential dose of vitamin D.

• Metabolism
• Cognition
• Fatigue

Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, is crucial for nerve health, red blood cell formation, and efficient metabolism. Ensuring an adequate intake of vitamin B12 helps prevent fatigue, anemia, and neurological problems. You can primarily find this essential vitamin in foods of animal origin, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products.

• Energy
• Oxygen supply
• Iron transport

Transferrin, a vital glycoprotein in the blood, regulates and transports iron throughout the body. Its primary role is to bind to iron, ensuring its safe delivery for essential physiological processes, including the formation of hemoglobin. Transferrin plays a crucial role in supporting overall health by facilitating proper iron transport, preventing iron-related disorders such as anemia, and contributing to overall well-being. Transferrin levels are influenced by dietary intake of iron-rich foods such as red meat and poultry, fish, beans, lentils, or tofu.

• Energy
• Oxygen supply
• Iron reserves

Ferritin is a key intracellular protein that stores and releases iron in response to the body's needs. It plays a crucial role in maintaining iron balance and preventing iron deficiency or excess. By storing iron in a soluble and non-toxic form, ferritin ensures a controlled and accessible supply for essential cellular functions. Ferritin levels are influenced by dietary intake of iron-rich foods such as red meat and poultry, fish, beans, lentils, or tofu.
