Matters of the heart

Flax seed oil reduces the risk of damage to blood vessels.

MANILA, Philippines - It is that time of year when matters of the heart are what truly matter. 

February should also serve as a reminder that the heart need not only be important in an emotional sense, but also in terms of our own heart’s physical well-being. Having a healthy heart improves our overall quality of life and ensures that we’re around longer for our loved ones.

 Here’s where GNC, the world’s largest specialty retailer and provider of information, services and products in self-care and personal enhancement, steps in to give us all a helping hand to support a healthier lifestyle with their wide range of supplements that have undergone 150 quality checks.

 One of these products is GNC’s Natural Brand Flax Seed Oil. Each capsule contains 1000mg of cold-milled, unrefined flaxseed oil, which is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids that supports the cardiovascular system as well as our digestive and joint health. Omega-3 is a type of unsaturated fatty acid that alleviates inflammation making it good for joints as well as reducing the risk of damage to blood vessels that may lead to heart disease. Omega-3 is also known to reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting and even boost your immunity. Normally, supplement such as: Fish Oil provides a dose of this essential fatty acid, but for those who might have dietary restrictions or have made the decision to become vegan, this is a great alternative.

Ongoing until Feb 28, GNC  has a “Love Your Heart Promo.” You get 25 percent off when you buy at least one featured Heart Health product plus any item or 30 percent off when you buy at least two different featured products plus any item and you even get a free GNC stress ball. If you add P1,000 to your purchase, you get a free digital wrist blood pressure monitor.

 GNC has 39 branches nationwide.
