Supporting your heart isn’t about overhauling your life — it’s about tuning into the small, daily choices that help your cardiovascular system thrive. Heart Health Month (every February) is your reminder that prevention is powerful, momentum compounds, and your heart responds brilliantly to consistent care.
What is Heart Health Month and why does it matter?
Heart Health Month exists to spotlight the world’s most persistent health concern: cardiovascular disease. The good news? Many of the biggest risk factors — blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, and lifestyle habits — are modifiable. That means positive change is always possible, at any age.
What actually supports heart health?
A healthy heart doesn’t hinge on a single food, workout, or supplement. It’s a connected ecosystem influenced by key markers and daily behaviours:
- Blood pressure - Healthy blood pressure puts less stress on your heart and arteries, helping them stay stronger and more resilient over time.
- Cholesterol + triglycerides - Balanced lipid levels help keep blood vessels supple and clear.
- Blood sugar - More stable glucose = less vascular inflammation over time.
- Inflammation + oxidative stress - Reducing internal stress supports healthier arteries and heart muscle performance.
- Lifestyle foundations - Movement, sleep, nutrition, and stress management form the backbone of lifelong cardiovascular wellness.
How can you improve heart health day to day?
Small shifts create big change when done consistently.
Move more (in ways that fit your life)
Regular movement strengthens the heart and boosts circulation, metabolic health, and vascular function.
This includes:
- Walking (even 10 minutes at a time)
- Strength training
- Cycling or swimming
- NEAT: taking stairs, walking between meetings, standing more
Consistency matters more than intensity.
Heart healthy diet
Heart‑healthy eating patterns tend to share common themes:
- More fiber from plants
- Healthy fats from olive oil, nuts, seeds, and oily fish
- Fewer ultra‑processed foods
- Awareness of added sugars and sodium
Manage stress, enough sleep
Both high stress and disrupted sleep can influence blood pressure, inflammation, and heart rhythm.
Supportive habits include:
- Consistent sleep and wake times
- Most adults need at least seven hours of sleep each night.
- Breathing practices or gentle stretching
- Walks outside (you get movement + stress relief combined)
Know your numbers
Track the markers that matter: blood pressure, lipids, blood sugar, and waist circumference (when relevant). Awareness enables prevention - and early intervention.
Where do supplements fit in - and what makes MitoQ unique?
Supplements support heart health when they complement lifestyle foundations. This is where the MitoQ range stands apart - through a mitochondria‑targeted antioxidant molecule (mitoquinol mesylate) designed to help your cells perform at their best, including within the cardiovascular system.
The MitoQ heart‑supporting range
MitoQ Pure — Foundational cellular support for cardiovascular health
MitoQ Pure contains mitoquinol mesylate, a world‑first mitochondria‑targeted antioxidant shown to support healthy vascular function and antioxidant defenses.
MitoQ mitoquinol has also been shown to significantly improve vascular function in healthy older adults (based on 20 mg mitoquinol).
Key heart‑related benefits include:
- Supports flexible arteries
- Improves arterial dilation by up to 42% (in clinical studies)
- Supports healthy blood flow & vascular function
- Helps maintain healthy endothelial function & vasodilation
- Reduces oxidized LDL by up to 13% (a key marker linked to arterial plaque)
These benefits stem from MitoQ’s ability to support mitochondrial efficiency and reduce oxidative stress — two core mechanisms that help your cardiovascular system perform more youthfully.
MitoQ +heart - Targeted cardiovascular support
This advanced formula blends mitoquinol mesylate with heart‑specific nutrients to support circulation, arterial elasticity, and heart muscle function:
- L‑carnitine to transport fatty acids into mitochondria for heart‑energy production
- Magnesium to support healthy heart rhythm and energy delivery to heart muscle cells
- Vitamin D3 to support vascular health and normal blood pressure regulation
Together, this formula supports:
- Healthy blood flow
- Arterial flexibility
- Supports heart muscle function
- Cellular resilience across the cardiovascular system
MitoQ Triple Magnesium Complex - Heart rhythm, relaxation & recovery
Magnesium is essential for vascular tone, heart rhythm, stress recovery, and sleep quality.
This triple‑form blend supports:
