A busy schedule, meals eaten on the run, stress, lack of movement and insufficient sleep have become part of many people's lives. Over time, these habits can contribute to raised cholesterol, higher blood pressure and an increased risk of cardiovascular problems.

Most of the time, the body doesn't warn us straight away. That's exactly why heart health should be supported early, through simple, consistent choices.

Cholesterol: when does it become a problem?

Cholesterol is necessary for the body, but raised LDL cholesterol levels can encourage fat to build up on the walls of the blood vessels. Over time, blood circulation can be affected, and the heart has to work harder.

An unbalanced diet, an excess of ultra-processed products, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, stress and genetic predisposition can all influence cholesterol levels. Because it can stay elevated with no obvious symptoms, regular check-ups are very important.

5 habits for a healthier heart

1. Choose quality fats
Reduce saturated fats and fried foods. Add olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocado and sources of omega-3 to your menu.

2. Eat more fibre
Vegetables, fruit, legumes and whole grains contribute to a balanced diet and can help with managing cholesterol levels.

3. Move every day
Even 30 minutes of brisk walking can have a beneficial effect on circulation, body weight and overall wellbeing.

4. Don't ignore stress and sleep
Constant stress and insufficient rest influence blood pressure, appetite and food choices. Breaks, relaxation and a regular sleep schedule are essential.

5. Include omega-3 in your routine
Omega-3 fatty acids are valuable nutrients for the body and hold an important place in a lifestyle oriented towards cardiovascular health. DHA is an omega-3 essential to the structure of cell membranes and contributes to maintaining normal brain function and vision.

FAQ

How do I know if my cholesterol is elevated?
Cholesterol can stay raised without any obvious symptoms, so the only reliable way to know is a blood test. Regular check-ups with your doctor are the best approach — especially if there's a family history of cardiovascular problems.

Why omega-3 from microalgae instead of fish oil?
Microalgae are the original source of DHA — the same one fish get it from. Algae oil is 100% plant-based, has no fishy taste, and offers high purity and good tolerability.

How long should I take Omega Gold?
It can be taken daily, in courses of 3–6 months, following the recommendations on the packaging. For personalised advice, ask your pharmacist or doctor.
