One of the world's most popular supplements, CoQ10 plays an essential role in keeping all body systems running smoothly. Equally popular, and increasingly recognized as important to human health, are Omega-3 fatty acids. Together they not only enhance a healthy life, but CoQ10 is most efficiently absorbed when taken with oil such as Omega-3 oil. If your body isn't absorbing the CoQ10, you aren't getting CoQ10's benefits. There are many health strategies, in addition to CoQ10 and Omega-3 supplementation, which can help maintain good health for years to come, including a healthy diet, exercise, and good health habits.
Dietary
- In addition to taking OmegaQ10™ or another Futurebiotics product that contains Omega-3 fatty acids and/or CoQ10, eat a diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and low-fat dairy.
- The body cannot manufacture Omega-3 essential fatty acids and must obtain them from food. Walnuts and dark green leafy vegetables are good vegetarian sources of Omega-3.
- Limit animal products and avoid unhealthy fats in cooking; grill or bake foods.
Physical Activity
- Maintain a healthy weight to take stress off the heart, joints and other internal organs.
- Physical inactivity is a major contributor to poor health and obesity. Aim for a minimum of 30 minutes aerobic exercise each day.
Complementary Therapies
- How you respond to difficult situations can impact how you feel. Learn ways to reduce stress, including deep breathing techniques and visualization.
- Practice good sleep habits. If sleep is elusive, try a warm drink, soothing aromatherapy or relaxing activities like reading.
Do's and Don'ts
- Take personal responsibility for your own health. Set positive health goals and employ positive affirmations.
- Know your family's health history and take steps now to reduce your risk of chronic disease.
- Meet new people and learn new things. Stay active physically, mentally and emotionally.
