The term longevity stands for more than just a long life – it describes the ideal of filling one's years with true quality: remaining energetic, mentally fit, and physically active – well into old age. At the heart of this concept is an organ that performs incredible feats every day: your heart.
Our cardiovascular system is not only our body's supply center—it also reflects our lifestyle. Those who want to maintain heart function take a holistic approach: exercise, nutrition, relaxation—and micronutrients that support important physiological processes.
In this article, you will learn how you can support your cardiovascular system in everyday life with conscious measures and selected nutrients – in keeping with the longevity philosophy.
The cycle as a natural provider
Day after day, your blood transports oxygen, nutrients, and heat through a complex vascular system – driven by your heart. Elasticity, permeability, and functioning regulatory mechanisms play a key role in maintaining this flow in balance. Factors such as prolonged sitting, lack of exercise, or chronic stress can impair this flow – often unnoticed.
7 tips for a strong cardiovascular system in everyday life
Small changes in everyday life—regular exercise, mindful breaks, and a conscious diet—can help bring the system back into balance. These processes can be supported by carefully selected micronutrients.
1. Exercise: The natural circulation booster
Regular physical activity is one of the best ways to stimulate circulation and keep blood vessels elastic. Even 30 minutes of brisk walking, cycling, or light jogging per day has proven positive effects – and reduces the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease.
2. Laughing & Relaxing: Good for the Heart and Blood Vessels
What's often underestimated: Your emotional health also plays a role. Laughter improves blood circulation because it dilates blood vessels. Relaxing music or targeted breathing exercises can help lower blood pressure and calm the heart.
3. Eat a balanced diet – with healthy fats and plenty of vegetables
A Mediterranean diet with fresh vegetables, whole grain products, healthy fats (e.g., from fish, nuts, and olive oil), and little processed sugar or trans fat optimally supports the cardiovascular system. Also, make sure you drink enough fluids—your blood flows better when you drink enough.
4. Targeted supplementation: Micronutrients for your circulatory system
Some nutrients can be a useful support – especially when it's difficult to cover everything you need through diet in everyday life. Here's a selection of micronutrients that can specifically support your cardiovascular system:
-
Vitamin B1 – contributes to normal heart function
-
Coenzyme Q10 – important for cell energy, especially in the heart muscle
-
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) – support normal heart function
-
Magnesium – contributes to normal muscle function and electrolyte balance
-
Vitamin C – supports normal collagen formation for healthy blood vessels
-
Folic acid, choline, inositol – contribute to a functioning metabolism
You can find these fabrics in selected Nikolaus Nature products.
5. Keep your weight stable
A healthy body weight reduces stress on the heart and prevents high blood pressure. Even small, sustainable changes in diet and exercise can have a significant long-term impact.
6. Don’t underestimate sleep and rhythm
If you regularly sleep poorly or are constantly stressed, your entire circulatory system is thrown off sync. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, take digital breaks, and consciously switch off – your heart will thank you.
7. Take precautions seriously
Regular blood pressure checks, a critical look at cholesterol levels and a discussion with your doctor if you have a family history of the disease are essential – because many circulatory diseases initially have no symptoms.
These nutrient combinations will accompany you on your way to more balance in the cardiovascular system:
NN Corvital® – For vitality in the rhythm of the heart
The heart beats day and night – reliably, powerfully, and rhythmically. To provide natural support, NN Corvital® contains a combination of B vitamins such as B1, B6, B12, and folic acid, as well as coenzyme Q10, choline, inositol, and valuable mushroom extracts from Auricularia and Shiitake mushrooms. Vitamin B1 contributes to normal heart function and thus supports the central organ of your circulatory system – in a completely natural way.
NN Cholest Balancer® – Support for your fat metabolism
A balanced lipid metabolism is a valuable contribution to your cardiovascular well-being. NN Cholest Balancer® combines high-quality red rice with coenzyme Q10 and natural vitamin compounds. This special formula is ideal if you want to help your body promote balance and stability at the metabolic-physiological level.
NN Omega 3 – For vision and flowing energy
Omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA are among the key building blocks of our cellular structures—especially in the heart, brain, and eyes. NN Omega 3 provides these valuable fatty acids from high-quality fish oil in concentrated form. Ideal for anyone who wants to consciously supplement their diet—for more flow and clarity in everyday life.
NN Veinrefresher® – For ease in movement
If your legs feel heavy after a long day, or if you regularly sit or stand for long periods, conscious support of your vascular system is especially valuable. NN Veinrefresher® contains tomato fruit extract, L-lysine, and natural vitamin C from acerola. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal blood vessel function—a small but significant contribution to a more lighter everyday life.
NN Magnesium Complex – For strong nerves and rhythmic impulses
Magnesium is involved in numerous functions in the body – from energy metabolism and normal muscle function to supporting the nervous system. The NN Magnesium Complex combines four bioavailable forms of magnesium to reliably support you even during periods of increased stress. For a daily routine that follows your own, healthy rhythm.
Conclusion: Your heart deserves your attention – every day
A functioning cardiovascular system is the foundation for a long, active, and fulfilling life. It's worth taking a regular break and giving something back to your heart: through exercise, a healthy diet, quiet moments—and micronutrients that support your daily processes.
Because longevity doesn't mean perfection—it means loving care for yourself. And a healthy heart doesn't just beat longer—it beats easier when you support it in everyday life.
