Your Guide to Heart Health Nutrition

Heart health is influenced by many factors, including diet, physical activity, stress management, and genetics. Certain nutrients play recognised roles in supporting normal cardiovascular function. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) contributes to normal heart function, while antioxidants such as vitamin C, zinc, and selenium help protect cells from oxidative stress — a factor relevant to cardiovascular wellness.

A heart-healthy lifestyle combines a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats with regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking. Targeted supplementation can help fill nutritional gaps that even a good diet may leave, particularly for nutrients that are harder to obtain consistently from food alone.

Key Nutrients for Heart Health

Thiamine (vitamin B1) has a specific EFSA-approved health claim: it contributes to normal heart function. The other B vitamins in a complete B complex support energy metabolism and homocysteine metabolism (vitamins B6, B12, and folate), processes relevant to cardiovascular health. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels and contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Zinc and selenium also contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, with zinc additionally contributing to normal metabolism of fatty acids and normal carbohydrate metabolism.

Lifestyle Factors for Heart Health

Regular physical activity (at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week), a balanced diet low in saturated fats and rich in fibre, maintaining a healthy body weight, managing stress, and avoiding smoking are the cornerstones of cardiovascular wellness. Supplements complement these lifestyle measures — they are not a substitute for them. A heart-healthy eating pattern such as the Mediterranean diet provides a good nutritional foundation that supplements can build upon.
