Did you know homocysteine has become a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease? Heart-healthy folic acid, B6, and B12 may play a role in the maintenance of normal homocysteine levels. In addition, regular cardiovascular exercise and optimal levels of nutrients contribute to a healthy heart.

B vitamins are a group of eight nutrients found in many popular foods like whole grains, meats, dairy products, legumes and some types of fish. Many people may not get adequate amounts of B vitamins in their diets, especially those who don't eat well, the elderly and those who consume large amounts of alcohol.

  • Consume adequate daily intake of Vitamin E and selenium.
  • Eat foods rich in Vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid.
  • And above all, exercise regularly.
