Consuming supplements without doctors consultation may be useless and risky.Always consult your doctor to know whether the supplements work for you or not before adding them to your daily routine.Supplements are not substitute to medicine/treatment/cure to any disease/medical condition.Consuming handful of supplements daily which are available at counter can be harmful to your health.Whether you are interested to consume supplements to improve the life/prevent further risks after a heart disease,it is always better to consult a doctor.

The following are some of the research proven supplements that have shown to lower cholesterol,improve blood circulation,prevent risk factors that contribute to heart disease.

  • Garlic (Garlic Extract Supplements)
  • Green Tea (Green Tea powder and Green Tea Extract Standardized Supplements)
Apart from COQ10 all the above supplement replacement can be found in natural food that we consume daily.
Fiber is the best part in our food that cuts down the amount of cholesterol that is absorbed by the body.Psyllium husk is the popular fiber supplement at counter found to reduce bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol.We should intake a minimum of 25-30gms of fiber daily for a healthy heart. If you think your intake is insufficient you may look for psyllium husk supplements.Consumption of food rich in grains,vegetables,fruits,legumes can help you reach your requirements.
Sterols and stanols are found in nuts and grains. Foods like orange juice,margarines,yoghurt and almonds are rich in plant sterols.Recommended allowance is 2gm per day.There are sterol and stanol supplements available as an alternative.
Fish oil consumption reduces the risk of heart disease by lowering triglycerides and improving blood pressure.Fish oil is rich in omega-3,dha which is helpful for brain functionality as well.

Garlic helps reduce the blood clotting and plague formation in your blood vessels.So consume it in your food.There are some garlic extract supplements available at counter but prefer it to consume in food.Natural garlic is proven more effective than supplements.

  1. @Ravi Raushan Download speed differs on various factors.your laptop configuration has nothing to do with the speed.64 bit laptop is usually a great configuration.Speed will not depend on operating system or configuration.It usually depends on your data plan,number users connected to the same server/number people connected to internet on same cell tower you are,time of the day,isp up time and speed,number of open browser tabs/on going downloads/simultaneous connection etc.. to give you some solution i need more details. If you need a speed tip,i recommend installing flash block extension for Firefox and ad block plus for Firefox to speed up Firefox browser and also save a lot of data.I am using these extensions for years and they help me browse faster and save data at the same time. If you use chrome you can find the similar functioning extensions to solve your speed and download issues.Use download managers for downloading files on internet quickly rather than your in built browser download manager.There are lot of download mangers available on the internet i recommend a installer version/desktop version of the software rather than extension.I will write up an article on speeding up browser and saving data for dongle and slow internet users soon if i get some time. Speed also depends on signal strength always check for a good area where you get maximum signal.Hope this long answer solves most of your doubts and queries.happy browsing.
