Stress & Cardiovascular Health: An Intricate Relationship

We all know that chronic stress has a negative impact on cardiovascular health. This has been demonstrated time and time again. When the body enters fight or flight mode, short-term stress preps us to fight or flee, so our blood pressure increases, our heart rate increases, and our arteries get narrower because we’re going to run or we’re going to fight. The problem is that stress is not short-term; we feel it every single day. And when stress becomes chronic, it leads to other issues like sustained inflammation, which is a key problem in cardiovascular health.

That’s why it’s important that cardio formulas address the negative effects of stress. At Redd Remedies, we use adaptogens, such as Panax Ginseng and Schisandra, in all of our cardiovascular formulas so that your body has the support it needs to adapt to all of these stressors. Those adaptogens help make our formulas a powerful source of protection against stress.
