That's me. Got my heart calcium score and it's very bad. I run 15 miles a week, don't smoke, hardly drink. It sucks.
I attribute my zero cardiac calcium score on consistent pork intake. I also have a very high family cardiac risk level. I’m attributing the difference between myself and my family being dependent on tobacco use (I don’t). And I dodged the Diabetes gene (so far).
Just kidding with you about the pork. That sucks. I hope you keep going at least into your 90s and beyond.
Have you looked into HIIT training. It’s at least equal To old school cardio. I personally think it’s better.
I take Omega 3 fish oil capsules daily and have since my 40s. I’m positive that it helps with my cardiovascular system even though I take it for the natural anti- inflammatory effects.
I take 3 capsules daily. 1-2 is strictly for cardiac. 3 for arthritis pain. I used to be very weather affective. I knew when the barometric pressure was going to drop before it actually did. I now blissfully have no clue what the weather is doing.
My personal recommendation is
Nature Bounty (dark green bottle)
Odor Less (make sure the bottle says that)
Omega 3 fish oil.
Take 3 per day and altogether is fine. No need to spread it out.
Give it a month to work. It only took a week for me.
The reason I pay a little bit more for the Odor Less is that I have never tasted the fish oil. The fish oil is from sardines and anchovies and is disgusting to taste.
It’s usually buy one get one free at Kroger’s.
Costco carries it as well for 1/2 the price of Kroger’s, so equivalent.
I tried krill oil, but it didn’t seem to work for me. I tried multiple other brands and always tasted the fish oil.
