It’s Time to Focus on Your Heart!
This February we are focusing on Cardiovascular Health. Your heart is composed of different valves and chambers that act like a pump to circulate blood and nutrients around your body. We look at the heart sounds to determine how healthy your heart is. Heart sounds reveal a hidden world of valves, ventricles, work periods, and rest periods.
What Makes a Heart Healthy?
Rate
How fast or slow your heart is working.
Rhythm
How consistent your pattern of beats and rest periods are.
Tone
How strong your muscle and valves are contracting and relaxing.

Test Your Omega Levels
With the Omega-3 Index Plus test kit, practitioners and staff can conveniently collect patient blood samples in the office to send to the Sioux Falls-based OmegaQuant lab for analysis. A personalized report is provided to practitioners and the patient, which will include the Omega-3 Index results; ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3; AA/EPA ratio; trans fat index; as well as individualized recommendations. An Omega-3 Index between 8% and 12% is considered the optimal range.
