European ‘peace tree’ helps blood flow UNOBSTRUCTED

When it comes to the health of your heart and vessels, you want to make sure NOTHING stands in the way of your blood flowing EFFORTLESSLY…

Wherever it needs to go.

But too many seniors find their heart health at risk because of arteries that have STIFFENED… NARROWED… or even become BLOCKED by buildup.

Don’t let it go that far…

And don’t make your heart work harder than it needs to.

You can help keep your vessels FLEXIBLE and WIDE… and your blood flowing FREELY…

And it could be as simple as tapping into the star ingredient of the Mediterranean diet.

‘Fruit’ of the Mediterranean

The olive branch may symbolize a gesture of peace…

But it’s the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea)… that is, the olives themselves… that may have the power to give you peace of mind…

Especially when it comes to your heart health.

Now, I’ve previously shared the immune-boosting benefits of olive leaves… and why heart-healthy olive oil should be a STAPLE in your pantry…

But today, I want to talk about a specific antioxidant that researchers have extracted from olives – one that could help reduce your risk of heart disease.

It’s called hydroxytyrosol, or HXT for short.

A potent scavenger of free radicals, this phenolic compound has been shown to benefit brain health… and beat back aging.

But where it really appears to SHINE is in keeping atherosclerosis at bay.

Its ability to NEUTRALIZE reactive oxygen species (ROS) helps it support healthy vessel function.

That’s just the beginning…

Because a recent study showed how HXT can help bring down excessive levels of LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol in as little as 4 weeks.

And prior research has shown how HXT can stop the oxidation of LDL in its tracks.

As I’ve shared with you before right here in eAlert, it’s oxidized LDL that poses the greatest risk for clogged arteries!

Even better, studies have shown how HXT can boost levels of HDL (or “good”) cholesterol.

And that’s CRUCIAL for maintaining a healthy cholesterol balance, as your HDL keeps your LDL levels in check by SWEEPING OUT excess amounts.

While some HXT is found in olive leaves and olive oil (especially extra virgin or virgin), it’s MOST abundant in olives, especially green olives.

To know EXACTLY how much HXT you’re getting, you can choose a supplement that contains a standardized percentage of hydroxytyrosol

HXT is known for its high bioavailability… which means your body can use much of what you consume, rather than just excreting it out when you pee.

To effortless blood flow,
