If you remember back to the information I shared on Coenzyme Q10, Coenzyme Q10 directly affects energy production in the mitochondria. When Coenzyme Q10 levels are low, cells are unable to produce energy, meaning the heart lacks the fuel it needs to pump blood.
About 85% of individuals with heart disease respond positively to coenzyme Q10 supplementation and significant improvements to their heart health. However, ~10-15% do not see any improvements from the addition of coenzyme Q10. Researchers have learned the “missing link” for these individuals is L-carnitine. The combination of L-carnitine with Coenzyme Q10 is needed for some individuals to experience the additional energy boost and improved heart function.

Avocados are high in fat; however, they contain heart healthy monounsaturated fats providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection. The avocado inner flesh is a good source of the fatty acid alpha-linoleic acid. Avocados are rich in vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, folic acid, and vitamin E. They also provide the minerals magnesium (important for lower blood pressure!), copper and iron. Avocados also contain the anti-carcinogenic antioxidant glutathione, as well as the beta-sitosterols to promote lower cholesterol levels.
