What are the best vitamins to maintain a healthy heart?

I suggest none: If you spend time reading the ads promoting supplements, you'd get the idea that they are the key to health and vitamin deficiency the principal cause of disease in the wealthy nations. Not so. You're smart to take a cheap multivitamin-and-mineral supplement; more supplementing if you're a vegetarian, but keep in mind that lifestyle -- not pills -- is the principal way of keeping your heart health.

Cheap ones if any: Supplement ads create the false idea that these are the key to health and that nutritional deficiencies cause most disease in the developed world. It's not true. A cheap vitamin-and-mineral supplement is all you need & probably more, unless you're a vegetarian. The key to heart health isn't pills of any kind, it's lifestyle.
