“Spinal cord stimulation was able to restore some voluntary movement and autonomic functions including cardiovascular, bowel, and bladder years after a paralyzing injury without needing any significant rehabilitation.”

“People consume cannabis for both recreational and medicinal purposes, seeking relief from pain, anxiety, and other conditions. A recent study found that regular cannabis use increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly among those who don't use tobacco.”

“Physical fitness was a better predictor of survival than the number of traditional cardiovascular risk factors in people over 70. The fittest individuals were more than twice as likely to be alive 10 years later compared with the least fit individuals.”

“Although often perceived as benign, cannabis—particularly when smoked—may pose underrecognized risks to vascular health. Like tobacco smoke, cannabis smoke contains numerous toxic compounds and fine particles known to impair cardiovascular function.”

“FTA: > Drinking tea reduces non-cardiovascular mortality by 24 percent, reveals a study in 131,000 people. "Tea has antioxidants which may provide survival benefits. Tea drinkers also have healthier lifestyles so does tea drinking reflect a particular person profile or is it tea, per se, that improves outcomes -- for me that remains an open question.”

“FTA: > New research provides details on how gut bacteria turn a nutrient found in red meat into metabolites that increase the risk of developing heart disease. The findings may lead to new strategies for safeguarding individuals' cardiovascular health.”

“Cardiovascular exercise on a stationary bike induced levels of a master hormonal regulator of glucose, lipids, ketogenesis, and overall energy metabolism (called FGF21) 3-times higher than strength training exercises in a randomized crossover study. Just more evidence of why it is important to engage in both aerobic exercise and strength training exercise.”

“Just one night of sleep deprivation can impair arterial function, and chronically poor sleep increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Conversely, high intensity interval exercise can improve multiple markers of heart health.”

“Having 18 drinks or more per week was linked with 4-5 years shorter life expectancy. [...] The researchers also looked at the association between alcohol consumption and different types of cardiovascular disease.”

“These findings suggest that aspartame consumption worsens cardiovascular risk by increasing insulin secretion, altering glucose metabolism, and promoting inflammation and plaque buildup in the arteries. Notably, the aspartame dose used in the experiment greatly exceeds what most humans consume.”
