“A recent study found that after 10 weeks of cardiovascular exercise combined with a vocabulary learning task, participants who exhibited larger increases in immune system signaling molecules also experienced stronger short-term learning improvements.”

“Those signals may also help enable training-related muscle gene programs and shift fuel use patterns. Training adaptations may therefore depend in part on this learned brain response, not on muscle and cardiovascular changes alone.”

“In this excerpt from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's A4M LongevityFest 2023 keynote, she argues that vigorous exercise is one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging because it can raise cardiorespiratory fitness.”

“00:00:37 - The inverse association between cardiovascular-related deaths and all-cause deaths. 00:02:15 - How men that used the sauna 4-7 times per week had a 50% lower cardiovascular-related mortality than men that used the sauna one time per week.”

“A new study examined how cardiovascular risk factors that can and cannot be changed relate to both plaque number and structure across the coronary arteries, the main vessels supplying the heart with blood.”

“Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Coronary Artery Calcium, and Cardiovascular Disease Events in a Cohort of Generally Healthy Middle-Age Men. Physical activity, resting heart rate, and atrial fibrillation: the Tromsø Study. Learn more about Dr. Benjamin Levine Academic profile.”

“Dr. Attia recommends using the exercise mode a person trains with, such as a bike or treadmill, and describes the tight mask, calibrated oxygen and carbon dioxide sensors, and progressively harder workload used to measure the response to graded exercise.”

“In FOURIER, 27,564 people with established cardiovascular disease received evolocumab or placebo on background statin therapy. Evolocumab lowered LDL by 59% and reduced the primary composite cardiovascular outcome over a median 2.2 years.”

“Cardiovascular disease, a broad category of conditions that affect the heart and circulatory system, is the number one killer in the world – claiming the lives of nearly 18 million people every year. Identifying ways to protect the heart is important, especially as the body ages and risk increases.”

“In an eight-week randomized trial, sedentary adults with cardiovascular risk factors completed exercise alone, exercise plus a 15-minute post-exercise sauna, or usual activity. Exercise plus sauna produced a larger improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness and greater reductions in systolic blood pressure and total cholesterol than exercise alone.”
