“AGEs can crosslink with protein and lipids, including collagen, reduce the elasticity of our heart and contribute to a stiffening of blood vessels, and promote high blood pressure, putting us at risk for cardiovascular disease.”

“The investigators searched the scientific literature to identify studies examining links between paternal alcohol consumption and congenital heart disease risk. They filtered their results based on a set of criteria designed to identify studies of high quality.”

“Consumption of sugary drinks increases risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a dose-dependent manner -- the more you drink, the greater the risk. The study is the first to demonstrate such a direct, dose-dependent relationship.”

“Barley has a type of fiber called inulin which has been shown to stimulate gut-derived hormones involved in sugar regulation and appetite regulation.”

“Compared with earlier chronological-age clocks, PhenoAge better predicts mortality, healthspan, physical function, cancer risk, coronary heart disease risk, and Alzheimer's disease-related outcomes.”

“Then, using national disease registers, they ascertained the incidence of various cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure, aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aorta), atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythm), and abdominal aortic aneurysm (ballooning of the major blood vessel in the abdomen).”
