“People who fasted also lost weight and saw improvements in their metabolic and cardiovascular health. The study involved 14 people who had metabolic syndrome – a constellation of health conditions that increases a person's risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.”

“Notably, these findings were more pronounced in studies with larger participant groups (more than 50 people) and participants aged 55 or younger. A reduction of 4 mmHg in systolic blood pressure may seem modest, but even small reductions can lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.”

“The range of symptoms affected both central and peripheral nervous systems and included psychoses, delirium, encephalitis, strokes, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. The authors of the study noted a marked uptick in the number of cases of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, a potentially fatal condition that more commonly occurs in children after a viral infection.”

“Roughly one-third of working adults in the United States get fewer than six hours of sleep every night – a problem linked with a variety of acute and chronic health conditions, including an increased risk of colds, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure, and stroke.”

“No strong links were found between higher predicted blood caffeine levels and major cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, or stroke.”

“Although most adults typically have only one or two colds per year, cold symptoms are the reason for many lost days of work or school. Some evidence suggests that the financial costs associated with having a cold are similar to those associated with having high blood pressure or a stroke.”

“Sleep is critical for our mental and physical well-being. Sleep deprivation increases our risk of developing many chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, kidney dysfunction, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression.”

“The study involved 43 patients (average age 58 years) who had been diagnosed with cerebral small vessel disease, as evidenced by having experienced a stroke or demonstrating mild cognitive impairment.”

“Pericytes detach from the blood vessels in aging, driving the pathophysiology of neurological dysfunction, vascular dementia, and stroke. A recent study in rodents shows that pericytes also play roles in long-term memory formation.”

“As their name suggests, NSAIDs block inflammation, an important early step in bone healing. Taking NSAIDs increases a person’s risk for many complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding and cardiovascular events, such as stroke or heart attack.”
