“Researchers recorded heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular deaths (collectively known as major adverse cardiovascular events, or MACE) and repeatedly measured body weight and waist circumference. Here is what they found: Semaglutide lowered the risk of MACE by about 20% versus placebo.”

“Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Findings from a 2017 study suggest that eating two meals per day, without caloric restriction, induces inter-meal autophagy, potentially preventing metabolic syndrome.”

“Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of medical conditions that includes high blood pressure, high blood glucose, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and excess abdominal fat. Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.”

“A growing body of evidence indicates that eating a fiber-rich diet decreases the risks of many chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, and some types of cancer, including breast cancer and colon cancer.”

“Despite the drugs' anti-inflammatory effects, their chronic use is associated with a higher risk of acute clot-related cardiovascular events, such as heart attack, stroke, or deep-vein thrombosis.”

“This strategy could help people who cannot tolerate higher doses of statins. Still, the available studies were small and short-term, and none measured whether this combination reduces heart attacks or strokes.”

“A broader outcome that also included nonfatal heart attack and stroke likewise showed a lower rate (25.4% versus 33.8%), but again this difference was not strong enough to confirm a clear benefit.”

“People who had severe cases of COVID-19 that required hospitalization and ventilation exhibited the greatest cognitive decline, surpassing the average decline observed in former stroke victims, as well as the mean cognitive difference between groups that differed by 10 years of age.”

“They have been shown to help prevent heart disease and stroke; may help control lupus, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis; and may play protective roles in cancer and other conditions. Findings from a new study suggest that omega-3 fatty acids slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease.”

“Many people develop hypertension (high blood pressure) with age, putting them at risk of cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, retinal damage, and stroke. Hypertension is also a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, due to damage caused by years of vessel injury, microbleeds, and lesions.”
