“Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death worldwide, claiming the lives of more than 17 million people every year. A recent meta-analysis and systematic review suggests that quercetin may exert protective effects to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.”

“These conditions, which lead to premature aging and an increased risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders, are hereditary. In this clip, Dr. Elissa Epel explains how these aging syndromes – as well as other factors that affect telomere length – can also be passed to offspring via epigenetic mechanisms.”

“In a double-blind randomized trial of 191 adults with borderline-high cholesterol, 3 grams per day of high-molecular-weight oat beta-glucan—taken as 1 gram three times daily for four weeks—reduced LDL cholesterol by about 6% and estimated 10-year Framingham cardiovascular disease risk by about 8% compared with a rice-powder control.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Tim Ferriss Show, she describes VO2 max as a practical measure of cardiorespiratory fitness and explains why vigorous intervals can create a stronger cardiovascular training stimulus.”

“Sauna use is associated with reduced risk of many diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. One mechanism that drives this reduced risk is likely heat shock proteins, a class of proteins produced by cells in response to stressful conditions such as heat exposure.”

“Aerobic exercise strengthens the heart muscle, lowers blood pressure, and reduces inflammation, promoting improved cardiovascular health. Learn how even resistance training can be aerobic in this clip featuring Dr. Martin Gibala. Read full publication.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Diary of a CEO, she explains how vigorous intervals challenge the cardiovascular system and improve oxygen delivery.”

“These studies lasted weeks to months and do not establish the cardiovascular effects of years of use, but they help explain why the preliminary observational signal supports better long-term research to define causality.”

“A new study found that marathon running, in particular, improves cardiovascular health by reversing age-related aortic stiffness. The aorta is the largest artery in the human body. It delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to peripheral tissues.”

“Surprisingly, going to bed earlier than one’s standard bedtime also showed signs of increasing RHR, though it depended on just how early. Going to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual appeared to have little effect, while going to bed more than a half hour earlier significantly increased RHR.”
