“The authors concluded that hypertension diagnosed in early mid life, but not late life, is associated with decreased brain volume and increased risk of dementia. Lifestyle strategies that reduce blood pressure, such as exercise, sauna use, dietary modification, and stress management, may reduce dementia risk.”

“On one day, they took an antihistamine one hour prior to aerobic exercise and on the other day they took a placebo treatment. The researchers measured heart rate during exercise and blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial blood flow in the thigh before and after exercise.”

“Other research has found that high fecal levels of butyric acid are associated with intestinal permeability, obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and high blood pressure. Butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid, is best known for its roles in maintaining gut barrier function and preventing intestinal permeability.”

“Children who were more sedentary had higher body fat, inflammation, blood pressure, lipid levels, and left ventricular mass, increasing their future cardiovascular risks. Conversely, cumulative light physical activity (about three hours daily) reduced pathological increases in left ventricular mass by 49 percent.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids may protect the kidneys by improving endothelial function, reducing blood pressure, and maintaining healthy blood lipids. Learn more about the benefits of omega-3s in our overview article. Read full publication.”

“The authors of the study collected information about the participants' dietary intake, body weight and composition, blood pressure, physical activity, and various blood biomarkers, including glycated hemoglobin, a measure of long-term blood glucose control (also known as HbA1c).”

“Exercise boosts the body's immune system, helping it to combat cancer. It also promotes shear—the frictional drag exerted by blood flowing against the inner walls of blood vessels. Shear damages cancer cells, driving their death.”

“They used machine learning to estimate brain age based on imaging techniques and compared brain aging among groups with various high-risk health factors. They also focused on people with high blood pressure to see how it affects brain structure.”

“In the short term, smoking thickens blood and drives up blood pressure, both of which can increase the risk of a brain bleed. These effects can be reversed by stopping smoking. But smoking also induces permanent changes in the structure of artery walls, say the authors.”

“> [New research] shows that adult offspring from pregnancies complicated by chronic hypoxia have increased indicators of cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure and stiffer blood vessels. [...]”
