“Check out my podcast with Dr. Laukkanen who discusses this study and his other studies showing frequent sauna use is associated with a 50% lower heart disease incidence, a 40% lower all-cause mortality, and 65% lower Alzheimer's disease risk.”

“The American Heart Association recommends that people who have coronary heart disease consume approximately 1 gram of DHA and EPA daily in foods or supplemental form. The randomized, double-blind study involved 65 healthy students attending Fudan University in Shanghai, China.”

“Ceramides are a class of bioactive lipids that contribute to cardiovascular disease by promoting inflammation, insulin resistance, and lipid accumulation in arteries. Elevated ceramide levels are linked to a higher risk of atherosclerosis and adverse cardiac events.”

“The results were adjusted for many possible confounding factors including baseline age, alcohol consumption, BMI, physical exercise, socioeconomic status, systolic blood pressure, smoking status, type 2 diabetes, previous heart attack, resting heart rate and serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.”

“Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess body fat, is a major risk factor for heart disease and diabetes, and may be improved by raising blood ketone levels.”

“Heart disease is the leading cause of death among people living in the United States, claiming the lives of roughly 655,000 people every year. Having high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, increases a person's risk of heart disease.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids have a long list of health benefits, including lowering the risk of heart disease and reducing triglyceride levels. These nutritional compounds are also known to have anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory properties.”

“This study was a meta-analysis of 142 articles from 95 population studies and found the risk of heart disease, stroke, and premature death decreased by 10.8% for each 200-gram (2 servings) increase in consumption of fruit or vegetables.”

“Pathological increases in the heart's left ventricle typically arise from diseases or unhealthy behaviors, such as increased sedentary time, and can negatively affect heart function. These changes usually manifest in adulthood and are robust predictors of cardiovascular disease-related death.”
