“Dietary sources of magnesium include legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and green leafy vegetables (such as spinach). The study drew on data from the Framingham Heart Study, a long-term, ongoing epidemiological study of cardiovascular disease risk among people living in Framingham, Massachusetts.”

“Cardiovascular disease is a broad term that includes coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke, among others. It is the primary cause of death among people living the United States.”

“Coronary artery calcification is a pathological condition in which calcium deposits accumulate in the blood vessels that supply the heart. The extent of coronary calcification typically correlates with the severity of coronary artery disease.”

“A new study in mice shows that choline deficiency increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers fed mice that are predisposed to Alzheimer's disease either a choline-rich or choline-poor diet for seven months, starting in midlife until late life.”

“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.”

“Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death of people living in the United States (US). Having elevated (abnormal) triglyceride levels may contribute to atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.”

“The findings revealed that habitual tea drinkers were 22 percent less likely to die heart disease and stroke and were 15 percent less likely to die from all causes of premature death compared to non-habitual drinkers.”

“A meta-analysis of 24 randomized controlled trials finds that eating ≥0.5 servings of red meat per day has no negative effect on blood lipids, lipoproteins, and blood pressure over a short period of time (2–32 wk). It is important to note that the red meat consumption had no influence, neither positive or negative, on these specific cardiovascular disease biomarkers.”

“High blood pressure increases a person's risk for heart disease and stroke and contributes to small vessel disease, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, dementia, and stroke.”

“Exposure to air pollutants is associated with poor health outcomes and an increased risk for both acute and chronic diseases. A recent study suggests that air pollution negates some, but not all, of the beneficial effects of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise.”
