“These findings suggest that breathing techniques that moderate heart rate variability reduce amyloid-beta burden in healthy people, potentially reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Learn about other strategies to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease in this episode featuring Dr. Dale Bredesen.”

“Smokers have a 3-fold increased risk of dying from heart disease and have 2x the risk of a heart attack, a stroke or heart failure compared to people who have never smoked. Quitting smoking by age 45 may avoid ~90% of the cardiovascular risks.”

“A new study finds that people who are obese with no health complications still have a 50% greater risk of heart disease and ~2x the risk of developing heart failure than people who are not overweight and in similar metabolic health.”

“Such studies have provided strong evidence in humans that the environment experienced during critical periods of development can directly influence long-term cardiovascular health and heart disease risk.”

“The study involved more than 56,000 people who were free of cardiovascular disease at enrollment. Researchers tracked the participants' health for roughly 16 years to assess their activity levels and risk of death from heart disease or stroke.”

“Findings of a new report link high saturated-fat diets to increased heart disease biomarkers among mice with high levels of E. coli bacteria. The gut microbiota, the community of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses that lives in the human intestine, is highly influenced by changes in diet.”

“New comprehensive analysis of both prospective studies and clinical trials shows frequent sauna use may reduce the risk of heart disease, neurocognitive diseases, mental health disorders, pulmonary diseases, and mortality.”

“The group was 24 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer within the first two years of the study than men who reported no heart disease, and by four years into the study, this group's prostate cancer risk was 74 percent higher.”

“A 2009 meta-analysis found that people with low cardiorespiratory fitness were 70 percent more likely to die prematurely and 56 percent more likely to experience a heart or cardiovascular disease-related event.”

“A new meta-analysis found no link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease but did find that a Mediterranean diet (41% fat) supplemented with at least 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or a handful of nuts lowered the risk of cardiovascular events by 30% compared to a low-fat (37% fat) diet.”
