“Sauna use induces hyperthermia, an increase in the body's core temperature that stresses the body and switches on physiological responses involving neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, and cytoprotective mechanisms.”

“Our findings suggest that reducing 3-HAA may be a new target for treating cardiovascular diseases." The kynurenine pathway is the major route for the metabolism of tryptophan, and other studies have found this pathway plays a key role in the increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease.”

“A recent report describes the effect of plant-based diets on growth and cardiovascular disease risk factors in children. Although cardiovascular disease is considered a disease of aging, risk factors in childhood, such as poor diet and sedentary lifestyle, may translate to earlier onset and increased severity of disease in adulthood.”

“People who were previously inactive and gradually increased physical activity over five years had a 24% lower risk of death from any cause, a 29% lower risk of cardiovascular death, and an 11% lower risk of cancer death.”

“Often referred to as the “bad cholesterol,” LDL can drive cardiovascular disease if it becomes oxidized within the walls of arteries. LDL particles exist in different sizes, ranging from large, "fluffy" molecules to small, dense molecules.”

“These findings underscore the fact that sleep has far-reaching effects on many aspects of health. Learn more in this clip featuring sleep expert Dr. Matthew Walker, in which he describes how the different stages of sleep influence both mental and cardiovascular health.”

“Sleep deprivation profoundly affects the human body, negatively influencing cognitive performance, cardiovascular health, and more. Findings from a 2020 study suggest that sleep deprivation impairs muscle protein synthesis, but exercise counters this effect.”

“The findings from this small study suggest that flavanol-rich foods help protect the cardiovascular system during stressful periods, even when accompanied by unhealthy meals. Flavanols are polyphenolic compounds in dark chocolate, berries, apples, and tea.”

“Previously these somatic mutations in blood cells have been shown to cause age-related clonal hemopoiesis which is associated with an increased risk for blood cancers as well as non-hematological diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and chronic ischemic heart failure.”

“A meta-analysis of over 30 studies conducted in China finds that people 50 years old and older are around 2.5x more likely to progress to a severe case of COVID-19, males had 1.3x higher risk, smoking increased risk 1-2x, and pre-existing conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease increased risk by 2-3x.”
