“These findings suggest that vitamin C might be able to decrease inflammation to a similar magnitude as some statins in people at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease based on CRP levels. Link to study abstract.”

“It is involved in many physiologic pathways, including energy production, protein synthesis, ion transport, and cell signaling. Magnesium deficiency is linked with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders, including hypertension and type 2 diabetes.”

“Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can leave lasting physical and emotional effects, including fatigue, muscle loss, and heightened anxiety about recurrence. Additionally, cancer survivors face an increased risk for secondary diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes.”

“The other half performed sham breathing exercises against very little resistance. The study investigators measured various biomarkers associated with stress and cardiovascular health in the participants' blood.”

“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.”

“Additionally, sedentary behavior is also associated with increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity which may also have a negative impact on brain health.”

“It plays critical roles in sexual and reproductive health. Evidence suggests that estrogen is protective against cardiovascular disease. Findings from a recent review suggest that estrogen protects women from severe outcomes associated with COVID-19.”

“The data revealed that the Turkana who lived in rural areas (regardless of lifestyle) had more favorable metabolic and cardiovascular biomarkers and had lower rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome than those who lived in urban areas.”

“Using blood samples collected from the participants, the investigators conducted whole-genome sequencing to identify genetic differences between the two groups and to create a risk score for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide.”

“People who regularly engaged in vigorous-intensity exercise were less like to die from cancer, cardiovascular disease, or other causes, according to a new study. Engaging in vigorous-intensity exercise for as little as 54 minutes per week provides optimal mortality reduction – but the catch is that it must be sufficiently vigorous.”
