“Cardiovascular disease: The brightest nights were associated with 32% greater coronary artery disease risk, 47% greater myocardial infarction risk, 56% greater heart failure risk, 32% greater atrial fibrillation risk, and 28% greater stroke risk.”

“Having obesity increases a person's risk for many chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and others. New research suggests that breastfeeding for a year or longer protects infants against obesity in later life.”

“A recent study found that using a sauna three or more times a week reduces the risk of psychosis by more than half, regardless of fitness levels. Researchers drew on data from the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study, an ongoing investigation of adult men living in Finland.”

“Age-related diseases like heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and cancers are on the rise, placing a significant burden on the healthcare system and economy. Interventions that can slow the aging process by just two years could save almost $7 trillion over 50 years and increase health and quality of life.”

“There they become more reliant on glucose, accelerate their mitochondrial metabolism, and produce more damaging oxidative compounds, contributing to unchecked inflammation and disease severity.”

“Obesity increases a person's risk for developing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. It also imposes considerable financial costs at the individual, healthcare system, and national level.”

“Most dyslipidemias are characterized by high plasma cholesterol or triglycerides (or both), or low HDL cholesterol. In order to determine the long-term effects of SSB consumption on cardiovascular disease, researchers reviewed data from more than 6,700 participants of the Framingham Heart Study.”

“Air pollution from diesel exhaust contains a mixture of both toxic chemicals and particulate matter. Many studies have found associations between exposure to diesel exhaust and subsequent poor health outcomes such as increased asthma, heart disease, and cancer.”

“A high-protein diet may increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and increased body fat, especially in sedentary people. However, a new study in mice demonstrates that resistance training may counter these effects.”
