“Having high triglycerides (200 to 499 mg/dL) or very high triglycerides (higher than 500 mg/dL) can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. A recent science advisory from the American Heart Association summarizes the data surrounding the use of prescription omega-3 fatty acids to lower triglyceride levels.”

“Prolonged stress can promote continued strain on the body, contributing to serious health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other illnesses, including mental disorders such as depression or anxiety.”

“The Western dietary pattern has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases and conditions, including overweight and obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.”

“Evidence demonstrates that omega-3 fatty acids may also be beneficial against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other conditions. A new study demonstrates that dietary consumption of omega-3 fatty acids in fish may help protect the brain from damage induced by particulate matter in air pollution.”

“After the age of approximately 63, a process called thymic involution severely impairs T cell function and is linked to increases in cancer, infection, autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, and heart disease.”

“Butyrate participates in a wide array of metabolic pathways in the body. Accordingly, low concentrations of butyrate in the blood, colon, liver, and brain have been identified in various diseases. Generally, increasing butyrate levels benefits health.”

“It is a widely accepted measure of vascular endothelial function, and poor flow-mediated dilation is a recognized feature of cardiovascular disease. Previous research has demonstrated a relationship between higher blueberry and strawberry intake and decreased risk of heart attack.”

“Robust evidence suggests that cocoa flavonoids improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, promote healthy blood lipid concentrations, lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, protect the skin against the sun, and improve blood flow to the brain.”

“Authors of a new report found that male mice experienced greater metabolic benefit from time-restricted feeding than females. Time-restricted eating, the practice of limiting food intake to an 8- or 12-hour window, is an emerging therapy for the treatment and prevention of metabolic diseases.”
