“The drug mimics GLP-1, a hormone that helps the pancreas release insulin and the brain regulate appetite. But certain cells in the heart, blood vessels, and other tissues also carry GLP-1 receptors, allowing them to respond to the same signal.”

“Proteins with favorable heart and metabolic disease associations in a separate large health database were concentrated in the sprint-specific response. All-out cycling forces working muscles to break down fuel and recycle energy rapidly, producing an immediate rise in metabolites.”

“People with metabolic syndrome are at higher risk for developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Findings from a new study suggest that fasting "jump starts" dietary strategies to improve symptoms of metabolic syndrome.”

“As in humans, this FOXO ortholog switches on genes that protect against oxidative stress, pathogens, and protein structural damage, promoting disease and decreasing longevity. Scientists are currently on the cusp of learning about FOXO and longevity in mammals.”

“Not getting enough sleep is associated with increased risk for many chronic diseases, including high blood pressure, stroke, and cancer. Although many pharmaceutical sleep aids are available, they carry risks and do not provide good quality sleep.”

“People who started life with a sedentary lifestyle can still reap the longevity-promoting benefits of exercise. Starting a new aerobic exercise habit, even at age 70, cuts heart disease death in half. Link to full publication.”

“Lifestyle habits or drugs that increase beta-hydroxybutyrate may extend healthspan and reduce disease risk by slowing the rate of senescence. The researchers conducted an experiment that involved culturing human vascular endothelial (i.e., blood vessel cells) from the umbilical cord and aorta, followed by an experiment with mice.”

“Evidence suggests that coffee consumption reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease-related deaths and certain types of cancer. Findings from a new study suggest that caffeine in coffee improves fat metabolism when consumed prior to exercise.”

“Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Findings from a 2017 study suggest that eating two meals per day, without caloric restriction, induces inter-meal autophagy, potentially preventing metabolic syndrome.”

“Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of medical conditions that includes high blood pressure, high blood glucose, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and excess abdominal fat. Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.”
