“Antioxidant compounds such as the polyphenols found in olive oil may reduce cardiovascular disease risk by resolving oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative compounds damage the cells that line blood vessels, called endothelial cells.”

“An abundance of scientific data demonstrates that regular moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity – whether it's running, cycling, kickboxing, or shimmying across the dance floor – can help prevent weight gain, improve cardiovascular and metabolic health, and reduce the risk of developing cancer.”

“Loss of insulin sensitivity in muscle increases blood sugar levels, contributing to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease development. The endothelial cells that line blood vessels are also sensitive to the ROS produced by excessive TLR4 activation.”

“It commonly occurs with aging and contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease, dementia, and stroke. Small vessel disease in the brain contributes to approximately 50 percent of dementia cases worldwide. Read full publication.”

“These findings suggest that bright light exposure activates genes involved in circadian rhythms, potentially improving cardiovascular health. This was a very small study, however, and its findings need to be confirmed in larger groups.”

“Research demonstrates that berberine may exert pharmacological effects against certain chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders, neurodegenerative disease, depression, and metabolic dysfunction.”

“00:14:10 - How telomere diseases may impact offspring even without direct transmission of an affected gene allele, because of the unique transmissible quality of telomere length where it is heritable from parents via epigenetic means. 00:15:10 - The recent Mendelian randomization studies that have connected both cardiovascular disease and dementia risks to telomere length.”

“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.”

“High blood pressure increases a person's risk for heart disease and stroke and contributes to small vessel disease, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, dementia, and stroke. Read full publication.”

“Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that includes hypertension, high blood glucose, excess abdominal fat, and abnormal blood lipids. Having metabolic syndrome markedly increases a person's risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke.”
