“Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body. Perhaps best known for its role in maintaining skeletal health, vitamin D also plays roles in aspects of cardiovascular health, including the regulation of blood pressure.”

“One month of dawn-to-dusk fasting decreases proteins that drive atherosclerosis, heart disease, and cancer in people who have metabolic syndrome, a recent study has found. People who fasted also lost weight and saw improvements in their metabolic and cardiovascular health.”

“Loneliness, a pervasive emotional state that adversely affects mental and physical health, increases the risk of many chronic health disorders, including cardiovascular diseases. A recent study found that loneliness increases the risk of stroke by as much as 56%.”

“The researchers randomly assigned participants to either a structured program that included regular moderate- to high-intensity exercise, adherence to the MIND diet, cognitive training, social engagement, and cardiovascular monitoring, or a self-guided version with general health recommendations but far less support and structure.”

“They found that in 2020 alone, nearly 25 million people around the world were exposed to dangerously high levels of fine particulate matter from smoke, leading to a documented rise in respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and pregnancy-related complications.”

Small vessel disease is a generic term that describes dysfunction of blood vessels that occurs with aging and contributes to cognitive decline, cardiovascular disease, frailty, and stroke.

“The main clinical-endpoint trial, however, did not significantly reduce total cancer, cardiovascular disease, or all-cause mortality. Together, these findings support a modest nutritional-sufficiency interpretation—not a claim that multivitamins broadly slow aging or prevent disease.”

“In a new study, researchers tested how one traditional Finnish sauna session affected the immune system. The study included 51 middle-aged adults in Finland who had at least one cardiovascular risk factor (e.g., high blood pressure or diabetes) but no known cardiovascular disease.”

“Chronic inflammation, which occurs on the cellular level in response to toxins or other stressors, is implicated in the development of many chronic illnesses, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.”
