“Previous research has demonstrated that dancing simultaneously challenges sensory, motor, and cognitive aspects of brain function. Dancing is comparable to other forms of exercise in terms of cardiovascular demands, but it differs in terms of coordinative and cognitive demands.”

“High blood pressure is a major cause of disease and death worldwide. A person's blood pressure varies throughout the day in response to changes in physical and mental activities, sleep, and other stimuli. High variability may increase a person's risk for cardiovascular disease.”

“The study drew on data from several cohorts enrolled in the Framingham Heart Study, a long-term, ongoing study of cardiovascular disease risk among people living in Framingham, Massachusetts. More than 2,800 participants in the study were followed over a period of nearly 20 years.”

“Sleep is critical for our mental and physical well-being. Sleep deprivation increases our risk of developing many chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, kidney dysfunction, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression.”

“The mechanisms that drive the effects of sauna bathing include activation of heat shock proteins and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines; decreased blood pressure and arterial stiffness; and multiple improvements in cardiovascular function.”

“COVID-19 elicits a wide range of cardiovascular-related complications. Whether these problems are due to viral presence in the heart tissue, or they're driven by the body's systemic inflammatory response to the virus has remained unknown.”

“It plays crucial roles in regulating vasodilation, heart rate, and mitochondrial respiration. Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that play important roles in cardiovascular health. An abundance of research shows that supplemental omega-3s enhance muscle function and recovery.”

“The participants took cognitive tests and underwent tests to determine their arterial stiffness – a well-established cardiovascular risk factor for cognitive impairment and closely linked with high blood pressure.”

“As their name suggests, NSAIDs block inflammation, an important early step in bone healing. Taking NSAIDs increases a person’s risk for many complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding and cardiovascular events, such as stroke or heart attack.”

“In turn, macrophage activation promotes a vicious cycle of inflammation and further dysfunction, increasing the risk of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. A recent review and meta-analysis found that time-restricted eating reduces inflammatory markers and leptin.”
