“Findings from a study published earlier this year suggest that dietary potassium and magnesium markedly decrease the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Potassium is an essential mineral that plays key roles in cardiac function.”

“The question still remains whether there is an "optimal" running dose... and even if it does exist, it may vary from person to person. Other studies have found that even extremely high levels of running (40 miles per week) have been linked to a 26% lower risk of coronary heart disease when compared to someone that runs "only" 13 miles per week.”

“There's been a series of conflicting observational studies that either show or don't show (depending on which one you're looking at) a link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease.”

“The greatest reductions in risk were seen around 7,000 steps per day, which was associated with a 47% lower risk of death, a 25% lower risk of developing heart disease, a 38% lower risk of dementia, and a 22% lower risk of depressive symptoms.”

“Findings from a prospective, multicentered, randomized controlled trial involving 149 patients with advanced CHF demonstrated that two weeks of waon therapy improved the patients' endurance, heart size, and disease status compared to those who received standard medical care.”

“A recent study found that eating a high-protein breakfast increases gene expression associated with cardiovascular health, potentially protecting teens against heart disease later in life. The study included 30 teens who routinely skipped breakfast.”

“People who have metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. A new study suggests that time-restricted eating may reduce this risk. Time-restricted eating is a form of daily fasting that aligns eating and fasting cycles to the body’s innate 24-hour circadian system.”

“Concentrations of large, fluffy LDL particles were unchanged. Participants also had higher levels of lutein. These findings suggest that consuming avocados as part of an overall heart-healthy diet may reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.”

“00:35:22 - How smartwatches that can detect heart rate variability may help detect some heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation – a forerunner for heart disease. 00:36:49 - How measuring a person's exposome can identify what airborne pathogens they've been exposed to and what this means for disease risk.”

“Cardiovascular disease, a broad category of conditions that affect the heart and circulatory system, is the number one killer in the world – claiming the lives of nearly 18 million people every year. Identifying ways to protect the heart is important, especially as the body ages and risk increases.”
