“Heart disease – Thymic involution and altered T cell immunity increase the blood concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines and activated macrophages, which increase the rate of cholesterol deposition in the arteries (i.e., atherosclerosis).”

“Though egg yolks contain high levels of cholesterol, eating more eggs doesn't appear to raise one's cholesterol or elevate the risk for cardiovascular disease independent of other risk factors. In fact, the American Heart Association concludes that eating 2 eggs per day is safe and is actually associated with a lower risk of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.”

“Some studies suggest cheese may lower the risk of dementia and heart disease, despite its saturated fat content—raising questions about the effects of food structure, fermentation, and individual differences in metabolism.”

“This reinforces the idea that beneficial coffee components beyond caffeine—such as polyphenols and diterpenes—play pivotal roles in promoting longevity. Cardiovascular health Moderate coffee consumption, about 2–3 cups daily, significantly reduces cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, including coronary heart disease and stroke.”

“Participants also had higher levels of lutein. These findings suggest that consuming carotenoid-rich avocados as part of an overall heart-healthy diet may reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Link to full publication.”

“In this excerpt from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's A4M LongevityFest 2023 keynote, she argues that vigorous exercise is one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging because it can raise cardiorespiratory fitness.”

“One key aspect of this algorithm is analyzing whether hourly heart rates deviate from previous norms for extended periods. If a participant's heart rate jumps up for a prolonged period, it might suggest a physiological response to infection.”

“Some research indicates that the Omega-3 Index is a good predictor of heart disease, similar to other well-known risk factors. Observational data suggest that omega-3 fatty acids help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, including death.”
