“While exercise is important, incorporating a level of intensity allows people with Parkinson's disease to reap the benefits of exercise. Exercise intensity can be accomplished by engaging the brain — learning a new motor skill, or by increasing one's heart rate and breaking a sweat.”

“Currently, only nicotinamide riboside has been shown to raise plasma NAD+ levels and may possibly have beneficial health effects in humans. Future research, focused on "super boosters," may have relevance for treating complex diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's.”

“Some studies suggest that pterostilbene is more potent than resveratrol when it comes to improving brain function, averting some types of cancer, and preventing heart disease. It also demonstrates greater potency than resveratrol in improving cognitive function in progeria aged mice.”

“Preterm infants have an increased risk for cardiovascular complications, many of which manifest later in life as ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and poor metabolic function. Evidence from large studies of adults who were preterm infants demonstrates that breastfeeding mitigates this risk.”

“In this FoundMyFitness presentation clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains how sauna raises heart rate, core temperature, plasma volume, and cardiovascular strain. In an eight-week randomized trial of adults with cardiovascular risk factors, a 15-minute post-exercise sauna improved fitness and systolic blood pressure more than exercise alone.”

“Despite concerns about the links between high-protein diets and health risks like cancer, heart disease, or kidney dysfunction, lifestyle factors such as physical activity profoundly influence these outcomes.”

“High blood pressure is a robust predictor of future incidence of stroke, coronary heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, and cardiovascular-related death. Men who report using the sauna regularly tend to have lower blood pressure.”

“An assay that quantifies low-density lipoprotein particle size and concentration based on a principle of physics called ion mobility may be better at identifying those at risk for heart disease.”

“Start with well-tolerated light and moderate activity, and gradually sprinkle in very short bursts of higher effort. Of course, medical clearance and supervision (as in cardiac rehab programs) are crucial for people with known heart disease or high risk.”
