“FTA: > Researchers have discovered that stem cells taken from teeth can grow to resemble brain cells, suggesting they could one day be used in the brain as a therapy for stroke.”

“Consumption of added sugars (90% is consumed in the form of a processed food or beverage) has been linked to acceleration of the aging process. It is also linked to a 26% increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and a 16% risk of a stroke.”

“While this headset is being sold under the premise that pulses of energy could improve the motor cortex's ability to send stronger signals to muscles, tDCS has been used in other studies to facilitate motor learning post-stroke, improve motor coordination, treat depression and more.”

“Smokers have a 3-fold increased risk of dying from heart disease and have 2x the risk of a heart attack, a stroke or heart failure compared to people who have never smoked. Quitting smoking by age 45 may avoid ~90% of the cardiovascular risks.”

“Previously, the FDA warned that NSAIDs increase heart attack and stroke risk even with short-term use. NSAIDs disrupt mitochondrial function in heart cells and also endothelial nitric oxide production in blood vessels & may partly explain why chronic use increases the risk of heart attack.”

“They also took their body measurements and collected information about their overall health. They found that people who drank heavily in later life were more likely to have higher blood pressure, higher stroke risk, and worse liver function than non-heavy drinkers.”

“However, drinking more than eight sugar-sweetened beverages weekly carried the greatest risk, increasing a person's chances of ischemic stroke by 19%, heart failure by 18%, atrial fibrillation by 11%, and abdominal aortic aneurysms by 31%.”

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

“They found that women with the highest levels of hs-CRP were 70% more likely to experience a cardiovascular event than those with the lowest levels. Similarly, those with the highest LDL and Lp(a) levels were 36% and 33% more likely, respectively, to have a heart attack or stroke.”

“Evidence suggests that inconsistent bedtime and wake-up routines could harm heart health. A recent study found that irregular sleep patterns increase the risk of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes, even among people who get enough sleep overall.”
