 Most of all people don't like to make regular workouts or body exercise. What would be the minimum of body exercise that we do need to keep our body healthy?  After the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and other health organizations are the minimum of training per week:A.) 150 minutes of moderate aerobic (or cardio) exercise, or B.) 75 minutes of intense aerobic exercise (or a combo of both), C.)  plus two sessions of total-body strength training.A.) The150 minutes moderate cardio exercise can be a power walk or a bicycle ride where at least your heart is pumping harder for 10 minutes, and you should sweat a little bit.B.) The 75 minutes of intense cardio training should be hard running or swimming.You can make for instance 5 times 30 minutes moderate cardio exercise or 3 times 25 minutes intense cardio training over the week. For sure it is better to exercise every day. If you can't make your body exercise every day, just do it over the weekend. This cardio exercise will make your cardiovascular system much better, and that is good enough.  Even 80% of Americans fail to do this minimum on training.  C.) The two sessions of total-body strength training should be for your major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms) through a variety of exercises when you do them. It is not important how much time you spend it is important that you build up your muscles. And you don't need to become a Tarzan or Arnold Schwarzenegger.If you keep this training (A or B + C) for your life you will gain much better health… My Video: What's the Least Amount of Body-Exercise? https://youtu.be/FSRrQMI9GukMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/What-is-the-Least-Amount-of-Body-Exercise.mp3

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Levels, and Air Doctor. What if there was one key nutrient that could boost your health, increase longevity, reduce chronic inflammation, and lower your risk of Alzheimer's? You've probably heard of it: omega-3! But here's the surprising part—over 90% of the population has suboptimal omega-3 levels. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes with Dr. Bill Harris, a world-renowned researcher, to dive into decades of research on omega-3s and their powerful impact on health. Dr. Harris explains the correlation between optimal omega-3 levels and longer life spans, reduced rates of depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer's, as well as their role in lowering chronic inflammation. As one of the most researched nutrients—and among the top three that can drastically improve health—omega-3s are essential. In this episode, Dr. Harris shares insights on choosing quality fish and supplements, understanding optimal omega-3 levels, and testing your levels through the OmegaQuant Institute. If you're looking for inspiration to prioritize omega-3s in your diet, this conversation is a must-listen! William S. Harris, PhD, FASN, has been a leading researcher in the field of omega-3 fatty acids for 40 years. He has authored over 300 scientific papers on fatty acids and health, served on the faculty of three medical schools, and received five NIH grants to study omega-3s. Dr. Harris co-authored three American Heart Association (AHA) statements on fatty acids and heart health. As the co-inventor of the Omega-3 Index and other omega-3 blood tests, as well as the founder of OmegaQuant Analytics, Dr. Harris has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists worldwide for the impact of his research. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Harris dive into: Higher levels of omega-3's lead to a longer life (00:00:35) Omega-3s are in the top three nutrients that can improve our health (3:00) Mindblowing research on smokers and the protective nature of omega-3s (5:25) The link between low omega-3s, depression, mood, and anxiety (16:12)  High levels of omega-3s and their correlation to reducing the risk for dementia and Alzheimer's (20:21) The research behind omega-3's and reducing chronic inflammation (28:32)  The average omega-3 levels versus optimal levels (30:45)  What has led to omega-3 deficiencies and the rise in ultra-processed food consumption (31:10)   Reducing triglyceride levels with fish oil and the impact on our cells (32:43)  What are EPA, DHA, and ALA, and the sources of each (36:35) How much fish consumption is optimal, and what kind (44:40) Testing your levels via the Omega-3 index and optimal ranges (49:40) Choosing the right fish oil and general dosage (59:10)  Testing pregnant women and children (1:22:40)  Why the omega-3s aren't being tested for and prescribed by every doctor (1:26:00)  Also mentioned in this episode: Testing via OmegaQuant Fatty Acid Research Insitute  For more on Dr. Harris, follow OmegaQuant via Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.  This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Levels, and Air Doctor.

Hoy abordaremos una actualización esencial en el ámbito de las emergencias: la Actualización 2024 de las Guías de Resucitación tras Ahogamiento de la American Heart Association (AHA) y la American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Este tema es fundamental, ya que el ahogamiento sigue siendo una de las principales causas de muerte no intencional en el mundo. El ahogamiento se define como el proceso de experimentar insuficiencia respiratoria por inmersión en agua y, si no se actúa de inmediato, este evento progresa de una parada respiratoria a una parada cardíaca. La resucitación en estos casos requiere intervenciones específicas que consideren la hipoxia severa como causa principal del paro. Hoy discutiremos las recomendaciones clave y los puntos a tener en cuenta al responder a emergencias de ahogamiento, ya sea que seas un rescatista laico o un profesional de la salud. LA CADENA DE SUPERVIVENCIA EN AHOGAMIENTOS Presentador: Comencemos con el concepto de la Cadena de Supervivencia en Ahogamientos. Esta cadena es un enfoque sistemático que establece cinco pasos críticos para aumentar la supervivencia de la persona ahogada. Paso 1 - Prevención del Ahogamiento: La prevención es siempre el primer paso. Las guías indican que más del 90% de los ahogamientos son prevenibles. Entre las medidas de prevención se encuentran: instalar barreras para evitar el acceso a áreas de agua, usar chalecos salvavidas en actividades acuáticas y garantizar la supervisión de niños en áreas cercanas al agua. Paso 2 - Reconocer el Peligro y Activar la Ayuda: Reconocer que alguien está en peligro es crucial para activar la ayuda rápidamente. Es importante recordar que una persona ahogada no siempre puede pedir auxilio, ya que el instinto por respirar es tan fuerte que impide que levante los brazos o grite. Paso 3 - Proporcionar Flotación: Antes de intentar un rescate, las guías recomiendan ofrecer un dispositivo de flotación si está disponible. Esto ayuda a evitar que el rescatador se convierta en una segunda víctima y permite estabilizar a la persona en el agua. Paso 4 - Sacar del Agua de Forma Segura: Si es seguro, el siguiente paso es sacar a la persona del agua. Esto facilita la evaluación y el manejo posterior. Las guías sugieren que si la persona está inconsciente, se realice la extracción en una posición lo más horizontal posible para evitar comprometer aún más la vía aérea. Paso 5 - Iniciar Soporte Vital Básico y Avanzado: Finalmente, se debe iniciar el soporte vital básico (SVB) lo antes posible. Si la parada es confirmada y llega el equipo de emergencia, deben iniciar el soporte vital avanzado (SVA) para mejorar las probabilidades de supervivencia. IMPORTANCIA DE LA VENTILACIÓN Y EL MANEJO DE LA VÍA AÉREA La siguiente recomendación clave en esta actualización se centra en el manejo de la vía aérea y la ventilación. A diferencia de otras paradas cardíacas, el ahogamiento requiere una prioridad en la ventilación debido a la hipoxia severa causada por el agua en los pulmones. Recomendación para Respiración de Rescate en el Agua: Si el rescatador está entrenado y es seguro hacerlo, las guías recomiendan iniciar la respiración de rescate en el agua. Esta intervención temprana ayuda a prevenir que el ahogamiento avance a un paro cardíaco completo. Sin embargo, se debe valorar constantemente la seguridad del rescatador, ya que no se debe comprometer la seguridad personal. Recomendación sobre Administración de Oxígeno: Otra recomendación importante es administrar oxígeno lo antes posible cuando esté disponible, ya que la hipoxia severa es la causa principal de la parada. No obstante, se enfatiza que la administración de oxígeno no debe retrasar el inicio de una RCP de alta calidad si la persona ya está en paro. USO DEL DESFIBRILADOR EXTERNO AUTOMÁTICO (DEA) Y RCP EN AHOGAMIENTO Un aspecto único de la resucitación tras ahogamiento es el orden de prioridad entre RCP y DEA. Debido a que los ritmos desfibrilables son poco comunes en el ahogamiento, las guías enfatizan que es más efectivo iniciar la RCP con ventilación antes de aplicar el DEA. Recomendación sobre el Orden de RCP y DEA: En caso de ahogamiento con paro, la prioridad debe ser la RCP con ventilación antes de aplicar el DEA. Aunque la desfibrilación es útil si se detecta un ritmo desfibrilable, la mayoría de los paros por ahogamiento no tienen este tipo de ritmo, por lo que no debe retrasarse la RCP buscando un DEA. Uso de DEA en Ritmos Desfibrilables: Si se cuenta con un DEA y es seguro usarlo, puede aplicarse en caso de un ritmo desfibrilable. Sin embargo, siempre priorizando la RCP y evitando que la búsqueda de un DEA retrase las compresiones y ventilaciones necesarias para el paciente ahogado. BRECHAS Y NECESIDADES DE INVESTIGACIÓN FUTURA Un aspecto importante que resaltan las guías es la necesidad de continuar investigando la resucitación y prevención del ahogamiento en diferentes contextos y regiones. Se identificaron algunas brechas de conocimiento, como la falta de recursos en áreas remotas o de bajos ingresos y la implementación de programas de desfibrilación pública en áreas acuáticas. Recomendación de Educación y Entrenamiento Comunitario: Las guías sugieren fortalecer la educación comunitaria sobre técnicas de rescate y resucitación, especialmente en áreas con alta incidencia de ahogamientos. También se recomienda promover la formación en soporte vital básico y avanzado en todas las comunidades para mejorar los tiempos de respuesta y la calidad de la resucitación. CONCLUSIÓN Para resumir, hemos cubierto las recomendaciones esenciales de la actualización 2024 de la AHA y la AAP sobre resucitación tras ahogamiento. Como hemos visto, los elementos clave incluyen: Priorizar la ventilación y la vía aérea en el manejo de los ahogamientos, dado que la hipoxia es la causa principal del paro. Iniciar RCP con ventilación sin retraso y solo usar el DEA si está disponible y se detecta un ritmo desfibrilable. Fortalecer la educación y prevención en las comunidades para reducir la incidencia de ahogamientos y mejorar la respuesta en estos eventos.

Do you ever wish that your hormonal health and menopause journey were clearer and better understood?On today's episode, join me in welcoming Dr. James Simon as we dive deep into the impacts of hormone therapy on cardiovascular health, bone health, and overall well-being during menopause. This conversation sheds light on pivotal findings from the Women's Health Initiative, which revealed that early use of estrogen or hormone therapy close to menopause significantly benefits cardiovascular health. Dr. Simon shares compelling patient cases where hormone therapy decisions were guided by coronary artery calcium scores, lipid profiles, and cardiovascular risk factors. I explore the potential of estradiol for easing perimenopausal symptoms and brings up ongoing studies, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based practice.We discuss the emerging molecule, estetrol, a naturally occurring fetal estrogen. This hormone is showing promising results in not just birth control but also in vaginal estrogen products and treatments for menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats. Estetrol's benefits on bones, blood vessels, and heart health make it a potential game-changer for menopausal therapy.We also touch on the broader problem of cookie-cutter medicine and the importance of individualized treatment plans. Dr. Simon dispels the myth around hormone therapy and breast cancer risk, citing the Women's Health Initiative's findings. I also talk about the need for tailored treatment, especially given the high prevalence of heart disease and diabetes in specific populations, such as the South Asian community. Highlights:Cardioprotective Benefits: Early hormone therapy near menopause can offer cardiovascular benefits. Delaying it may increase risks.Breast Cancer Survivors: Shared decision-making in hormone therapy post-treatment shows emerging evidence of safety after a period.Brain Health: Hormones might help reduce or prevent Alzheimer's and dementia by affecting brain energy metabolism.Testosterone Therapy: Dr. Simon advocates for the benefits and safety of testosterone therapy in menopausal women, although an FDA-approved product is still awaited.Patient Advocacy: Dr. Simon provides tips on advocating for yourself in healthcare, finding menopause experts, and staying informed.If you enjoyed this episode, please like, share, and give us a 5-star review on Apple!

Kathryn interviews Author Wakisha Stewart.Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of maternal mortality in the United States, accounting for over one-third of maternal deaths, with Black women having among the highest maternal mortality rates. Why is childbirth such a risky condition for U.S. women's health, especially for Black women—and what can be done about it? Wakisha (Kisha) Stewart shares her near death experience following her second pregnancy and the racial disparities in the healthcare industry that contributed to it. Her memoir is both a moving, lyrically told story of a decade-long struggle to survive a near-fatal heart attack with dignity and a clarion call for community-wide mobilization to guarantee health care equity. She is a nurse and was a national spokeswoman chosen in 2022 by the American Heart Association (AHA) to educate the public about the risks of cardiovascular disease.Kathryn also interviews Author Lindsey Glass.This first, most important bond, the mother-daughter relationship, can be fraught with pitfalls and devastating ups and downs — the seeds for which may have been planted generations ago. Sometimes, it can seem like the conflicts have no end, leaving the mother or daughter exhausted, exasperated and sad for all that has been lost. Bestselling author Leslie Glass and her daughter, award-winning documentarian Lindsey Glass, share their guide to help readers repair the fractures in their mother-daughter relationships. Through sharing their own compelling, tumultuous history, they help readers understand that even if mothers and daughters go off track, go to war and part ways for years, they can still find their way back to friendship, understanding and love. They are editors of the popular online recovery and wellness magazine Reach Out Recovery. Together, they produced the award-winning documentary The Secret World of Recovery and the WEDU/ PBS special The Silent Majority.

What happens when your frontline employees are tired of apologizing on behalf of the company? When public perception isn't in your favor? This was the reality Oscar Munoz faced when he took the role of CEO and chairman of United Airlines in 2015. So he went back to basics, embarking on an extensive listening tour with thousands of employees — and in time, things turned for the better. We sat down with Oscar to learn about that journey, what's changed since and the value of deploying this strategy. Oscar will lead a spotlight session at IABC World Conference 2024, “Leadership Is an Act of Extended Storytelling.” The format will be part fireside chat and part town hall, to which Oscar says in this episode: “Bring it!” Bring your best questions, ask him about failure and get ready for a refreshing way to kick off your time at World Conference. Tune in to this inspiring conversation and make plans to see Oscar this June in Chicago.  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Oscar Munoz is the former CEO and chairman of United Airlines (UAL) and serves on the board of directors of Salesforce, CBRE, TelevisaUnivision, and Archer Aviation, a leading Urban Air Mobility company and developer of all-electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft. He serves on the Pentagon's Defense Business Board, is a trustee of the University of Southern California and the Brookings Institution, as well as an independent trustee for Fidelity. He is the author of the Wall Street Journal best-selling memoir, “Turnaround Time: Uniting an Airline and its Employees in the Friendly Skies,” published by Harper Business in May 2023. He is co-chair of the 2023 Blue Ribbon Commission for the National Association of Corporate Directors, the authority on best boardroom practices. Since 2022, the Oscar and Cathy Munoz Pave it Forward Foundation has proudly partnered with the American Heart Association (AHA) to create the AHA's Social Impact Fund, providing financial grants and low interest loans for evidence-based, community-driven work to address heart health inequality. Under his leadership, United Airlines demonstrated rapid improvement, delivering industry-leading operational reliability, and sustained financial success, with stock value increasing 54 percent during that period. Munoz formally retired as UAL's executive chairman in May 2021. Previously, Munoz served as president and chief operating officer of the North American rail-based transportation supplier CSX Corp. A decade of excellent financial performance, including a boost in operating income of nearly 600 percent, earned CSX recognition on the list of Most Honored Companies by Institutional Investor magazine. He has served in various financial leadership positions across diverse industries, including U.S. West, AT&T, Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo.  He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business and an MBA from Pepperdine's Graziadio Business School. Hispanic Business magazine twice named Munoz one of its 100 Most Influential Hispanics, honoring his journey as an immigrant who, to this date, remains the only person of Hispanic heritage to run a U.S. airline. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ LINKS Mentioned in This Episode "Leadership Is an Act of Extended Storytelling”: A Fireside Chat and Town Hall With Oscar Munoz IABC World Conference 2024 “Turnaround Time: Uniting an Airline and its Employees in the Friendly Skies,” by Oscar Munoz Connect With IABC on social media https://twitter.com/iabc https://www.linkedin.com/company/iabc/ https://www.facebook.com/IABCWorld  https://www.youtube.com/user/IABClive https://www.instagram.com/iabcgram/ Visit IABC Online https://www.iabc.com/ https://catalyst.iabc.com/ https://wc.iabc.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/iabc/message

Heart Disease is the #1 killer of women in this country yet many women don't recognize the signs.

Host: Javed Butler, MD, MBA, MPH Guest: Chiadi Ndumele, M.D., Ph.D., M.H.S. For the first time, the American Heart Association (AHA) has identified cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, which reflects a strong overlap between heart disease, kidney disease, and obesity. The major clinical consequence of CKM syndrome is multi-organ dysfunction with a particularly high incidence and burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and the result of this is premature morbidity and mortality. So as a result, recognizing CKM syndrome is the first step in earlier diagnosis and treatment. Dive into this episode with Dr. Javed Butler who's joined by Dr. Chiadi Ndumele, Associate Professor of Medicine and the Director of Obesity and Cardiometabolic Research at Johns Hopkins University.

Because DHA is an essential component of cellular membrane phospholipids in the brain, researchers hypothesize that LC omega-3s might protect cognitive function by helping to maintain neuronal function and cell- membrane integrity within the brain [137]. This hypothesis is supported by findings from case-control studies indicating that patients with Alzheimer's disease have lower serum levels of DHA than cognitively healthy people [138,139]. Lower serum DHA levels are also associated with more cerebral amyloidosis (build-up of protein deposits called amyloids) in healthy older adults, whereas higher DHA is correlated with preservation of brain volume [140].” ___________________________________________________   Coq10   Recent studies show that CoQ10 supplements can significantly increase HDL-C and ApoA1 levels, even in people taking statins, and may help reduce risk for CVD.  CoQ10 supplementation also lowers levels of inflammatory biomarkers shown to be risk factors for CVD, such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.  Finally, low CoQ10 levels have been associated with greater tissue damage to the heart during a heart attack and the brain during stroke. https://www.clevelandheartlab.com/blog/horizons-coq10-what-are-the-heart-health-benefits/ Coq10 might be benefical after MI https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12841346/ *Supplemental CoQ10 alters the natural history of cardiovascular illnesses and has the potential for prevention of cardiovascular disease through the inhibition of LDL cholesterol oxidation and by the maintenance of optimal cellular and mitochondrial function throughout the ravages of time and internal and external stresses.Overview of the use of CoQ10 in cardiovascular disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10416041/   TAURINE **It is clear that long-term taurine supplementation or continual taurine supplementation improves heart function, is anti-hypertensive, shows promise as a treatment in pre-hypertensive patients, and has beneficial effects in patients with type-2 diabetes  The Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Taurine on Cardiovascular Disease https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7551180/ TAURINE REDUCES Triglycerides : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15221507/   Resveratrol (*) Reduces vascular oxidative stress Reduces arterial stiffness Increases endothelial nitric oxide production Helps blood vessels dilate and constrict Promotes healthy blood pressure levels Resveratrol and vascular function: https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/20/9/2155 (*) Red yeast rice: The effects of red yeast rice dietary supplement on blood pressure, lipid profile, and C-reactive protein in hypertension: A systematic review https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10408398.2015.1018987?journalCode=bfsn20   **5-MTHF Folic Acid Supplementation and the Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases: A Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5015297/ Study to reference: 28 amazing facts about the heart: Cleveland Clinic: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/facts-about-the-heart/ (1)   ___________________________________ DIET   Heart Rate Variability and Sympathetic Activity Is Modulated by Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8872337/(2)   https://www.goodrx.com/health-topic/heart/reducing-risk-for-heart-disease (3)   December 16, 1998 Intensive Lifestyle Changes for Reversal of Coronary Heart Disease https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/188274 (4) The 3rd reason you want to care about the heart is HEALTHY HEART, HEALTHY BRAIN_(1)__________.

This week we are talking once again with Kristal Kent.  If you recall, Kristal has joined us on previous interviews discussing Fibromyalgia and again discussing prepping for surgery as a chronically ill person.  We never really gave Kristal the credit she deserves for being such a fantastic advocate for all Veterans and those with Fibro or other life-long medical conditions.  Allow me to properly introduce this dynamic woman! ​Kristal Kent is a disabled Army Veteran living with Fibromyalgia and served with the 256th Combat Support Hospital (256th CSH). Kristal worked with the Personnel (HR) department, then after September 11th, 2001, Kristal was re-assigned to the Tactical Operations Center (TOC) of the 256th CSH. After being medically discharged due to injuries, Kristal stayed on with her unit, the 256th CSH, and volunteered for 2 ½ years as the Family Readiness Group Leader, re-invigorating the program to become a supportive extension of the unit for the soldiers and their families. During her time as the FRG Leader, Kristal upstarted a Food Pantry to assist the Unit's service members struggling with food sustenance, coordinated a resource list of federal, state, and local support and assistance resource programs for soldiers and families, along with hosted “Readiness” educational weekend to ensure soldiers and Military Families were prepared for deployment. Kristal's Volunteerism as FRG Leader was officially recognized with a Commendation from the U.S. Department of the Army. Kristal also worked in Social Services for over 20 years in a variety of roles, from Adult Advocacy Coordinator, Care Coordinator, Assertive Community Treatment Specialist, Benefits Coordinator and Supported Employment Services, assisting individuals with Intellectual Disabilities, Mental Health Conditions and Veterans alike. ​              As a Veteran living with Fibromyalgia, Kristal identified the lack of supports, healthcare options and education for those living with Fibromyalgia, especially Veterans. To address the gap in healthcare and community supports, Kristal founded the initiatives, “The Fibromyalgia Pain Chronicles” and “Veteran Voices For Fibromyalgia,” to address the inequities in healthcare, Kristal engages in VA Policy Advocacy, Legislative Advocacy and Systems Advocacy to emote positive change for those living with Fibromyalgia. Kristal also provides support, educational resources, and advocates on behalf of those living with various Chronic Pain Conditions, Rare Diseases, PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Kristal's Advocacy work on behalf of the Veteran and Fibromyalgia Communities has been recognized by several organizations such as WEGO Health in which she received the Patient Leader Hero Award and the Best In Show on Facebook in 2018, the 2019 Fibro Warrior Award from the Fibromyalgia Care Society of America, the Warrior of the Week in 2020 from UK Fibromyalgia. In May 2021 Kristal was presented with a Commendation from the State of Ohio House of Representatives for her advocacy work through Veteran Voices For Fibromyalgia. In August 2022, Kristal was chosen by Health Union, through the Social Health Awards patient advocacy platform, as the recipient of the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition, in May 2022 Kristal advocated for and obtained a Proclamation designating May 12th as Fibromyalgia Awareness Day from the State of Ohio Governor. ​Kristal previously served 3 years as a Board of Trustee for the Fibromyalgia Care Society of America along with previously served as a Board Member on the Wego Health Patient Advisory Board. Kristal is currently a member of Society For Participatory Medicine, Social Health's Patient Leader Network, a Co-Op member of Savvy Cooperative and a member of the American Legion. Kristal's latest medical challenge has been heart related.  Since February is heart health month and Valentines Day happens to be on a Tuesday this year (we post our episodes on Tuesdays) what better of a guest for this week?    SOCIAL MEDIA: FACEBOOK:  The Fibromyalgia Pain Chronicles:  https://www.facebook.com/FibroPainChronicles Veteran Voices For Fibromyalgia:  https://www.facebook.com/VeteranVoices4Fibro INSTAGRAM:   Kristal @ The Fibromyalgia Pain Chronicles:   http://www.instagram.com/thefibropainchronicles  YOUTUBE: The Fibromyalgia Pain Chronicles:   https://www.youtube.com/feed/my_videos Veteran Voices For Fibromyalgia:   https://www.youtube.com/feed/my_videos  WEGO HEALTH:   https://app.wegohealth.com/Kristal  ​​ 11 Tips For Keeping Your Heart Healthy As A Woman Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, accounting for one in four deaths each year. Cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, are also more common in women than men.   While there are many factors that contribute to heart disease, there are also a number of things that women can do to protect themselves. These include maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, exercise, and knowing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack.   Here are eleven tips for keeping your heart healthy as a woman. These tips are based on the latest scientific evidence and are designed to help you lower your risk of heart disease and live a healthier life. 1. Heart Disease is the Leading Cause of Death for Women in the United States: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. The American Heart Association (AHA) says that about 1 in every 4 female deaths is attributed to heart disease. A variety of lifestyle choices and risk factors can contribute to the development of heart disease. It is important to be aware of them and take steps to reduce your risk. 2. Women Often Experience Different Symptoms of Heart Disease Than Men: Though men and women both experience cardiovascular events, it has been found that women can experience different symptoms than men. Women may experience shortness of breath, fatigue, or pain in the upper back and neck, aside from chest pain. Women may also have a higher risk of developing atypical heart attack symptoms than men. If something doesn't seem quite right, it is important to seek medical attention right away. 3. There are Certain Lifestyle Choices That Can Help Keep Your Heart Healthy: Making certain lifestyle changes can help reduce your risk of heart disease. For example, it is important to maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to your food choices and quit smoking. All of these measures can help reduce the risk for cardiovascular events. 4. Pay Attention to Your Family History: It is important to pay attention to your family history, as your risk for heart disease can be higher if there is a family history of heart disease. It is important to speak with your doctor about your family history and determine if you need to be tested for any genetic heart diseases. 5. Manage Your Mental Health: Mental health can also be an important factor when it comes to heart health. Studies have found that stress, depression, and anxiety can all increase the risk of cardiovascular events. Taking steps to manage your mental health, such as talking to a therapist or engaging in mindfulness practices, can help reduce this risk. 6. Be Physically Active: Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your heart health. It can help reduce your risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. Aim to be physically active for 30 minutes five days a week. Activities such as walking, biking, and running are all good options. 7. Eat a Healthy Diet: Eating a healthy diet is an important part of maintaining a healthy heart. The AHA recommends following an eating plan that is high in fiber and low in saturated and trans fat. This includes eating more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. 8. Don't Smoke: Smoking can damage the cells in the coronary arteries, which can increase the risk of heart disease. If you smoke, it is important to quit. It can take time and there are a variety of resources available to help. 9. Get Your Cholesterol and Blood Pressure Checked Regularly: High cholesterol and high blood pressure can both make it more difficult for your heart to work properly, so it is important to get them checked regularly. Your doctor can help you decide how often these tests should be done. 10. Keep Diabetes Under Control: Diabetes can also increase the risk of heart disease. Keeping your diabetes under control can help keep your heart healthy. This means managing your blood sugar levels, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly. 11. Make Sure You're Getting Enough Sleep: Inadequate sleep can increase the risk of heart disease. Aim to get seven to eight hours of sleep each night and speak to your doctor if you are having trouble sleeping. Advantage of Women's Health Screenings: Annual wellness physicals or women's health screenings can help detect certain medical issues early on, which can be beneficial for heart health. These screenings may include electrocardiograms (ECG) or other tests to check your heart health. Conclusion: Following the tips outlined above can help reduce your risk of heart disease and help keep your heart healthy as a woman. It is important to remember that each person is unique and it is important to speak with your doctor to understand what is best for your individual needs.

The American Heart Association (AHA) has taught Life's Simple 7 to estimate cardiovascular health but now there is an upgrade to Essential 8. What was added? Optimal sleep! A study called MESA demonstrated the profound impact of sleeping 7-8 hours without sleep apnea and the data was so strong it is now part of the risk estimator. (Want a home sleep apnea study? Call 248-731-7412) A second study from the UK described the particular risk of sleeping less than 5 hours. Thanks to xtend-life.com for supporting this episode.

The study has been published in Scientific Reports. As part of the study, the researchers analyzed the amount of polyphenols in the urine of 1,326 adolescents that took part in the SI! Program (Integral Health) of 24 secondary education schools in Madrid and Barcelona. Polyphenols are bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties found in several plant-based foods, mainly in fruit, vegetables, nuts and olive oil. To date, there were few studies on the intake of polyphenols in children and adolescents. “With the results of this study, we observed that a higher urinary polyphenol excretion is linearly associated with a higher cardiovascular health index in adolescents aged 11-14, specially in children. This cardiovascular health index is defined by the criteria established by the American Heart Association (AHA), which considers seven variables: body mass index, physical activity, smoking, diet, blood pressure, total cholesterol and blood glucose,” says Professor Rosa M Lamuela, director of the Institute for Research in Nutrition and Food Safety of the University of Barcelona NAC supplements may benefit cardiovascular health: Human data University of Marburg (Germany), October 16, 2022 Four weeks of supplementation with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may reduce levels of homocysteine and improve blood pressure, says a new analysis of two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. A daily dose of 1.8 grams of NAC could lower homocysteine levels by about 12%, and may improve systolic and diastolic blood pressure, according to findings published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition . Elevated levels of the amino acid homocysteine have been reported to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This has led some to point to the potential of the B-vitamins to reduce homocysteine levels and reduce the risk of CVD. B vitamins are cofactors for enzymes involved in homocysteine metabolism and therefore giving people vitamin B supplements is hypothesized to reduce homocysteine levels and therefore reduce cognitive impairment. However, clinical trials including participants at risk of, or already suffering from, cardiovascular disease have produced null results, with some experts arguing that short term B vitamin supplementation should not be expected to reverse the long-term development of heart disease. “Because recent analyses that controlled for confounders such as statins or folate fortification detected a benefit of folate/B-vitamins for stroke (22–24), homocysteine may conditionally be a therapeutic target,” wrote the authors of the new study, led by Prof Wulf Hildebrandt, formerly with the German Cancer Research Center and now at the University of Marburg (Germany). “Therefore, an alternative agent for (more) effective homocysteine lowering may be desirable, especially for conditions in which B-vitamins are ineffective [e.g., in renal disease] or if a reduction in homocysteine of >25% is intended.” There is a known link between homocysteine and NAC, and some studies have shown that NAC may reduce levels of the amino acid, but the data is somewhat mixed. Results showed that NAC supplementation significant decreased homocysteine levels by an average of 11.7% (versus 4.1% in the placebo groups), which cysteine levels increased by an average of 28.1% (versus 4% in the placebo groups). There were no significant differences between the hyperlipidemic and normolipidemic men, and the smoking status also did not affect the results. The researchers also found that NAC significantly decreased blood pressure in all the men. However, significant decreases in diastolic BP were observed only for the hyperlipidemic men, and not for the normolipidemic men. Study: Late afternoon exercise helps control blood sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China), October 22, 2022 Results of a study published in the journal Front Endocrinol show that exercising at around 4 to 6 p.m. helps to control blood sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels better than exercising in the morning, or around 9 to 11 a.m. For the study, researchers observed 12 healthy young men. The volunteers were told to walk on a treadmill for one hour at 60 percent of their maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The volunteers were all tested during and after a week of exercising only in the morning or just in the afternoon. After continuous 24-hour monitoring of their blood sugar levels, the total blood sugar levels of the men were lower when they exercised in the afternoon. Their blood sugar levels after meals were also lower following afternoon exercise. Most cell damage from high blood sugar is linked to a high rise in blood sugar at least one to two hours after eating a meal. The volunteers' triglyceride levels were also lower after afternoon exercise. This is crucial since your blood sugar level rises after you eat. If it rises too high, sugar sticks to cell membranes and damages them. That's why diabetes can damage every cell in your body. When your blood sugar level increases, your pancreas releases insulin to keep blood sugar levels from rising too high. Insulin lowers blood sugar by then driving sugar from the bloodstream into the liver. But if your liver is full of sugar, the liver does not accept more sugar and all the extra sugar is converted to fatty triglycerides. Having a blood triglyceride level greater than 150 indicates that your blood sugar rises too high after meals and that you are already diabetic or prediabetic. Blood levels of the good high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were also higher after afternoon exercise. When triglycerides rise too high, you are at increased risk for clots. To protect your body from a high rise in triglycerides, your HDL cholesterol carries the triglycerides from your bloodstream into your liver and a high rise in triglycerides causes a drop in blood levels of the HDL cholesterol. So the lower your HDL, the more likely you are to suffer a heart attack. Scientists reveal the relationship between sugar and cancer Flanders Institute for Biotechnology, October 16, 2022 A nine-year joint research project has led to a crucial breakthrough in cancer research. Scientists have clarified how the Warburg effect, a phenomenon in which cancer cells rapidly break down sugars, stimulates tumor growth. This discovery provides evidence for a positive correlation between sugar and cancer, which may have far-reaching impacts on tailor-made diets for cancer patients. The research has been published in the leading academic journal Nature Communications. This project main focus was the Warburg effect, or the observation that tumors convert significantly higher amounts of sugar into lactate compared to healthy tissues. As one of the most prominent features of cancer cells, this phenomenon has been extensively studied and even used to detect brain tumors, among other applications. But thus far, it has been unclear whether the effect is merely a symptom of cancer, or a cause. Prof. Johan Thevelein (VIB-KU Leuven): “Our research reveals how the hyperactive sugar consumption of cancerous cells leads to a vicious cycle of continued stimulation of cancer development and growth. Thus, it is able to explain the correlation between the strength of the Warburg effect and tumor aggressiveness. This link between sugar and cancer has sweeping consequences. Our results provide a foundation for future research in this domain, which can now be performed with a much more precise and relevant focus.” Living with others and community engagement are keys to reduced dementia risk University of New South Wales (Australia), October 24, 2022 Research published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity provides evidence to support that living with others, community group engagement and never feeling lonely are associated with slower cognitive decline. It is widely recognized that poor social connections such as small networks, infrequent interactions, and loneliness are modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline, with the 2020 Lancet Commission on dementia prevention estimating that tackling social isolation could prevent 4% of dementia cases worldwide. This research, led by UNSW Sydney's Centre for Healthy Brain Aging (CHeBA), investigated a range of measures of social connectedness to discover which had the most robust findings in relation to risk reduction of cognitive decline—and dementia. “We looked at a range of measures of social connections, in approximately 40,000 people across 13 international studies,” says lead author Dr. Suraj Samtani, Postdoctoral Fellow and social health expert at CHeBA. “Previous analyses of multiple international studies have many limitations. Co-author and CHeBA Co-Director Professor Henry Brodaty said that the findings have socio-economic significance. “We found that sharing a home with one or more person[s] and weekly community group engagement had the most robust results across studies, indicating these factors are fundamental components in the link with less cognitive decline,” says Professor Brodaty. “We also identified an association between never feeling lonely and a slower rate of cognitive decline.” Carrots Do Help Aging Eyes, Study Shows University of Utah School of Medicine, October 21, 2022 Your parents may have told you, “Eat your carrots, they're good for your eyes,” and a new study suggests they were on to something. Pigments called carotenoids — which give red or orange hues to carrots, sweet potatoes and orange peppers, or deep greens to produce like spinach, broccoli and kale — may help ward off the age-linked vision ailment known as macular degeneration, researchers said. “I tell my patients that fruit and vegetable consumption are very important for eye health — this study validates that notion,” said Dr. Paul Bernstein, a professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most common causes of vision loss, especially in the elderly. It affects the macula, the center part of the retina, and can lead to declines in sharp central vision and even blindness, experts say. Scientists have already linked a variety of factors to the condition including genetics, smoking and nutrition, said Bernstein, who was not involved in the new study. However, treatment for AMD may be limited depending on the type of macular degeneration that a person develops, he said. In the new study, Wu's team looked at data from health surveys that tracked people aged 50 and older — more than 63,000 women and almost 39,000 men -over a 25 year period. Participants were all nurses and other health professionals. Overall, about 2.5 percent of study participants developed either intermediate or advanced forms of the eye condition during the years of the study. Wu's team found that people who consumed the very highest levels of carotenoids known as lutein and zeaxanthin had a 40 percent lower risk of the advanced form of AMD compared to those who ate the very least. “Other carotenoids, including beta cryptoxanthin, alpha carotene and beta carotene, may also play protective roles,” Wu added. People who consumed the very highest amount of these carotenoids — found in foods such as carrots and sweet potato — had a 25 to 35 percent lower risk of the advanced form of the illness, the findings showed. Researchers did not find any link between the carotenoids and the intermediate form of macular degeneration, however. Lutein is found in eggs and dark leafy vegetables including broccoli, kale and spinach, Bernstein said. Zeaxanthin is harder to find in the diet, he said, but you can get it from corn, orange peppers and goji berries. Wu noted that both lutein and zeaxanthin concentrate in the macula, where they are thought to protect it from damage from oxygen and light.
