A new observational study suggests that men need more than twice as much exercise as women do to achieve the same level of reduction in the risk of cardiovascular heart disease [1]. Understanding sex differences In recent years, scientists have questioned how much exercise is needed for tangible health benefits. Current guidelines from the American...

A recent study investigated the roles of brown adipose tissue and a lipid-controlling hormone, 12,13-diHOME, in cardiac health. The researchers examined the molecular mechanisms behind 12,13-diHOME's effects on the hearts of aged mice [1]. The aging heart Aging leads to many cardiovascular system-related changes, which are connected to disruptions in Ca2+ metabolism [2]. Similarly, brown...

In Cell Reports Medicine, researchers have published a detailed review on the relationship between cardiovascular disease and the age-related inflammation known as inflammaging. The immune system itself ages Why We Age: Chronic InflammationChronic inflammation refers to a persistent, low-grade buzz of immune activity that settles into the body without the drama of an infection or...

A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that a higher intake of butter is associated with increased mortality while a higher intake of plant-based oils is associated with reduced mortality [1]. Fats: the good, the bad, and the ugly Previous research has found that not all dietary fats are created equal. Results of different studies...

In the European Journal of Protective Cardiology, researchers have published evidence that the intensity of exercise is somewhat more important than volume in reducing all-cause mortality risk, although both have significant correlations. The questions of how long and how much Conventional wisdom had maintained that exercise must be conducted in continuous periods to be of...

A new study suggests that an anti-inflammatory diet can significantly reduce the risk of dementia and delay its onset even in people with existing cardiometabolic diseases [1]. Is it too late to lower the risk? Cardiometabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart attack, and stroke, strongly contribute to the risk of developing dementia later...
