A new study has uncovered how estrogen protects women’s hearts and lowers their risk of cardiovascular disease. Scientists found that estrogen boosts the activity of a special protein that helps shield the heart from stress and damage. This protein strengthens blood vessels, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation, all of which are crucial for keeping the heart healthy.

Researchers say this discovery explains why premenopausal women often have lower rates of heart disease compared to men of the same age. After menopause, when estrogen levels drop, the protective effect weakens, increasing the risk of cardiovascular problems. By identifying the protein involved, scientists are hopeful that new therapies could be developed to mimic estrogen’s heart-protective benefits without the risks sometimes linked to hormone replacement therapy.

This breakthrough not only deepens our understanding of how female hormones influence heart health but also opens the door to targeted treatments that could protect both women and men from cardiovascular disease. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally, making this finding an important step forward in prevention and care.

I use Celtic sea salt on my tongue. I place a small wee pinch on my tongue before drinking water with the intention of enhancing hydration and replenishing electrolytes.
Then i drink a glass of water.
The idea is that the salt and it's trace minerals help my body absorb water more effectively.
