"People with the APOE4 allele in the 4/4 genotype had a lower risk of cognitive decline and dementia if they consumed relatively high amounts of meat.
Eating a greater proportion of unprocessed meat was also associated with less all-cause mortality among this group of people.
The APOE4 allele is the strongest risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s disease."

Carriers of the gene variant associated with a heightened risk of Alzheimer's have a lower risk of cognitive decline if they consume relatively high amounts of meat, a new study suggests.

"Diet-related chronic diseases are on the rise in the Caribbean and its diaspora, yet this region’s cultural foods are often poorly represented in mainstream nutrition education.

The multi-mix principle uses four of the six Caribbean food groups — staples, legumes, animal foods, and vegetables — to build practical, nutritionally balanced meals. You can use this concept as a meal planning tool.

The remaining food groups — fruits, plus fats and oils — aren’t considered foundational but should still be eaten throughout the day. Aim for at least two fruit servings and three fat servings each day."

The Caribbean multi-mix principle provides a guide for building well-rounded meals with local fare. This article explains how to make a balanced Caribbean meal.

"A new study examined how smaller lifestyle changes impact cardiovascular health.
The research team followed more than 50,000 people for around 8 years and tracked habits such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise.
At the end of the study, the researchers learned that even modest lifestyle habit changes across multiple areas were beneficial to heart health.
The findings suggest that focusing on multiple, manageable lifestyle changes may be more effective and sustainable than trying to make a large change in a single area."

A combination of very small lifestyle changes could offer significant cardiovascular health benefits, a recent study suggests.

"Adding 10 minutes of activity each day can support heart health now and long term. Exercise can lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and related death rates.

Vigorous exercise raises your heart rate, makes you sweat, and leaves you too breathless to talk. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week.

Start at your level and choose an activity you enjoy, like brisk walking or biking. Resistance training can also support heart health, and even short bouts may support blood sugar regulation/management."

Taking small steps, like going for a walk on your lunch break, can go a long way when it comes to boosting heart health. Here’s how to get started.

"Your diet plays a key role in preventing or managing diabetes, and eating the right foods helps control your insulin and blood sugar levels, warding off or managing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. An insulin-resistant diet cuts back on unhealthy fats, sugars, and processed foods while eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, and lean poultry. Focus on making slow changes, such as cutting back on sugary drinks, and customize your diet to fit your preferences and lifestyle."

If you want to reduce your risk of diabetes or to manage your condition you may want to try an insulin resistance diet. Learn more about what foods to eat for better health.
