Flavanols & Heart Health

Prolonged sitting can temporarily impair the flexibility of blood vessels, increasing blood pressure. A new study suggests that consuming foods rich in flavanols may prevent blood vessel problems associated with too much sitting. Researchers recruited 40 healthy young men, 20 very fit and 20 who were less fit. They gave all the men either a flavanol-rich cup of cocoa or a low-flavanol cup of cocoa and then had them sit still for 2 hours. All those who drank low-flavanol cocoa had a drop in the flexibility of their leg and arm arteries, whether they were fit or not. All those who drank the high-flavanol cocoa did NOT have a drop in their vessel flexibility, regardless of how fit they were.

It’s easy to brush off symptoms as “nothing” or chalk them up to stress or a busy schedule. But repeated or unexplained signs from your body deserve attention. Ignoring health clues can sometimes lead to bigger issues down the road. If something doesn’t feel right or keeps coming back, a doctor’s visit can bring clarity and peace of mind.

Excess Sugar & Heart Health

Sugar may be worse for heart health than high cholesterol, according to a recent study. Participants who consumed 25% or more of their daily calories from added sugar were two times as likely to die from a heart-related condition than people who ate less than 10%. Researchers found that the risk was consistent regardless of s*x, age, weight, physical activity or cholesterol levels. The added sugar came primarily from sugar-sweetened drinks, including sodas and fruit juices. Other sources were desserts, candy and sweetened cereals. Experts say to limit sugar to 6 tsp. a day for women and 9 tsp. for men. One can of sweetened soda has 10 tsp.

Health Benefits Of Pistachios

Pistachios are rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber and antioxidants. Eating them may help lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Some research says eating pistachios regularly may also help lower blood pressure. They have a low glycemic index and may help with blood sugar control. Their fiber, protein and healthy fats can help you feel fuller, so they may help with weight management, if eaten in moderation. The fiber they contain also acts as a prebiotic, feeding good bacteria in the gut and promoting gut health. They contain lutein and zeaxanthin, which can protect against age-related eye disease. Avoid pistachios if you have a tree nut allergy.

Coffee & AFib Recurrence

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is an irregular heartbeat in which the chambers of the heart don't work together as they should, which may cause the heart to beat faster. A recent study found that drinking 1 cup of caffeinated coffee a day reduces a person's risk of recurrent AFib episodes. In this study, 200 adults with persistent AFib, who were also coffee drinkers, were randomly selected either to drink 1 cup of caffeinated coffee a day or to abstain from caffeine for 6 months. At the end of the study, researchers found that the coffee group reduced their risk of AFib recurrence by 39%.

Life’s Essential 8

The American Heart Association recommends a framework of eight factors toward improving your cardiovascular health. They call these “Life's Essential 8.” They are: eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise, avoid smoking, get adequate sleep, maintain a healthy weight, manage blood pressure, control cholesterol, and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Walking & Alzheimer's Risk

Walking even just 3,000 steps a day may lower the risk of Alzheimer's in older adults, according to new research. This benefit was also seen in older adults who already had high levels of amyloid-beta, a protein that may play a large role in the disease’s development. Researchers found that among older participants with higher levels of amyloid-beta, those who walked fewer than 3,000 steps a day showed quicker cognitive decline than those who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day. Overall, the study discovered that participants who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps per day slowed cognitive decline by an average of 3 years. Those who did 5,000 to 7,500 steps a day delayed cognitive decline by about 7 years.
