❤️💪✈️ Today on Ask the Dr. — Heart Health, Longevity & Travel Safety
On today’s live broadcast of Ask the Dr., we covered simple, science-backed strategies to protect your heart, blood vessels, and longevity—especially if you travel or sit for long periods.
🫀 Omega-3s & Heart Rhythm
We discussed how omega-3 fatty acids help:
✔ Support vascular health
✔ Reduce inflammation
✔ Stabilize heart rhythm, including atrial fibrillation (AFib)
✔ Lower overall cardiovascular risk
💪 Resistance Training = Longevity Medicine
One of the strongest predictors of living longer and healthier is strength training:
✔ Preserves muscle as we age
✔ Improves metabolism and insulin sensitivity
✔ Reduces frailty, falls, and mortality
✔ Helps keep skin firm during weight loss
✈️ Flying, Blood Clots & DVT Prevention
Long flights and prolonged sitting increase clot risk. We discussed practical ways to protect yourself:
✔ Stay well hydrated
✔ Get up and move, stretch, and pump your calves
✔ Wear compression socks on long flights
✔ Support circulation with omega-3s
✔ Discuss low-dose aspirin with your doctor if appropriate
🔑 Bottom Line:
Your heart, muscles, circulation, and longevity are all connected.
Move your body, build muscle, nourish your vessels, and travel smart.
