Gut health can dramatically affect whole-body health. One of the latest findings to support this idea shows that using an antibiotic to alter the bacteria in the guts of rats lessened the damage to the heart and kidneys sometimes seen with hypertension… Continue reading Popular antibiotic lessens organ damage caused by high blood pressure

While statin drugs are good at controlling plaques in blood vessels, they can’t eliminate them once they are established. But researchers may have just found a way to blast the circulatory system clean using a common nutrient found in many foods.Contin… Continue reading Common dietary nutrient blasts blood vessel plaques in study
There are a lot of research eyes on the development of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitors for cancer treatment right now, with several drugs currently in clinical trials and at least one in late-stage Phase III testing. But University of Cambridge sc… Continue reading Promising cancer drug may effectively treat gout and heart disease
A new study has found that healthy women risk future cardiovascular disease by reducing their sleep time by as little as one-and-a-half hours a night over the long term. The finding reinforces an important message: make sure you get enough sleep.Contin… Continue reading Mild long-term lack of sleep can increase women’s heart disease risk
Researchers have identified previously unknown genes linked to calcium buildup in the coronary arteries, a predictor of future heart disease. They found that some of these genes can be targeted by existing drugs or nutritional supplements, potentially … Continue reading Previously unidentified genes linked to coronary artery disease
A study of white-collar workers has found that men who experience work stress coupled with a job that requires high effort for low reward are at double the risk of developing heart disease, having a similar impact on heart health as obesity.Continue Re… Continue reading Stress and high effort/low reward work doubles men’s heart disease risk
A high resting heart rate, which is generally considered anything above 100 beats per minute (bpm), has been linked to an elevated risk of serious cardiovascular conditions such coronary artery disease and stroke. And while the cause of a high resting … Continue reading Study finds 68 new genes linked to cardiovascular disease risks
While effective in treating sleep apnea, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines are not the easiest to adapt to, which is why around 50% of those with sleep apnea give up on the life-saving devices. But there’s some good news for those who stick with it, with health benefits stretching further than treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its associated elevated risks of heart disease and stroke. Recent research has also linked OSA with a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

It’s a law of nature almost akin to gravity itself: food that tastes good is usually bad for us. But new research shows that a simple preparation trick can dramatically slash fat, sodium and added sugars while making foods like brownies and meatloaf ta… Continue reading Herbs and spices facilitate fat removal thanks to taste trick
