What Can Blood Tests Actually Tell Us About The Heart?
Blood tests can show damage and estimate risk. But they don’t show what’s happening inside the arteries. Sometimes, results can be normal even when underlying changes are present. It depends on what the test is designed to measure.

#Wholegrains are an important part of a #healthydiet, as they are a good source of #fiber, #healthyfats, #vitamins, #minerals, and #antioxidants. Studies show that whole grain consumption is linked to lower levels of #rheumatoidarthritis, #asthma, and #ulcerativearthritis, as well as a reduced risk of #coronaryarterydisease.
In recent years, the range of whole grains available on the market has dramatically increased and includes #barley, #spelt, #quinoa, #buckwheat, and #brownrice.
New research from Concordia University reveals a biological link between coronary artery disease (CAD) and cognitive decline.

I remember a patient, let's call him David. He rushed into my clinic one afternoon, pale and clutching his chest, out of breath from just a single flight of stairs. He was only 52. #BloodPressureControl #Cholesterolmanagement #CoronaryArteryDisease #healthylifestyle #heartattackprevention #heartdiseaseprevention #PlaqueBuildup

Nutritionists from Australia’s Monash University studied 16,055 subjects 20 to 79 years of age. Tabulating their biological age markers and diet, they found that every 10% increase in ultra processed food drove a 2 month increase in cellular aging. Those eating the most UPFs had bodies a year older than their chronological ages. You won’t wonder why when you read the long list of unnatural ingredients in these products. The emulsifiers, hydrogenated oils, and unmentionable preservatives drown out any real nutrients that manage to find their way into the packaging. Aging isn’t the only negative triggered by ultraprocessed foods. The Harvard Nurses Health and Health Professionals Studies, analyzing some 3.6 million subjects, showed that high intake of ultra processed foods boosted your risk of coronary heart disease, often a heart attack, by 16%. Ultra-processed foods play a huge role in our current obesity epidemic. They also deposit fat where you least want it. UC-San Francisco radiologists now report an MR imaging study that links these foods to increased fat deposition in thigh muscles. Ugly indeed. These ultra-processed goodies are tasty and tantalizing. If you want to age more gracefully and avoid life-threatening illness, though, you should only ingest them as treats and, even then, once in a blue moon. https://academic.oup.com/ageing/article/53/12/afae268/7918804 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667193X24001868 www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/12/241204145421.htm #ultraprocessed #aging #heartattack #coronaryarterydisease #thighfat #obesity".
Are those who had varicella-zoster as children more likely to develop coronary artery disease later in life? I have a Chicken Pox scar. Perhaps there also is unknown damage as a consequence.

In a new interview with What We Did On The Weekend, PANTERA drummer Charlie Benante spoke about his decision to have no less than four kick drums on stage while he is performing with the Philip Anselmo-fronted outfit. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Basically, let me give you a little...
