The Best Protein You Can Eat, According To Nutritionists
Protein is the key to keeping cravings at bay, building lean muscle and dropping those last few pounds. But according to a new review published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism, it’s not just how much protein you eat that’s important: It's where you get your protein that also matters.
The reason is threefold. First of all, every source of protein -- from chicken to peanuts -- contains a different array of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Of the 20 various amino acids, nine are “essential,” meaning you can only get them from food. So it’s especiall...

Utility of Non-Traditional Risk Markers in Individuals Ineligible for Statin Therapy According to the 2013 ACC/AHA Cholesterol Guidelines.
CONCLUSIONS: -In this generally low-risk population sample, a large proportion of ASCVD events occurred among adults with a 10-yr. cPCE risk <7.5%. We found that the CAC, hsCRP, FH and ABI recommendations by the ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines (Class IIB) identify small subgroups of asymptomatic population with <7.5% 10 yr. cPCE but with observed ASCVD event rates higher than 7.5% who may warrant statin therapy considerations.

Even Milk Chocolate Is Good For You, According To New Study
Chocolate is good for your heart — sort of, maybe.
Eating up to 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of chocolate daily is linked with lowered risks of heart disease and stroke, scientists reported today (June 15) in the journal Heart. That amount of chocolate is equal to about 22 Hershey's Kisses, two Hershey bars or two bags of M&M's, depending on how you want to divvy up this good news.
"There does not appear to be any evidence to say that chocolate should be avoided in those who are concerned about cardiovascular risk," the researchers concluded in their paper. Their new study is based on a meta-analysis of eight previously pu...

The One Food Nutritionists Eat Every Single Day
By Sarah-Jane Bedwell, SELF
While registered dietitians certainly recommend balance, variety, and moderation to ensure you get all the necessary nutrients that you need, they have "personal superfoods" that they reach for on a regular basis for both nutrition and convenience purposes. From turmeric smoothies to chocolate and peanut butter combos, dietitians around the country share the foods they eat every single day.
Citrus Fruit
I eat some form of vitamin C and potassium packed citrus each day because the delightfully refreshing flavors are a great reminder that good nutrition should taste great! It might be a 6 ounce...

Drug-drug interactions associated with antiplatelet therapy.
Authors: Dunn SP, Macaulay TE
Abstract
Antiplatelet therapy is of paramount importance in the treatment and prevention of adverse cardiovascular events and stroke. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) among antiplatelet therapies have been growing in both prevalence and clinical importance. Most DDIs with antiplatelet therapies are pharmacodynamic in nature. DDIs with thienopyridines and proton pump inhibitors have resulted in advisories from regulatory agencies although the full significance of this interaction is unknown. Other DDIs with thienopyridines may potentially exist with statins, calcium channel blockers, and w...

8 Whole Grains You're Probably Not Eating
By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD
You've probably had oatmeal for breakfast, and if you haven't yet tried quinoa I bet you've heard of it, or have seen it on a menu or social media recipe (it's all over Pinterest!). But there are many other whole grains you may not be familiar with, and incorporating them into your food repertoire is well worth the learning curve.
Whole grains are white hot among chefs and nutritionists. They're versatile, satisfying and in addition to providing slow-burning starch (think sustained energy!), vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, whole grains are health protective. Their consumption is tied to a lo...

Biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in women
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death among U.S. women and men. Established cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and elevated total cholesterol, and risk prediction models based on such factors, perform well but do not perfectly predict future risk of CVD. Thus, there has been much recent interest among cardiovascular researchers in identifying novel biomarkers to aid in risk prediction. Such markers include alternative lipids, B-type natriuretic peptides, high-sensitivity troponin, coronary artery calcium, and genetic markers.

Drug delivery to the ischemic brain.
Abstract
Cerebral ischemia occurs when blood flow to the brain is insufficient to meet metabolic demand. This can result from cerebral artery occlusion that interrupts blood flow, limits CNS supply of oxygen and glucose, and causes an infarction/ischemic stroke. Ischemia initiates a cascade of molecular events in neurons and cerebrovascular endothelial cells including energy depletion, dissipation of ion gradients, calcium overload, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and accumulation of ions and fluid. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is associated with cerebral ischemia and leads to vasogenic edema, a primary ...

Headed in the Right Direction But at Risk for Miscalculation A Critical Appraisal of the 2013 ACC/AHA Risk Assessment Guidelines
The newly released 2013 ACC/AHA Guidelines for Assessing Cardiovascular Risk makes progress compared with previous cardiovascular risk assessment algorithms. For example, the new focus on total atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) is now inclusive of stroke in addition to hard coronary events, and there are now separate equations to facilitate estimation of risk in non-Hispanic white and black individuals and separate equations for women. Physicians may now estimate lifetime risk in addition to 10-year risk. Despite this progress, the new risk equations do not appear to lead to significantly better discriminati...

Statins do not improve cardiovascular outcomes for dialysis patients
Commentary on: Palmer SC, Navaneethan SD, Craig JC, et al.. HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) for dialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2013;(9):CD004289. Context Chronic kidney disease affected nearly 19 million people in the USA, with incidence increasing globally at an annual rate of 8%, most of which were unrecognised or undiagnosed. Cardiovascular events are common among patients with chronic kidney disease and highest in dialysis patients. While dialysis patients experience a high prevalence of traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as hyper...

Brits eating too much salt, sugar and fat
“Too much sugar, salt and fat: healthy eating still eluding many Britons,” The Guardian reports, while the Daily Mail rather bizarrely warns of a “fruit juice timebomb”. Both papers are covering a major survey that looked at the nation’s eating habits over recent years.The survey found that, overall, adults and children are eating too much saturated fat, added sugar and salt. We are also not getting the recommended levels of fruit, vegetables, oily fish and fibre that our bodies need. Who produced the survey?Public Health England, an agency of the Department of Health, has released data from the National Diet an...

The inhibitory effect of simvastatin and aspirin on histamine responsiveness in human vascular endothelial cells
Statins and aspirin deliver well-established cardiovascular benefits resulting in their increased use as combined polypills to decrease risk of stroke and heart disease. However, the direct endothelial effect of combined statin/aspirin cotreatment remains unclear. Histamine is an inflammatory mediator that increases vascular permeability, and so we examined the effect of treating human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) for 24 h with 1 μM simvastatin and 100 μM aspirin on histamine responsiveness. Subsequent histamine (1 μM) challenge increased intracellular calcium (Ca2+i) concentration, an effect that was...
