Low dietary sodium potentially mediates COVID-19 prevention associated with whole food plant-based diets
This article presents evidence that low dietary sodium potentially mediates the association of plant-based diets with COVID-19 prevention. Processed meats and poultry injected with sodium chloride contribute considerable amounts of dietary sodium in the Western diet, and the avoidance or reduction of these and other processed foods in whole food plant-based diets could help lower overall dietary sodium intake. Moreover, high amounts of potassium in plant-based diets increase urinary sodium excretion, and preagricultural diets high in plant-based foods were estimated to contain much lower ratios of dietary sodium to potassi...

People With Diabetes Are More Vulnerable to Heart Disease. How to Reduce the Risk
If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, know that you’ve got plenty of company. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) reports that in 2019, the most recent year for which data is available, 37.3 million adults in the U.S.—about 11.3% of the population—had the chronic condition, and that number continues to grow. Type 1 diabetes develops when the body isn’t able to produce insulin, and Type 2 occurs when the body doesn’t use insulin correctly. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes, and when it’s uncontrolled, a person’s blood sugar can jump to dangerous levels that requ...

What to Know About High Cholesterol in Kids
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., but it’s not something we usually associate with kids. In many cases, however, the seeds of heart attacks and strokes may be sown in childhood. That’s because high or abnormal cholesterol levels, which are a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, are not uncommon in kids. “People may feel that cholesterol is mostly an adult issue, which is not correct,” says Dr. Nivedita Patni, a pediatric endocrinologist at Children’s Health in Dallas and an assistant professor of pediatrics at UT Southwestern Medical Center. About 1 in 5 child...

Only 7% of Americans Have Optimal Heart Health, Study Says
Peak heart health is rare in the U.S.—and increasingly uncommon. A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds that fewer than 7% of all American adults have optimal health across five major areas related to heart and metabolic health: weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease status. And the problem is getting worse. These five categories were adapted from the American Heart Association’s definition of ideal cardiovascular and metabolic health. The study, which analyzed National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from more than 55,...

High blood pressure: The green fruit that raises hypertension – ‘contains a lot of salt’
HIGH blood pressure, also known as hypertension, occurs when the blood passing through the body's veins and arteries is too high. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for other forms of heart disease such as a heart attack or stroke. As a result, it is key to keep overall health high to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Treatment of diabetes mellitus has borne much fruit in the prevention of cardiovascular disease
ABSTRACTCardiovascular (CV) disease is the most alarming complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), and a strategy aiming at CV event prevention in DM has long been debated. Large landmark clinical trials have shown CV benefits of intensive glycemic control as a “legacy effect” in newly diagnosed type 2 DM (T2DM). In contrast, we have learned that excessive intervention aimed at strong glycemic control could cause unexpected CV death in patients who are resistant to treatments against hyperglycemia. It has also been shown that the comprehensive multifac torial intervention for CV risk factors that was advocated in the cur...

Tea consumption and cerebral hemorrhage risk: a meta-analysis
ConclusionsThis study suggests that daily tea consumption is related to a lower risk of cerebral hemorrhage among adults. Green tea consumption appears to be more beneficial in preventing cerebral hemorrhage. Physical activity, fruit/vegetables, and alcohol may affect the relationship between tea consumption and hemorrhagic stroke. Future studies should investigate the interplay of tea with these factors.
