Prevent Early Deaths Cause by
Cardiovascular Disease - This Food Spikes Death Risk by 17% (Very Common)
This
food is so common that almost everyone eats it at least once or twice per week,
and that is because everybody loves it.
But
doing so would increase your risk of dying by a scary 17%.
As
if that wasn’t enough. It also increases your risk of heart attack, raises your cholesterol
and blood pressure level and destroys almost all other health markers.
Thankfully,
there is another version of this food (even better) that has no health risk
(and you’re going to love this one).
The
new study published in BMJ identified 106,966 women between ages 50 and 79 who
participated in the American Women’s Health Initiative study.
They
completed dietary questionnaires in the mid-1990s and were then observed for
around 20 years, until 2017.
During
this period, 31,588 of them died; 9,320 from heart problems, 8,358 from cancer,
and 13,880 from other causes.
The
scientists split the types of fried foods they reported eating into three
categories:
1.
Fried chicken,
2. Fried fish, fried shellfish, and fish sandwiches, and
3. Other fried foods, like potato chips/fries, tacos, and so on.
2. Fried fish, fried shellfish, and fish sandwiches, and
3. Other fried foods, like potato chips/fries, tacos, and so on.
They
also recorded how often their subjects ate each of these food’s groups.
When
they calculated the death risks for all fried foods, they found that people who
ate less than one serving a week had one percent greater chance of all-cause
death, which increased to three percent for two to six servings per week, and
to eight percent for one serving per day.
People
who ate one serving of fried chicken a month had a six percent greater chance
of an all-cause death, which increased to 12 percent for two to three servings
a month, and to 13 percent for at least one serving a week.
Even
fried fish posed a risk, with people who ate at least one serving a week
increasing their chance of dying from all causes by seven percent.
The
only ray of sunshine is that other fried foods like fries were found to pose no
risk for all-cause death.
The
statistics for cardiovascular death from fried foods are equally bad.
With
regards to all fried foods being calculated together, they found that one
serving per day was associated with an eight percent higher death risk that
stemmed from cardiovascular disease.
Fried
chicken increased their chance of cardiovascular death by eight percent for
less than two servings per month, 17 percent for two to three servings per
month, and 12 percent for at least one serving per week.
One
or more servings of fried fish per week increased their chance of
cardiovascular death by 13 percent.
Again,
other fried foods did not appear to increase their chance of dying of heart
problems.
The
scientists ensured that death risk factors like smoking and obesity did not
influence their conclusion.
The
most alarming finding for both fish and chicken was that there is very little
difference between eating them once or more a week and eating them two to three
times a month. The risk of death seems to creep in at the twice-a-month
consumption level, which most of us probably do.
It
is possible that the damage is caused by a mixture of the omega-6 vegetable
oils in which we fry and the fat in the chicken and fish. Both these types of
fats are damaged (called oxidized) by heat and it is these oxidized fats that
become harmful cholesterol
once we eat them.

Cardiovascular Disease - 9 Foods That Prevent Stroke
Academic
researchers have found two minerals to be particularly effective at reducing
the risk of stroke.
These
are especially powerful at reducing this risk for people who struggle with high blood pressure.
There
are nine tasty and cost-effective foods that contain high amounts of these
minerals, and you can easily build into your daily diet to increase your
chances of staying stroke-free.
A
stroke occurs when there is an interruption in the flow of blood to the brain.
Consequently, brain cells die rapidly due to the lack of constant blood supply,
a problem that can leave the stroke sufferer either severely disabled or dead.
The
main causes of a stroke are narrowed arteries, blood clots, and high blood pressure.
Scientists
have discovered that potassium and magnesium significantly lower the risk of
strokes, probably because they both lower blood pressure, which is one of the
chief risk factors.
A
huge study that had 34,670 women participants between the ages of 49 and 83 by
the National Institute of Environmental Medicine in Sweden found, for example,
that the intake of potassium and magnesium could indeed reduce the risk of
stroke, especially in women with high blood pressure.
And
in case the men are starting to feel left out, researchers at the Harvard
School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School studied 43,738 men between
ages 40 and 75 and reached the same conclusion: potassium and magnesium lowered
the risk of stroke, particularly among men with high blood pressure.
It
is relatively easy to stack your diet with these two minerals, as they are
readily available in these foods:
1. Spinach. From one cup of cooked spinach, you can
obtain 180mg of magnesium and 180mg of potassium. Other dark, leafy green
vegetables that are packed with both minerals include kale, collard, and Swiss
chard.
2. Beans. One cup of cooked soya beans (usually sold as edamame)
provides 150mg of magnesium, while a cup of cooked white beans can supply 170mg
of potassium. Other good options for both minerals are black beans and kidney
beans.
3. Avocado. Creamy, tasty, and a great source of both
potassium and magnesium. However, guacamole lovers who purée it will
unfortunately lose almost half of both these minerals, but that still leaves
them with over 100mg of each.
4. Fish. Mackerel is the best source of magnesium, while salmon
walks off with the potassium prize. You can expect around 85mg from an average
fillet.
5. Bananas. With just under 100mg of magnesium and over
100mg of potassium, it is by far the most versatile fruit.
6. Brown rice. It cannot get any easier to eat plenty of
magnesium, with one cup of brown rice providing almost 200mg of it. Millet,
which is a lovely whole grain that can double up as a breakfast cereal, is not
far behind.
7. Squash. Squash, in all its many varieties, is a
brilliant source of potassium, with one cup containing anything from 150mg to
200mg.
8. Pumpkin seeds. A tasty mid-afternoon snack with one cup
supplies more than 100mg of magnesium. Alternatively, you can mix pumpkin seeds
with other magnesium-rich nuts, such as cashews, pine nuts, pecans, and
almonds. Also, another snack high in magnesium is dark chocolate.
9. Potato and sweet potato skins. While these do not
sound terribly appealing, they are some of the very best sources of potassium.
Either cook and eat the potatoes with their skins, or grate the skins into
stews and soups where they will not be especially noticeable.
The
recommended daily intakes are approximately 420mg for magnesium and 3,500mg for
potassium. If you eat 20% more of both, you will safely remain under the
amounts where they become hazardous, while still giving yourself a good chance
to remain stroke-free.

Prevent Early Deaths Cause by
Cardiovascular Disease - Cardiovascular Health Determined By This Midlife
Factor
We
know that good physical fitness is important for cardiovascular health. But as
we get older, many people have more difficulty working out and keeping in
shape.
Fortunately,
according to a new study published in JAMA Psychiatry, having good fitness at older ages may
not be as important for cardiovascular health as previously thought.
That
is only if we do something specific in our midlife.
Scientists
analyzed information collected from the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study, for
which data was collected between the years of 1971 and 2009.
They
identified 17,989 people with all their data available and who did not have any
history of cardiovascular problems at the beginning of the study.
Using
Medicare claims, they identified depression diagnoses and used the National
Death Index to identify deaths due to cardiovascular problems.
Those
that had high midlife fitness level were 61% less likely to develop cardiovascular
disease during their senior years.
This
showed that it’s important to keep in shape during midlife – even if we’re not
able to keep it up later on.
Those
with high midlife fitness levels were also 16% less likely to be diagnosed with
depression when they were older, showing that exercise is a great
antidepressant, even for cases of depression that could developed 15 to 30
years later.
Those
who were unfortunate enough to still develop depression and who were fit during
their middle ages were 56% less likely to die of cardiovascular disease than
those who were unfit.
The
authors sensibly recommended, as many scientists have done, that doctors should
prescribe exercise for middle-aged people to ensure healthy and happy aging
later.
But
if you already have high cholesterol
and clogged heart arteries, what should you do?

This post is from the Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy
Program. It was created by Scott Davis. Because he once suffered from high
cholesterol, so much so that he even had a severe heart attack. This is what
essentially led him to finding healthier alternatives to conventional
medication. Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy
is a unique online program that provides you with all the information you need
to regain control of your cholesterol levels and health, as a whole.
