Antioxidants aren’t always good for you and can impair muscle function

Posted by Healthy And Fit on January 26th, 2010

Antioxidants increasingly have been praised for their benefits against disease and aging, but recent studies at Kansas State University show that they also can cause harm.

Researchers in K-State’s Cardiorespiratory Exercise Laboratory have been studying how to improve oxygen delivery to the skeletal muscle during physical activity by using antioxidants, which are nutrients in foods that can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to the body.

Moderate Fish Consumption May Lower heart Risk

Including fish in a balanced diet has long been associated with the prevention of heart disease, and scientists now believe that it can help preserve heart function in patients who have experienced heart failure.

Low Vitamin D = stroke, heart disease and death

Posted by Healthy And Fit on November 16th, 2009

Study finds inadequate levels of Vitamin D may significantly increase risk of stroke, heart disease and death

While mothers have known that feeding their kids milk builds strong bones, a new study by researchers at the Heart Institute at Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City suggests that Vitamin D contributes to a strong and healthy heart as well – and that inadequate levels of the vitamin may significantly increase a person’s risk of stroke, heart disease, and death, even among people who’ve never had heart disease.

For more than a year, the Intermountain Medical Center research team followed 27,686 patients who were 50 years of age or older with no prior history of cardiovascular disease.

Eating Fish Doesn’t Prevent Heart Failure

Posted by Healthy And Fit on September 30th, 2009

The consumption of fish has no major role in the prevention of heart failure, according to results from a large prospective population study.(1) The study, which was started in 1990 and involved all men and women over the age of 55 living in a suburb of Rotterdam, found no difference in the risk of developing heart failure between those who did eat fish and those who didn’t.

The study is published on 30 September in the October issue of the European Journal of Heart Failure.

“Scientists and health authorities are increasingly persuaded that the intake of fish – even in small amounts – will protect against the risk of fatal myocardial infarction,” said study investigator Dr Marianne Geleinjse from Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

Mounting evidence of fish oil’s heart health benefits

Posted by Healthy And Fit on August 4th, 2009

Researchers set forth recommendations for daily intake

There is mounting evidence that omega-3 fatty acids from fish or fish oil supplements not only help prevent cardiovascular diseases in healthy individuals, but also reduce the incidence of cardiac events and mortality in patients with existing heart disease.

Healthy lifestyle = reduced risk of heart failure

Posted by Healthy And Fit on July 21st, 2009

Men who exercised regularly, drank moderately, did not smoke, who were not overweight and had a diet that included cereal and fruits and vegetables had a lower lifetime risk of heart failure, according to a study in the July 22/29 issue of JAMA.

With an annual incidence of 550,000, heart failure remains a major public health issue and is the leading cause of hospitalization among older adults in the United States.
