Anti-inflammatory diets have been a hot topic in the news for the past few years, but people don’t often discuss “pro-inflammatory” diets. Pro-inflammatory foods may increase the risk of chronic conditions like cancer and heart disease.
If you’re one of the nearly 120 million people with high blood pressure, there’s one exercise that you can do to lower your blood pressure. Isometric exercise is especially effective in lowering blood pressure. This type of exercise involves contracting a certain muscle or muscle group and holding it in the same position.
More plant protein over animal protein equals better heart health
As heart disease remains the number one killer in the US, prevention is key. The power of plants should be on your plate.
A recent study out of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health finds that eating more plant-based protein over animal-based protein may cut the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary heart disease (CHD). The study investigators found that the reduced risk is likely due to swapping red and processed meats with plant proteins such as beans, lentils, and tofu.
While low-carb, keto diets may be popular for whitling your waistline, omitting high-fiber fruit, beans, and grains is bad news for your bowels. Two recent studies out of Flinders University note a surprising bump in the number of people under 50 getting diagnosed with bowel cancer. Limited fiber intake is part of the problem.
