Six-Year Research Reveals Intermittent Fasting's Benefits

 We hear a lot about the benefits of intermittent fasting, but a six- time study in JAHA set up that the length of time between the first and last mess had no effect on weight loss. rather, the number and size of refections may be the more important factor. 

 Although intermittent fasting has come a popular weight- loss strategy, strictly designed studies have yet to determine whether confining the mess window can effectively control body weight over the long term. 

 For the study, the exploration platoon developed a mobile app for 550 actors to track diurnal habits in real time. Actors were regularly asked to use the app during the first month and again during" power weeks" one week per month during the six- month intervention period. 

 After six times, the authors noted 

 * Mess timing wasn't associated with weight change. 

                    * This included the time between the first and last mess, between waking up and eating the first mess, between eating the last mess and going to sleep, and total sleep time. 

* Rather, the diurnal number of large( over 1 000 calories) and medium( 500- 1 000 calories) refections were each associated with weight gain. 

* Smaller small refections( under 500 calories) were associated with lower weight. 

 The conclusion 

 There has been important debate about the benefits of intermittent fasting for weight. Does it really count when you eat your refections, or is it just the fact that eating within a narrower time window promotes lower calorie input? This study seems to give substantiation that eating lower and smaller refections matters further than when exactly those refections are eaten.

Hardening of the arteries....You can prevent it !!!

Atherosclerosis, also called "hardening of the arteries," occurs when fat, cholesterol and other substances are deposited in the walls of the arteries. These deposits are called plaques. Over time, these plaques can narrow or completely block arteries and cause problems throughout the body.

Atherosclerosis is a common disease.

Exercise training and physical exertion are effective styles for lowering the threat of cardiovascular events, still, multitudinous studies have shown that aged and middle-aged athletes are more likely to have coronary atherosclerosis, which is generally assessed by coronary roadway calcification. The frequence of coronary roadway calcification and atherosclerotic pillars, which are dependable pointers of unborn cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, was advanced in athletes than in controls, and it was advanced in the most active athletes than in the less active athletes, according to our review of the medical literature. still, study of the shrine's morphology showed that athletes had smaller mixed pillars and more constantly solely calcified pillars, which may indicate that the pillars' atherosclerotic makeup is more benign. In order to more understand the implicit negative goods of the topmost tablets of exercise training on the coronary highways, this review examines the goods of physical exertion and exercise training on coronary atherosclerosis in athletes who are middle-aged and aged. We'll review the correlation between exercise and coronary atherosclerosis as determined by reckoned tomography for this purpose, talk about implicit beginning mechanisms for exercise- convinced coronary atherosclerosis, determine the clinical applicability of coronary atherosclerosis in middle-aged athletes, and bandy clinical operation strategies for athletes with coronary atherosclerosis to prop croakers in clinical decision- timber and treatment of athletes.

Always Be Happy 😁😁

 Health experts proved that LAUGHTER is good medicine.   

A good laugh can get 20% more blood flowing through your body. One study found that people's blood flow increased when they watched a funny movie. 

That's why laughter could be the perfect antidote to stress. When you laugh, the lining of your blood vessel walls relaxes and stretches, says Krasuski.

A real story of Ella Dunmore's heart recovery....

Just came across a real story of Ella Dunmore from ABIOMED... Thought to share about it...

Ella Dunmore, who is a mother and former soldier, made the decision to seek medical attention, she had been experiencing headaches, chest pain, and shortness of breath for several weeks. Ella was advised to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery after a local hospital team discovered a critical blockage in her left main artery. However, Ella was concerned about undergoing invasive open-heart surgery and sought a second opinion.

She was referred to Dr. Amir Kaki, an interventional cardiologist at Ascension St. John Hospital in Detroit and director of mechanical circulatory support. Additional blockages were discovered by Dr. Kaki, and Ella's heart had a reduced ejection fraction of 45%. After that, he decided Ella was a good candidate for an Impella®-protected PCI procedure. Dr. Kaki implanted Impella CP® on March 18, 2021, while he cleared blockages and inserted stents. Ella went back to her house the following day.

Ella is feeling better today, and her ejection fraction, which is 60 percent, is normal. She works out three times a week, enjoys nature once more, and spends time with her daughter, Ashley.

Right Doctor at Right Time is the key to Recovery.
