A new study suggests that green coffee extract may be an effective supplement in aiding weight loss (1). The supplement was linked with substantial weight loss, decreased body fat, and a decrease in blood pressure over the short study period. The research, published in the journal Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity, followed a group [...]  Recent research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found new evidence of a link between magnesium intake and risk of stroke. The research was conducted at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. It took the form of a meta-analysis, whereby researchers collect and analyse data from many previous relevant studies. In [...] Mental stress is known to have a negative effect on heart health, and unmanaged stress is linked with increased blood pressure, an important predictor of heart disease. Managing mental stress can be a huge help to those looking to support their cardiovascular health. Of course this is often easier said than done. After all, stress [...] February is National Heart Health month which is an initiative supported by the British Heart Foundation (BHF). It is aimed at increasing individuals’ awareness on how to look after the health of their hearts and to ultimately reduce the number of heart disease related deaths. BHF state; “Our vision is of a World where [...] Last year I wrote about a study which found that drinking sugary drinks was associated to increased blood pressure (a risk for heart disease and other health problems). A newly published study (1) has backed up these findings showing that adults who drink sugar-sweetened drinks tend to have higher blood pressure levels. The study [...] Studies have previously found that flavonoids (bioactive plant compounds), found in various vegetables and fruits, can have beneficial effects on blood pressure when given to individuals in an ‘intervention’ study setting. A new study (1) carried out at the University of East Anglia UK and Harvard University USA and published in the American Journal [...] Last year I wrote about Watermelon and how it contains an amino acid (the building blocks of protein) called citrulline. This amino acid is converted in the body to arginine. In turn arginine is used in the body to produce nitric oxide which causes blood vessels to relax, or dilate, and allow increased blood [...] High blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of heart disease and other health problems. Eating a healthy diet rich in fruit and vegetables and oily fish, which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, and low in salt is associated with a reduced blood pressure. A recently published study (1) has found [...] Oily fish, such as salmon, trout, mackerel and sardines, and fish oil supplements provide the body with the long chain omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that are so important for health and which I write about so frequently. In adults there is indication that fish oil is important for heart health, it can help [...] Yesterday was Easter Sunday and I expect that there are still plenty of Easter eggs and chocolate lurking in many homes?! If you happen to have received a dark chocolate egg made from cocoa-rich chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids) this could be good news for your health. A newly published study, in the [...] |
