Every bite of food is either an investment in our future, a new debt we are taking out, or some of both. There are many ways to enjoy the benefits of real food. One healthy way of eating that has been studied a lot is the Mediterranean diet, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, fish, herbs, spices, and olive oil. Red meats, processed foods, and added sugars are limited. ...

Operation Searchlight: The American-supported Pakistani genocide you probably haven ’ t heard about
BY ANISH KOKA On March 25th, 1971, the Pakistani army launched Operation Searchlight, a military campaign to brutally suppress a Bengali nationalist movement. The roots of the genocide lie in the parting gift British rulers gave to the Indian subcontinent at the time of independence in 1947. British controlled India was separated into Hindu majority India and Muslim majority Pakistan. But because there were two dense non-contiguous Muslim majority areas in British controlled India, the muslim majority country of Pakistan was divided into East and West Pakistan. East and West Pakistan were linked by religion, b...

Can dark chocolates keep heart disease away? Cardiology Basics
A study published in ‘Circulation’ – the flagship journal of American Heart Association, suggested that eating dark chocolate can decrease your risk for myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction is usually due to a coronary obstruction, though there are other varieties as well, according to the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. High oxidative stress and limited availability of antioxidants can cause endothelial damage in the arteries, leading to increased chances for a thrombosis. Dark chocolates (which contain 70% cocoa) have lots of flavonoids – potent antioxidants which helps to overcome the oxi...

How to control hypertension without medications? Cardiology Basics
Non-pharmacological approaches to control hypertension are essential even in those who do need medications for control of hypertension. In those with newly detected mild degrees of hypertension, non-pharmacological methods will be more acceptable and often all that is needed for control of hypertension. Adding non-pharmacological measures to medications, will increase compliance as the individual gets a hope that there is a chance to get off medication. One simple way to control hypertension is by reducing extra weight. Roughly the blood pressure might come down 1 mm Hg for every kilogram of weight reduction. Generally, a...

Reflections on HLTH2021: The Lens of the Patient and Carepartner
By GRACE CORDOVANO Attending HLTH 2021 in-person in Boston solidified that there is no comparison between attending live vs. virtual conferences.  While content and presentations can be solid both virtually or in-person, it is the energy of the connections that are made between scheduled presentations and the conversations that are shared throughout that move the needle. Kudos to the organizers of HLTH 2021 for prioritizing the safety of all in-person attendees with COVID-19 vaccination requirements, proof of negative PCR testing within 3 days of arrival, and mask requirements on-site. After reflecting on all th...

Dark Chocolates and the Heart
Are dark chocolates good for the heart? A study published in Circulation suggests that eating dark chocolate can improve coronary vasomotion and reduce platelet reactivity [1]. Dark chocolates which contain 70% cocoa have lots of flavonoids – potent antioxidants which helps to overcome the oxidative stress. They also decrease the activation of blood platelets responsible for thrombosis. High oxidative stress and limited availability of antioxidants can cause endothelial damage in the arteries, leading to increased chances for a thrombosis. Flavonoid rich dark chocolate has the potential for a beneficial effect on graft ...
