Great Food Can Improve Brain Development (Even Before Birth)
What we eat – and what our kids eat – affects so much in life: appearance, energy, cognition, focus, mood, how often we get sick, how quickly we get better, how likely we are to develop a chronic disease, and how we age. 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. ...

How RPM Can Reduce AI ’s Bias Problem & Improve Health Equity
The following is a guest article by Arnaud Rosier, PhD, Founder and CEO at Implicity Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most promising breakthrough technologies of the modern healthcare era, yet it also has the potential to be one of the most dangerous. AI algorithms that are trained on limited or poorly representative data sets can exhibit signs of bias in their results, skewing decision-making and possibly leading to ethnic, gender, and social discrimination and other unintentional consequences for the patients they serve. Unfortunately, research shows that bias is already creeping into the nascent field of AI an...

High Blood Pressure and Erectile Dysfunction
Research confirms that high blood pressure and ED are closely linked. But did you know the majority of cases of ED are caused by hypertension? Keep reading to find out more. Experts suggest that “hypertension is sometimes a standalone condition and sometimes it’s associated with other conditions, which also impact erectile dysfunction.” According to the European Society of Cardiology, this likelihood is almost double in men with uncontrolled high blood pressure. Long-term exposure to hypertension and elevated blood pressure damages the arterial wall. This leads to atherosclerosis and the narrowing of art...

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 does stress cause heart disease? Cardiology Basics
Stress and heart disease have various aspects. Stress can lead to increase in risk factors for cardiovascular disease as well as precipitate symptoms in a hitherto silent cardiovascular disease. There is also a condition known as stress cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome, typically precipitated by an acute stressful event like loss of spouse in an elderly female. Most older persons have build-up of atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries. When there is a sudden severe stress, heart rate and blood pressure can shoot up due to sympathetic overactivity. There is also the release of stress hormones like adrenali...

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 ...

5 inflammation-fighting food swaps
Inflammation: if you follow health news, you probably hear about it often. When is inflammation helpful? How can it be harmful? What steps can you take to tone it down? What is inflammation and how does it affect your body? If you’re not familiar with the term, inflammation refers to an immune system reaction to an infection or injury. In those instances, inflammation is a beneficial sign that your body is fighting to repair itself by sending in an army of healing white blood cells.

Defining Hypertension : Why we remain in “ Status confusious ” despite 50 years of clinical trials ?
Next to the atmospheric pressure, the most curious pressure to understand is stored within human blood. Yes, it is the “blood pressure”, fondly referred to as BP by both physicians and patients. (When worried men & women visit us and say, that they are suffering from BP, please make it a point to clarify, BP is a sign of existence of life, rather than a dreaded pathology )  Why should blood have pressure? BP is lateral pressure exerted by flowing blood on the vessel wall (or is it the propelling pressure head ? It is to be noted, cuff pressure doesn’t measure this !) BP is generated by the heart in...

3 simple steps to jump-start your heart health this year
In 2020, the terrible toll of the COVID-19 pandemic largely overshadowed the affliction that remains the leading cause of death in this country: heart disease. In the United States last year, at least twice as many people died from cardiovascular causes as those who died from complications from SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus. While the challenges from the virus are new, experts have been studying heart disease for decades — and everyone can benefit from that knowledge. “The lifestyle habits that keep your heart healthy may also leave you less vulnerable to serious complications from infections such as COVID-19 and i...
