Cardiovascular disease continues to be the #1 cause of mortality in the US and around the world. In this episode of The Health Edge, Mark and John review a paper that begins to address why it is that as we age, our risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all other "age-related diseases" goes up dramatically. In this 2021 paper from the Journal of The American College of Cardiology, inhabitants of the Ikaria Island in Greece, a Blue Zone culture demonstrate lower levels of age-related changes e.g. inflammation, high insulin, short telomeres and offers many reasons for lower CVD risk, mortality and expanded healthspan.
