Even more research showing the benefits of coffee for heart health! #biom4180

[Feng @FengCardio]

Have you heard of Vietnamese coffee before? It is my all-time favorite treat! Viet coffee uses Robusta beans and other blends. Robusta coffee is rich in chlorogenic acid and has 2x as much caffeine! It is advised to only consume in moderation #biom4180

This observational study done in England investigated the diet of adults for 11 years, and found that people who ate chocolate were less likely to get heart disease! #biom4180

[Katherine Beattie @K4180BT]

The oldest person ever, #jeannecalment lived to 121 years old. Her secret? Consumption of nearly 2 lbs of 🍫 A WEEK! Fortunately for us chocolate lovers, chocolate appears to have CV benefits too #biom4180 https://t.co/iCHebW2Zfq

Great tips to help reduce the risk of getting a heart attack or stroke! The American heart association states that only 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity exercise per week are enough to maintain health and reduce the risk of developing heart attacks! #biom4180

[American Heart Association @American_Heart]

The latest research shows that you can get closer to your heart health goals by incorporating more plant-based meals into your diet. Learn how to reduce your risk of heart disease with these tips, developed with the American College of Cardiology, at https://t.co/3c3FECdaBM.

This is a great video showing how to use an AED in case someone is suffering from a cardiac arrest! Knowing how to use a defibrillator can help save someone's life, and it only takes a minute to watch this video! #biom4180 https://t.co/xEMPbOvq3K

Another study demonstrating the importance of sleep for cardiovascular health! #biom4180

[William Lutz @WillCardio]

Another study showing the importance of getting adequate sleep every night. Recent findings are showing that disturbed sleep causing excessive sleepiness, results in a 3-fold increased risk of heart failure. #biom4180

Research shows that only 5% of Americans actually eat the recommended amount of fiber! We tend to focus more on carbs and proteins, but eating more fiber is great to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and high cholesterol! So, let's eat more fruits and veggies! #biom4180

[Neal Barnard, MD @DrNealBarnard]

Fiber is "the closest thing we have to a true superfood," boosting heart health and reducing diabetes and cancer risk. But 95% of Americans aren't eating enough: https://t.co/3AuxuTs9lO

@Sofija77984642 Yes, it's very interesting! It's also great to know that we can reduce the risk of such diseases by simply changing our mindset and being more optimistic! #biom4180

[Dua A @DuaCardio]

Several studies showed that being optimistic can lower the risk of developing heart diseases by 30%, and having a positive mindset is beneficial even to those who have cardiovascular diseases as it can lower the risk of having a heart attack! #biom4180

@MatthewVanCamp3 I think that age would be a big factor involved, but what do you think? #biom4180

[Dua A @DuaCardio]

This article describes what we learned about in our last cardiology class, that coffee is good for heart health! Coffee is a great source of antioxidants and can reduce inflammation assoiated with heart disease and diabetes! #biom4180

An 11-year Norwegian study confirmed what we learned in class today, that mental health and heart healthh are connected, they found that indivduals suffering from depression have a 40% increased risk of developing heart failure! #biom4180 https://t.co/BEL21EW4RI

Eggs are known to be high in cholestrol, and this study investigated this and followed volunteers for 17 years and found that eating more eggs can increase the risk of getting heart failure, stroke and even premature death! #biom4180 https://t.co/TjYklWejag

Sleep is essential to maintain a healthy body! #biom4180

[alicia_cardio @AliciaCardio]

Recent research has found that sleeping reduces the amount of inflammatory cells, the amount of plaque build up and the risk of hardening arteries. Read more about it below! #BIOM4180

Interesting article relating high cardiovascular risk to damaged brain structure! #biom4180

[Carly @CarlyCardio]

New research found that individuals with increased CV risks (hypertension, diabetes, etc.) are correlated with greater brain atrophy, less grey matter, and poor white matter health with aging. #biom4180

Skipping breakfast has been connected to a higher blood pressure, higher cholestrerol level, and a higher risk of coronary heart disease! So don't skip breakfast, your heart depends on it!

Naps not only help us re-energize but can also be beneficial to our hearts! #biom4180

[Dua A @DuaCardio]

Lots of studies have been investigating the interaction between the environment and cardiovascular health, and air pollution seems to be a big factor involved! #biom4180

[AlannaBIOM @AlannaBiom]

Where you live may negatively impact the health of your heart. This article mentions various mechanisms in which air pollution can increase a person's risk of heart disease. #biom4180 https://t.co/ppbxzaJ0dA

[Emma Holjak @CardioEmma]

Researchers have found that individuals living in areas surrounded by trees and green space were 25% less likely to have a heart attack. This can be due to green spaces encouraging physical activity as well as having lower levels of air pollution! 🌳🌴🌿 #biom4180
