In this podcast, Doctor Warrick discusses the impact of obesity, pre-diabetes, and diabetes on heart attack prevention.
He explains that the widespread availability of high-caloric processed foods and less activity has led to the obesity epidemic in first-world countries. Carrying extra weight can increase the risk of atherosclerosis coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and diabetes. The most important thing people can do is to be aware of the impact of high-caloric processed foods and eat natural, balanced foods. Weight loss becomes complex once the weight is too high, and caloric restriction and carbohydrate restriction are valuable starting points. Face-to-face interaction with someone to support weight loss makes the most sense, and accountability and support are important factors. Medications and bariatric surgery can be options for weight loss.
Diabetes is closely linked to atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease, and early intervention is much better than leaving it too late.
- Heart disease is a significant issue in Australia, and many heart attacks could be prevented with proper knowledge.
- The Mediterranean diet is associated with better health outcomes, including less dyslipidemia, colonic digestive pathologies, and prostate, breast, and colon disease.
- There are many molecular indicators of aging, including genomic instability, telomere wear, epigenetic alterations, and an imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation.
- Autophagy, or the body gobbling up cells that are no longer functional, is an important indicator of aging.
- Chronic inflammation and imbalances in the microbiome are also indicators of aging.
- There is no clear-cut diet tie to longevity, but reducing chronic conditions and improving their management can impact age and health span.
- There is no healthy amount of alcohol, and there is no clear evidence that consumption of alcohol is beneficial in reducing Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMOA).
- Red wine may improve antioxidant levels in the blood, but it is not clear if it is beneficial in reducing TMOA.
- Coronary artery disease kills one in four people, and most people are likely to carry some risk or know someone who does.
