You could reduce risk even more by walking 1.5 – 2 hours weekly and running and lifting a bit less.
So glad u deep dive on this I’ve been wondering about this thanks @siim fantastic detail & succinct & exoteric💪
I wonder if doing Z2 cardio eventually improves capacity for high intensity exercise by improving the body’s capacity to recover and deal with stress induced oxidants
I believe it does
When I jog lightly, the next day I feel fresher and more energetic.
Hey, Siim. I have to say, as someone that’s been subscribed for a year or two, someone that follows many of the top global docs, professors and scientist for several years. This is the video that has propelled you into that category. Wasn’t sure you had what it takes, but yeah, you do.
Yeah and he’s not even pumping AG1.
All in balance 🙏
Simple solution: 1st, watch out exercise intensity, make sure do warm up and cool down; 2nd add magnesium if you’re older and exercise. Magnesium prevents calcium buildup in cholesterol plaque in arteries. Magnesium levels are dropping as we get older. Man also need more magnesium than women.
If you consume a lot of seed oils nothing will save you, thats why CVD has sky rocketed.
The studies showing ‘exercise builds palque’ – WHAT YEAR WERE THEY FROM ??
Did they handle ‘CONFOUNDING FACTORS’ ?? (eg. differences in the diet … where any of the subjects low carb ?)
I have experience with this. I am 62, high score, life long athlete. No symptoms. I would add some of the images shown are misleading, in most of these cases the calcifications start on the outside of the arteries and may not impact at all. Many cardiologist have acknowledged this, they do a catheter and despite a lot of calcification the artery is clear.
Very interesting content! I have read about the theory that vigorous endurance training leads to a massive calorie expenditure. Runners can eat a lot, and apparently tend to eat a lot of saturated fat and salty foods on the way. Many think they can eat anything because the needle on the scale isn’t moving. But they get most of the detrimental effects of the unhealthy nutrition anyways such as inflammation and plaque. It seemed like you’ll need to double down as an endurance athlete to balance your massive energy expenditure with healthy foods such as nuts and whole grains. Not sure if this theory might contribute to an explanation for the plaques in athletes vessels.
The key is stopping all the sugar consumption during athletic training that coupled with frequent meals spikes insulin levels along with high blood sugar causing inflammation on top of training.
Single leg hopping improves bone density. It also reduces arterial calcification by shunting calcium from the bloodstream into the bones. You’re welcome!
I think one should focus more on the microbes causing the infections and plaques in arteries. We don’t want to feed them with supplements, but instead eradicate them with antimicrobials. The lessons from the now old Marshall Protocol should not be forgotten. They used a mix of 3 antibiotics to treat all sorts of chronic dieseases with some success.
Everything make more sense now. Inflammation and aging goes together!
Very good video!
Thank you very much!
Latest exercise research seems to say “zone 2” is the best kind of cardio exercise. Not running. For most people this is a brisk walk up an incline or a moderate bike ride. Enough to sweat but also able to carry on a conversation with labored breath. 45-60 minutes preferable for at least 150 minutes per week total.
The Japanese breakfast fermented soybean meal called Natto has high amounts of Vitamin K2, one key in minimising calcification. An obvious unique attribute of their great mortality rate.
You can get an ultrasound of your carotid artery. That will show both hard and soft plaque.
