The Connection Between Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health

Cardiovascular health is intricately linked to metabolic function, with significant implications for longevity. For instance, elevated fasting blood glucose levels, even within the clinically normal range, are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality risk. This connection underscores the necessity of optimizing metabolic health to prevent cardiovascular diseases. The focus should extend beyond glucose levels to include insulin, oxidative stress, inflammation, and gut health, as all these factors contribute to overall cardiovascular well-being.
