A new study finds vegan dieters have higher concentrations of omega-6 fatty acids and lower quantities of health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids, including pro-resolving lipid mediators, in their cell membranes when compared to omnivores. Resolvins are bioactive lipids made from dietary omega-3 fatty acids that help resolve inflammation. Resolvins were not detected in the plasma of any vegan subjects, whereas nine out of twenty-four omnivores had detectable concentrations. These new findings have important implications for heart, brain and prenatal health.

The health benefits of ‘weight loss’ are cancelled out if the weight that you’re losing is from muscle. Here's why you should prioritize protein and resistance training to lose body fat instead.  Sponsored: Support your Workout Sessions and Healthy Hydration with this Creatine Electrolyte Combo by MYOXCIENCE: bit.ly/electrolyte-stix Save 12% with code podcast at checkout Link to Video and Studies: https://bit.ly/44wVL3d Studies Mentioned: Christoffersen, B.

After years of intensive LDL-lowering therapies heart disease is still the leading cause of death, claiming over 600,000 lives annually in the USA alone. It's time to focus more on triglycerides and metabolic health.  Support your Intermittent Fasting lifestyle with the Berberine Fasting Accelerator  by MYOXCIENCE: bit.ly/Berberine-Fasting-Accelerator Save with code Podcast at checkout Research Links: https://bit.ly/3YR5wIl Here’s a few key takeaways:  01:45 LDL lowering drugs do not affect triglycerides.  03:41 Triglycerides and remnant cholesterol are associated with the formation of plaque in vessels throughout your body.  05:45 Total cholesterol minus HDL minus LDL helps you determine your remnant cholesterol.  11:20 Triglyceride rich lipoproteins promote inflammation and adhesion.  12:00 High triglycerides (fasted and non-fasted) are associated with higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. 14:40 Increased triglyceride concentration is associated with a 37% increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
