Using an AI tool, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have analyzed brain images from 70-year-olds and estimated their brains' biological age. They found that factors detrimental to vascular health, such as inflammation and high glucose levels, are associated with an older-looking brain, while healthy lifestyles were linked to brains with a younger appearance.

As a cardiologist, I am frequently asked about supplements and heart health. In general, I am not a fan. Personally, I take two supplements. Whey protein for hitting my daily protein targets. Creatine for improving exercise performance and muscle mass. Neither of these supplements is for improving ‘heart health’ During the winter months, I will occasionally take vitamin D if my levels are low, but generally, if I get enough time outside, even during the winter months, I do not need t
