Excess cholesterol is known to form artery-clogging plaques that can lead to stroke, arterial disease, heart attack, and more, making it the focus of many heart health campaigns. Fortunately, this attention to cholesterol has prompted the development of cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins and lifestyle interventions like dietary and exercise regimens.

A research team from the Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine has discovered a promising way to slow the progression of heart failure in mice. They fed mice a diet rich in the soybean protein, β-conglycinin (β-CG), which can support heart health by influencing gut bacteria. Their analysis revealed that the soybean protein rich diet increased the production of the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the intestine that play a role in protecting the heart.

Development of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine has been key to countering the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Despite the current endemic status of COVID-19, patients with comorbidities and older adults remain vulnerable to severe illness and death due to COVID-19 infection. Therefore, medical agencies and organizations worldwide recommend COVID-19 vaccination, especially for individuals with an underlying disease.
