Vitamin C Associated with 42% Reduced Risk for Stroke

Vitamin C is one of those antioxidants that pushers of drugs love to say does nothing good, despite hundreds of studies to the contrary. Now the naysayers are turning orange and purple with envy. A new study following 20,000 people ages 40-79 from the United Kingdom found that after a decade those with the highest levels of vitamin C in their blood had a 42% decreased risk for stroke.

High Triglycerides Boost Stroke Risk

A new study in JAMA indicates that nonfasting triglyceride levels are associated with stroke risk. This data follows other recent research linking them to heart attacks. Nonfasting triglycerides are not measured on routine blood tests, which are typically fasting. Nonfasting triglycerides are more reflective of what your body is actually doing during the day. Every time you snack between meals you raise your triglycerides, which is why rule #2 of the Leptin Diet is to eat three meals a day and do not snack.

Leptin Protects Your Brain, Energizes Your Body

The fat-hormone leptin must get into your brain in order to activate your metabolism and help protect your brain from inflammation and damage. A new study documents that leptin even protects brain cells from low oxygen states that are related to stroke damage.

Gum Problems Linked to Early Stroke in Men

Men take note – the risk of a stroke before age 65 is significantly increased in any man who has suffered periodontal bone loss as a result of a longer term issue with gum problems.

Coumadin Alert - Is Sticky Blood Protective?

The “wisdom” of Western medicine assumes that sticky blood is a problem that must be solved at all costs so as to reduce the risk for a stroke. This assumption has led to wide scale over-prescribing of blood thinners like Coumadin. Coumadin is responsible for more drug injuries than any other drug and even causes bone loss, facts I review in an earlier article (FDA Sleeps While Common Medications Poison the Elderly). A new study shows that such medical treatment is likely to cause an increase in unstable plaque and actually increase the risk for stroke!

Can Inosine Repair Nerve Damage?

Cutting edge research has identified an enzyme, Mst3b, that is essential for regenerating damaged axons (nerve fibers) in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Their research shows that Mst3B is stimulated by inosine, opening the door for a simple nutritional strategy to help regenerate nerve health. Earlier animal research on inosine indicates that it can help repair nerve damage following a stroke.

Men Need Moderate-to-Heavy Exercise for Stroke Prevention

A new study of 3,298 people showed that men who regularly participated in moderate-to-heavy exercise (jogging, tennis, swimming) had a 63 percent less chance of having a stroke. Lighter exercise such as walking or golfing did not confer such benefits.

Tocotrienols Prevent Excitotoxic Brain Cell Death

Researchers at Ohio State University have shown that alpha tocotrienol, a special kind of vitamin E, can neutralize the chain of events that commonly leads to brain cell death, an ability that not only offers general protection from common pollution and stress but also preserves the brain following stroke.

Saturated Fat Not Linked to Heart Disease

A meta-analysis of 21 studies involving almost 350,000 people followed their diets ranging from 6 years to 23 years. The study found no link between the intake of saturated fat and the risk for heart disease or stroke. Studies like this drive the statin-pushing American Heart Association crazy.

Resveratrol Protects Brain from Stroke Damage

The anti-aging resveratrol has yet another newly demonstrated method of protecting the brain. A variety of new cell and animal studies show that is activates an enzyme within the brain called heme oxygenase 1 that boosts up the brain’s defense system. When researchers gave relatively small amounts of resveratrol as a protective nutrient and then induced experimental stroke, reseveratrol drastically minimized the damage compared to animals not given resveratrol.
