Multiple studies have also found that magnesium supplements can significantly reduce blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is the measure of the maximum blood pressure in your arteries as your heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure is…

Your gut microbiome is the community of trillions of microorganisms (such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses) that live in your gut. These microbes play key roles in digestion, immunity, and overall health. What you eat significantly affects this balance. Foods like red meat, ultra-processed foods, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, and dairy can hurt your gut health. Eating red meats like beef, lamb, and pork can increase certain toxins in your gut. Gut microbes turn L-carnitine, an amino acid found in red meat, into a harmful compound called trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). TMAO may lead to artery hardening and increased risk of heart disease.…
