Metformin prevents immune cells and macrophages from releasing dangerous molecules into the blood that promote heart attacks and strokes.

A new study by Staffordshire University shows that people who understand their ‘heart age’ are more likely to make healthy lifestyle changes

Most strokes happen when an artery in the brain becomes blocked. Blood flow to the neural tissue stops, and those tissues typically die.

As much as 90% of the risk of a heart attack, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease can be explained by smoking and poor eating habits.

Determining an individual’s blood group based on genetic tests instead of traditional blood tests can provide a better picture of risks.

Replacing salt with a low-sodium alternative lowers the risk of stroke in people with high blood pressure or prior stroke.
