A new study finds vegan dieters have higher concentrations of omega-6 fatty acids and lower quantities of health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids, including pro-resolving lipid mediators, in their cell membranes when compared to omnivores.
Resolvins are bioactive lipids made from dietary omega-3 fatty acids that help resolve inflammation.
Resolvins were not detected in the plasma of any vegan subjects, whereas nine out of twenty-four omnivores had detectable concentrations.
These new findings have important implications for heart, brain and prenatal health.

The health benefits of ‘weight loss’ are cancelled out if the weight that you’re losing is from muscle. Here's why you should prioritize protein and resistance training to lose body fat instead.

After years of intensive LDL-lowering therapies heart disease is still the leading cause of death, claiming over 600,000 lives annually in the USA alone. It's time to focus more on triglycerides and metabolic health.

Here’s a few key takeaways: 

01:45 LDL lowering drugs do not affect triglycerides. 
03:41 Triglycerides and remnant cholesterol are associated with the formation of plaque in vessels throughout your body. 
05:45 Total cholesterol minus HDL minus LDL helps you determine your remnant cholesterol. 
11:20 Triglyceride rich lipoproteins promote inflammation and adhesion. 
12:00 High triglycerides (fasted and non-fasted) are associated with higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
14:40 Increased triglyceride concentration is associated with a 37% increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Time Stamps:
00:00 Exercise is the most important medicine for COVID19.
02:10 Exercise reduces the severity of upper respiratory tract infections.
02:30 Exercise reduces odds of contracting COVID, being hospitalized, being in the ICU, and risk of death.
05:10 Exercise reduces inflammation.
07:30 Autophagy and mitophagy occur with every exercise session, optimizing energy production.
09:20 Exercise prevents the accumulation of exhausted T cells.
10:45 Exercise releases myokines that help the thymus gland release T cells.
11:00 T cells and B cells are mobilized in the blood by increased catecholamines during exercise, and likely cold exposure.
11:20 Natural killer cells and viral specific T cells occur with each exercise session.
12:00 Aerobic exercise mobilizes T lymphocytes, T cells, and effector cells.
13:00 Exercise exerts anti-inflammatory effects within the heart.
13:50 Stem cells from muscle are released during intense exercise.
14:35 Your frontline mucosal defense is impacted by exercise.
15:30 Myokines from exercise increase BDNF.
