Regular consumption of small quantities of red wine seems particularly beneficial, in particular because of a lower risk of several cancers observed in wine drinkers.
Beneficial cardiometabolic effects of the vegan diet vs. an omnivorous diet
In a randomized, controlled clinical study in identical twins, the vegan diet improved cardiometabolic health compared to an omnivorous diet.
Cardiovascular benefits associated with body weight loss
The results of clinical studies on new anti-obesity drugs confirm that significant body weight loss is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
Intense physical activity could promote respiratory infections
A multi-omics analysis in forest firefighters suggests that strenuous physical activity may increase susceptibility to respiratory infections.
Physical activity, exercise and brain health!

Emulsifiers: Food additives that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease?
High consumption of certain emulsifiers widely used in the manufacture of ultra-processed foods is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Noise, a little-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease
Several epidemiological studies report that prolonged exposure to traffic noise is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
The benefits of “forest bathing” on psychological well-being

Reducing chronic stress contributes to the positive effects of moderate alcohol consumption on the risk of cardiovascular disease
A study reports that moderate alcohol consumption (1-14 drinks per week) reduces activity in the amygdala, the region of the brain involved in the stress response. The resulting reduction in chronic stress is associated with a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events.
