Adults between 45 and 64 saw a 19.6% relative increase, and adults 65 and older saw a 13.7% relative increase. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Demi Washington, a Vanderbilt University School of Medicine basketball player, got COVID-19 in late 2020, pre-vaccine. Demi\u2019s symptoms were mild, and she felt no indications or signs that her heart was inflamed, nor did she have a genetic predisposition. Before she could resume playing, the university required her to undergo an MRI, which showed she had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) that a virus can trigger. It usually resolves as the infection wanes but sometimes can cause arrhythmias, heart failure, cardiac arrest, and sudden death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Unfortunately, similar stories of young people, particularly healthy athletes experiencing stroke or heart attacks, have become more common since the pandemic. Demi has since recovered and is back to playing ball. However, this experience sheds light on the thousands of young adults infected with COVID-19 whose health did not rebound as successfully.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #5c8ea4;\">\u201cYoung people are obviously not really supposed to die of heart attack.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2013 Dr. Susan Cheng, study co-author<\/span><\/h4>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">BREAKING NEWS February 2023<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">\u2014<\/span> <span class=\"s4\"><em>The Lancet<\/em> medical journal published the results of a meta-analysis of the scientific literature on COVID-19, which showed immunity from a past SARS-CoV-2 infection is as protective as vaccination against severe illness and death. More on this groundbreaking review in the next volume of <em>Women\u2019s Voice.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #5c8ea4;\"><b>The Question is Why<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #5c8ea4;\">Why is this happening more often in healthy young people? <\/span><\/h5>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s1\">There are various possibilities based on current data, including:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The body\u2019s immune system causes inflammation in the heart and blood vessels in response to an infection or other triggers. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">SARS-CoV-2 virus and certain strains of influenza can damage the heart\u2019s muscle directly, which decreases the heart\u2019s ability to pump blood, often leading to stroke or heart attack.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">SARS-CoV-2 also increases the viscosity (stickiness) of the blood, and this, combined with inflammation in the blood vessels, increases the likelihood of blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">In some people, this normal defensive immune inflammatory response is exaggerated, resulting in inflammation that can destroy healthy tissue and damage organs such as the heart, kidneys, and lungs. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">When it comes to younger people, they generally have a more robust immune response, which can also lead to a heightened inflammatory response to the viral infection.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #5c8ea4;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>\u201c<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s2\">This is not even just like the flu&#8230; This virus is still very different from any other virus we have seen in our lifetime<\/span><span class=\"s3\">.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>\u201d<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> &#8211; Dr. Susan Cheng\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"> <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">According to <em>The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)<\/em><i>,<\/i> data suggests that even 30 days post a COVID-19 infection, people are still at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), including pericarditis, myocarditis, heart failure, thrombo-embolic disorders, and more. The results of this study show that the risk can last up to one year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So, other than not getting COVID-19, which seems very rare at this point, what can a person do to protect blood vessels and the heart from increased inflammation?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c42026;\"><strong>Omega-3 Fatty Acids<\/strong><\/span> are some of the best supplements for circulation and have been shown to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Encourage the release of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow through them<\/li>\n<li>Have anti-inflammatory properties, which encourage proper dilation and reduce the risk of CVD<\/li>\n<li>Prevent \u201csticky blood\u201d and reduce the risk of blood clots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #c42026;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Vitamin K2<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s2\"> activates proteins that bind to calcium, moving it out of the soft tissues, including the arteries. This helps keep blood vessels flexible and open for better circulation. Studies have shown that vitamin K2 is linked not only with reductions<br \/>\nin arterial calcification but also with a lower risk of death from CVD.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #5c8ea4;\"><b>Antioxidants Reduce Oxidative Stress and Inflammation<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When the production of free radicals (unstable atoms that damage cells) outpaces the body\u2019s level of antioxidants, it causes oxidative stress, which damages cells and tissues. The immune system responds by initiating an inflammatory response that can result in chronic inflammation. By reducing oxidative stress in the endothelium (lining of heart and blood vessels), antioxidants help prevent and reduce inflammation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The best antioxidants for circulatory health include: <br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #c42026;\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Turmeric\/curcumin<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> is widely recognized as one of nature\u2019s most powerful anti-inflammatories. It also reduces platelet aggregation and promotes nitric oxide release, making it great for blood flow. Absorption of turmeric is notoriously poor, so make sure you get a product with enhanced bioavailability, such as Theracurmin\u00ae.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #c42026;\">Resveratrol<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\"> In addition to countering oxidative stress and inflammation in the blood vessels, resveratrol also improves blood flow and reduces excessive clotting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #c42026;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Grape seed extract and pycnogenol<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s2\"> are also known to enhance blood vessel health and improve circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #c42026;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Water<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s2\"> is critically important to prevent increased blood viscosity, in addition to following a healthy lifestyle such as the Mediterranean diet and regular exercise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_0 et_pb_row_empty\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> The age group hit the hardest was people between 25 and 44, who saw a 29.9% increase in heart attack deaths over the first two years \u2013 30% higher than the predicted number.
