One thought on “A Daily Plan to Reduce Visceral Fat and Systemic Inflammation”
Importance of sleep: Poor sleep quality and insufficient sleep duration have been linked to higher levels of inflammationâspecifically increased markers such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6âwhich are known risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke. A community-based study surveying over 500 middle-aged adults found those sleeping fewer than six hours per night showed significantly elevated inflammation levels compared to those sleeping six to nine hours, even after accounting for other risk factors like smoking and obesity. This chronic inflammation from inadequate sleep may explain the heightened risk for heart disease related to poor sleep patterns. Furthermore, poor sleep quality is associated with higher blood pressure and increased arterial stiffness, particularly in men, further contributing to cardiovascular risk. These findings underscore the vital importance of maintaining healthy sleep habitsâideally seven to eight hours per nightâfor reducing inflammation and protecting heart health over the long term.
