    Minimise inflammation.
    Minimise / avoid seed oils.
    Minimise / avoid added/refined sugars/
    If you drink milk, drink Casein A2 milk from Jersey cows or sheep/goats.
    If you eat meat, eat grass-fed ruminants (beef/lamb etc)
    Eat in-season vegetables.
    Consume HIGH QUALITY olive oil. Buy a reputable brand that has been tested for provenance.
    Take gastro-coated aspirin tablets every day.
    MINIMISE INFLAMMATION.
    Don't smoke.
    Don't be diabetic.
    Walk 15,000 steps every day.
    Fast 24 hours at least once a month.

    Heart disease is the result of chronic vascular inflammation + damage. When your blood vessel linings are damaged, clots form to repair the damage. If these clotting processes (thromogenesis) occur faster than the repair + breakdown processes (thrombolysis) then the clots will keep growing ("arterial plaques").

        I mean the immune system response to non-self antigens. Poor gut health leads to leaky-gut syndrome which leads to bacteria and inflammatory food proteins entering the blood stream and increasing systemic inflammation. High blood sugar destroys the glycocalyx, the sugar-protein structures that line the inside of your blood vessels, causing inflammation.
        Smoking introduces inflammatory chemicals directly into your bloodstream via your lungs.

              no shit
              but avoiding sugar or even carbs in general won't do much to your blood sugar because your blood sugar needs to be in a certain range for you to not die (doesn't matter if your blood sugar spikes after eating what matters is the value average throughout the day)
              there are plenty of ppl eating even ketogenic diets and their blood sugar shows up as normal when the norm is eating a ton of carbs

              so what can we do? just lower your blood lipids
              with diet or drugs if necessary

                The science is not settled. Science is never settled. There are a lot of cardiologists sceptical of the cholesterol hypothesis. That isn't to say that serum cholesterol isn't a factor or that it isn't involved, or that a high cholesterol level might worsen it, but it is NOT the underlying cause. Just like the smoke in a house fire might be what finally kills you, rather than the fire itself or the lack of oxygen, high serum cholesterol can work in tandem with other risk factors to worsen your health.

        It can if you take uncoated aspirin. Aspirin is bad for your stomach lining but it doesn't cause issues for your intestinal lining, whereas ibuprofen/paracetamol are OK for your stomach lining but are bad for your intestinal lining.
        Gastro-enteric coated aspirin tablets won't dissolve until they reach your small intestine, protecting your stomach lining.

            People with exceptionally low LDL-C also develop atherosclerosis. If LDL-C were the essential cause, then how do you explain these cases?
            There is no dose-dependent relationship between LDL-C levels and severity of atherosclerosis.If LDL-C were the essential cause, you would expect higher LDL-C to mean more severe atherosclerosis, which is not always the case.

              they don't develop it with low LDL-C they accumulate it over years and then when they are diagnosed with cardiovascular problems or hypercholesterolemia they attempt to lower their LDL-C but artery blockage takes years to reverse

              we know what happens when an animal has a high LDL-C no matter the "cause" the result is the same no matter the species, atherosclerosis.

                Let's talk about the Minnesota Coronary Experiment.

                >In 1968, about ten years after the beginning and two years after the first publication of the results of the Seven Countries Study, Keys and Ivan Frantz initiated a large randomized control trial, replacing saturated fats by food items with naturally high or artificially raised content of linoleic acid in an intervention group.

                >Results – The intervention group had significant reduction in serum cholesterol compared with controls (mean change from baseline −13.8% v −1.0%; P<0.001). Kaplan Meier graphs showed no mortality benefit for the intervention group in the full randomized cohort or for any prespecified subgroup. There was a 22% higher risk of death for each 30 mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) reduction in serum cholesterol in covariate adjusted Cox regression models (hazard ratio 1.22, 95% confidence interval 1.14 to 1.32; P<0.001). There was no evidence of benefit in the intervention group for coronary atherosclerosis or myocardial infarcts. Systematic review identified five randomized controlled trials for inclusion (n=10808). In meta-analyses, these cholesterol lowering interventions showed no evidence of benefit on mortality from coronary heart disease (1.13, 0.83 to 1.54) or all cause mortality (1.07, 0.90 to 1.27).
                Conclusions – Available evidence from randomized controlled trials shows that replacement of saturated fat in the diet with linoleic acid effectively lowers serum cholesterol but does not support the hypothesis that this translates to a lower risk of death from coronary heart disease or all causes. Findings from the Minnesota Coronary Experiment add to growing evidence that incomplete publication has contributed to overestimation of the benefits of replacing saturated fat with vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid.

    Vitamin K2, fiber, cardio, and 3-5 day monthly fasting are the healthiest means. Your arteries don't usually start clogging until you already have underlying damage. You can accrue damage with no warning though. So you should generally aim to keep your cholesterol profile in check through those means. Some will argue that lowering cholesterol also leads to lowering of testosterone since testosterone is derived from cholesterol. You'll have to make the judgement for yourself.
    There are other methods doctors will recommend like seed oils, but they work by oxidizing lipids. Which is good for temporary cardiac health but also leads to cancer. Many people also report feeling awful when they introduce them into their diet. So it's a balancing act and you need to decide for yourself which sounds scarier.

          >Your arteries don't usually start clogging until you already have underlying damage
          the atherosclerosis process starts before puberty

          we've known the cause of atherosclerosis
          for 60 years now
          this thread is discussing atherosclerosis specifically not heart disease in general which includes genetic defects and early development malformations
          the cause of atherosclerosis is high blood lipids

          high blood lipids don't cause atherosclerosis
          vascular shear stress and flow turbulence is the underlying cause that creates dysfunctional endothelium.
          You would understand this if you understood what's happening at a cell and molecular level in the arteries, and thus why atherosclerosis only happens principally in the coronaries, and then in marginally less of the population in the carotids, superficial femoral, popliteal, and peroneal arteries. There is no radial artery, ulnar, brachial, etc. pathologies unless your genetics are fricked because the flow conditions aren't present there.

          one of two pathophysiologies happens:
          >fibrotic route
          1. high wall shear stress and turbulent flow induce endothelial morphologic changes
          2. vSMC's proliferate which turns into adaptive intimal thickening (AIT)
          3. adaptive intimal thickening turns into pathologic intimal thickening as a feedback loop is created where stenosis creates high shear stress which outpaces the artery's ability to dilate, which causes further vSMC proliferation
          4. this turns into a fibrotic plaque, which eventually encounters levels of shear stress sufficient to dehisce the endothelium from the smooth muscle, causing a plaque erosion
          5. Additionally, it may progress to the below route if it gets thick enough to present a hypoxic core which releases HIF-1a and VEGF

          >TCFA route
          1. high wall shear stress, turbulent flow, or low wall shear stress (bifurcations) induce endothelial dysfunction by separating VE-Cadherin tight junctions
          2. VE-cadherin separation causes the release of its anchoring molecule, p-120 catenin, which induces gene expression changes in EC's
          3. because tight junctions are severed, blood products such as lipid, sugars, cholesterol, and lysed cell products are allowed to leak into the media of the vessel
          4. These molecules do two things: accumulate in numbers, and cause vSMC's and EC's to signal inflammation using VCAM, ICAM-1, and other cytokines

          cont.

            5. VCAM, ICAM, and inflammatory load cause circulating monocytes to adhere and extravasate into the vessel wall
            6. these monocytes become macrophages and start to phagocytose the sugar, lipid, and cholesterol
            7. They become "foamy macrophages" which are just WBCs that are too fat to return to circulation
            8. In addition, by now the plaque is usually large enough to have a hypoxic center, which causes VEGF and HIF-1a release
            9. In tandem, foamy macrophages start to die, increasing the inflammatory condition of the plaque (necrotic core), while more macrophages enter both to scavenge the dead cell parts as well as build new blood vessels into the plaque
            10. the blood vessels built into the plaque are leaky and immature, which allows red blood cells to enter and die, releasing hemosiderin and causing CD163 macrophages to enter to scavenge the hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes within the plaque
            11. eventually the plaque is too large to maintain and shear stress causes the thin fibrous cap (thin-capped fibroatheroma, TCFA) to rupture and thrombose

            There are also several other types of plaque morphologies with their own etiologies such as CTO's and healed ruptures, but those are the main two.
            as long as you have literally any fat and cholesterol in your bloodstream, atherosclerosis will progress. The main thing that has to happen is twofold:
            1. your vessels must keep dilating in response to oxygen demand in your heart and retain plasticity, e.g. you must exercise as well as vary your blood pressure
            2. you must have good collateralization because plaque WILL accumulate no matter what statin or ACEi or designer drug you're on because doctors believe that physiologically normal levels of blood lipid are bad. Collateralization saves lives and our ancestors were sufficiently non-sedentary that they had good collateralization de facto.

                two blood vessels that supply the same tissue
                so for instance, the "widowmaker" is the left anterior descending artery or LAD
                from the LAD, you have diagonal branches, D1, D2, D3, etc
                if you have good collateralization, D1 and D2 may supply the same tissue, D3 and distal LAD may supply the same tissue
                Basically good collateralization means that you may be able to have a total blockage in an artery and not have ill effects out of it

                basically: "you can get off the highway at either exit and still get to your house"

                so you're saying in this regard it's merely chance? how long does it take to remove deposits in the arteries through diet and exercise?

                >how long does it take to remove deposits in the arteries through diet and exercise?
                they can't be removed except with a rotoblator or an endarterectomy (which happens for carotids)
                arteries can dilate in response to flow conditions, the question is just "does the pace of plaque deposition outpace the artery's ability to compensate"
                you can have "50% stenosis" in an artery but still have good perfusion, because stenosis is just a measure of the cross-sectional area of the lumen vs the cross sectional area within the internal elastic lamina
                it's like back problems. Your body does a good job of managing the problem itself, as long as you don't frick up and make it more difficult to do so. Despite this, on a long enough timeline everyone will get intervertebral disk degeneration, just like everyone will get some degree of heart disease.

                So how does blood LDL relate to atherosclerosis, exactly? And how important are time frames of elevation?

                Anonymous

                >So how does blood LDL relate to atherosclerosis, exactly?
                blood LDL is an errant metric
                it doesn't really relate to the development of atherosclerosis unless you have LP(a), because LP(a) will bind to PDGF and a lot of other platelet-related factors
                there are plenty of people on statins who have absolutely dogshit arteries, and there are plenty of people with high LDL and only moderate, expected level CAD

                there's been a total misunderstanding as to what a "fatty plaque" or "fatty atheroma" is. Macrophages infiltrate in order to scavenge fat and cholesterol, however it's the macrophages that are driving the pathology. The macrophages don't just wander into the plaque, they bind to VCAM and PDGF and a whole host of other receptors in response to cytokine release due to inflammation.

                It's actually very similar to cancer, where the presence of immune response is actually counterproductive past a certain point. the TME is actually the best model environment for CAD

                >And how important are time frames of elevation?
                periodicity is good just like everything, but you're more or less out of control of this unless you're talking about YoY levels.

                global inlfammatory cytokines are different from paracrine cytokines like HIF-1 and juxtacrine signals like VCAM

              avoiding inflammation is the best way, but that's just generalized inflammatory condition. The inflammation I'm talking about is fairly localized
              a good split between cardio like cycling, rowing, or swimming and good heavy strength training seems to be the best way to keep your heart healthy without eventually dooming yourself to triathlete syndrome and having good arteries but shitty valves
              unironically it's mostly genetics
              the best thing you can do is stay healthy using the above, so that when you do have a heart attack, it doesn't kill you.
              best thing to do is just stay on top of how you feel every day as you get older. getting suddenly winded with no explanation, feeling shitty and sick without doing anything, means you should probably see a cardiologist because it could mean the difference between some light PCI stenting or POBA and some dude cracking your chest.

      Avoid animal products, eat healthy vegetable oils (canola oil, sunflower oil etc)

      Avoid all kinds of fat, eat lean meat like elk, chicken breast, or rabbit. Fill in the rest of your needed calories in with carbs.

        Fat is required to live, unironically. You would die if you ate 0 fats eventually.

          >What is conversion of carbs to fat
          >What is bodyfat
          If my body could synthesize it then why would it be essential? Best part is a third of the carbs get lost as heat during the conversion process.

            You're actually braindead if you think that's how it works. Try going 0 fat for a month and let me know how you're doing, you won't since you'll be dead.

              I've gone multiple months on <20g a day. Perform way better in the gym and on cardio too. Fat is not an essential nutrient. You're thinking a white rice and fruit only diet that is indeed deadly but because of lack of protein and B12, not lack of fat.

                I eat lean meats. I hate veganism just as much as keto for the sole reason that they push out seed oils as health food. Enjoy the insulin resistance if you combine the fat with carbs.

                you eat fat even if you don't want to it's impossible to avoid it unless you eat nothing but sugar

                >pretends to be expert on Mongolian basket weaving forum
                LDL is a surrogate marker for a clinical outcome, it is not the clinical outcome and will never be the clinical outcome.
                stop posting and consider taking a basic scientific literature course before attempting to enter these discussions again

                high blood lipids are bad in all animals and a sign of metabolic disfunction
                being myopic about muh mechanisms doesn't change the fact that having a high LDL-C is bad and it will always be bad

                >He died from eating too much meat, butter, and fat
                said no one ever

                you can't say anything when dead

                >So how does blood LDL relate to atherosclerosis, exactly?
                blood LDL is an errant metric
                it doesn't really relate to the development of atherosclerosis unless you have LP(a), because LP(a) will bind to PDGF and a lot of other platelet-related factors
                there are plenty of people on statins who have absolutely dogshit arteries, and there are plenty of people with high LDL and only moderate, expected level CAD

                there's been a total misunderstanding as to what a "fatty plaque" or "fatty atheroma" is. Macrophages infiltrate in order to scavenge fat and cholesterol, however it's the macrophages that are driving the pathology. The macrophages don't just wander into the plaque, they bind to VCAM and PDGF and a whole host of other receptors in response to cytokine release due to inflammation.

                It's actually very similar to cancer, where the presence of immune response is actually counterproductive past a certain point. the TME is actually the best model environment for CAD

                >And how important are time frames of elevation?
                periodicity is good just like everything, but you're more or less out of control of this unless you're talking about YoY levels.

                high blood lipids are bad

    Go on a weeklong alcohol bender with minimal food and water to increase your blood alcohol levels to max, it will dissolve the fat deposits.

      The leanest and most athletic i've been was during one particular summer when all I did was drink lots of alcohol, eat little and lift/run/do lots of sports every day. I used to work a physical job too in a warehouse for constructions materials. Easiest the 1 period in my life when I felt the best, also the first gf I got was back then.

      "When you drink alcohol, it's broken down and rebuilt into triglycerides and cholesterol in the liver. So, drinking alcohol raises the triglycerides and cholesterol in your blood. If your triglyceride levels become too high, they can build up in the liver, causing fatty liver disease."

    A spoonful of rapeseed oil with every meal. It's a cheap and healthy alternative to olive oil with lots of Omega 3.

      lol olive oil isn't healthy because of it's omega 3's. It's healthy because its lack of Linoleic Acid. Rapeseed contains 3X more PUFA than olive, and less monounsaturated fats. You'd have to be a goddamn fool to purposely eat spoonfuls of garbage oils like that.

    Enjoy dying slowly and painfully from cancer over a few year period, or slowly deteriorating from alzheimers until you are a vegetable in a nursing home.

      The present analyses have been supported by a research grant from the ‘Barilla Center for Food and Nutrition Foundation (BCFN)’ within the framework of a project aimed at an evidence-based reformulation of the Food Pyramid for the prevention of CVD.

      Into the garbage it goes.

      Just a reminder there is no way of knowing which diet or foods are healthy unless:

      - hundreds of sets of identical twins from all different races are locked in a lab from birth to death. Every aspect of their entire lives are controlled and the same, such as sleep length and time, amount of sunlight, amount of stress, amount of sexual activity, amount and type of exercise, with just their diets being different. After weening they have to each eat two different diets for their entire lifespan, with the rest of their lives exactly the same. This study will last 100 years.

      Sorry not possible, so we will never know which diet is better and vegans will be arguing with carnivores forever like the losers they are.

      Unless you can edit your genes and immune system there's not a lot you can do besides get your genes mapped and eat a diet and live a lifestyle as consistent with that as possible. Which may not even be possible because of conflicting genes and food even their basic cultivars have changed so much since these genes proliferated the diet they benefited in may not even exist anymore. Most things beyond that are wishful thinking or clouded with bad information.

      Get more antioxidants in your diet and minimize the oxidant intake. That's the whole deal with sneed oils. Theyre very high in oxidizing fats. I can't remember from the top of my head if 3 or 6 was the oxidizing one. But even without direct intake of sneed oils modern diets have too much of the oxidizing fats and too few anti oxidants. Eat more tomato and tangerines. Also certain fatty fish.
