A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association looked at veterans and found that COVID vaccination reduced major cardiovascular events, lots like heart attacks and strokes, that were associated with COVID infection.
Heart attacks were reduced by about 40%, strokes by more than 30%, and cardiovascular deaths by nearly 60%.
The benefits were greatest in older adults and those with underlying health conditions.
They prevent the inflammatory cascade that can trigger heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and other complications.
And this study reminds us that the benefits of vaccination extend beyond avoiding hospitalization.
Researchers found that patients who monitored their blood pressure at home and shared those readings with their physicians had a 34% lower risk of hospitalization or death from heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.
No supplement, no peptide, no expensive biohack, just measuring your blood pressure and acting on the results.
High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it can damage for years before symptoms appear.
A reliable home blood pressure cup may be one of the best investments you can make for your health.
