    Exercising hard because it brings you joy in your life, outweighs the detriment of worrying about the “risk” of arterial calcification. If I have passion and joy in my life because of what my training and my sport brings me, it’s worth the “associated risk.” The majority of the population do not even come close to the severe training that professional athletes do. The problem with videos like this, is that it gives people the excuse not to workout like they should. I have already heard from family and friends: “I don’t work out as much as you Jon, because of the health risk.” But I’m not an Olympian, or a Podium finisher, or a sponsored athlete. I have a full time job and a family, and I LOVE working out 6-7 days a week, and do it far more than the MET prescription advised here. It’s worth the “associated risk.” I’m happier and healthier for it.

      Cutting out sugar in refined form and eating a variety of anti inflammatory foods with high anti oxidant levels is important. The addition of vitamin D3 combined with vitamin K2 (MK7) is also a good option. I've also read that the systolic blood pressure reading is a measure of how flexible the aortic artery is which in turn is an indicator of the calcification of this large artery. Top notch video.

  • @Openmichunt23
    @Openmichunt23 Před měsícem +38

    I suspect that the diet of most people participating in distance/endurance exercise is contributing to the higher levels of arterial plaque build-up. They're constantly smashing sugar and candy. I get that it goes to fueling the workout, so it's better than sitting on your ass and eating it, but that doesn't mean that it's harmless. So it's interesting to see that exercise is so effective that it can make up for the extra plaque and then some.
    Also, 13kmph running pace is just over 4:30 per km. If you're doing that in zone 2, i demand to know your secrets.

    One analogy I have is the garden hose. If you are slowly watering your garden, everything is ok. The water flow is slow, you take half a hour for the whole garden, but its ok, you are in no rush. But One day you only have 10min to do it, so you up the flow and are rushing around, the hose gets bent, etc. So you learn to keep the hose slighty curved, no fast tugs that bend the corners, etc (soft plaque helps round the corners where pressure is high and is damaging the arteries). When your garden is so big that you need an even bigger flow, then you start to use a firefighter hose, very reinforced to allow huge amounts of water to get through fast. That hose is more rigid, reinforced in certain places even (hard plaque in the arteries, avoids ruptures).

    I would be cautious to say it increases risk of cardiovascular events/death. Thats a jump, hard outcomes havent been measured. A clear protective factor would be having larger coronary artery diameter in those who exercise. So you may have more calcification from oxidative stress, some narrowing, but a bigger artery lumen to begin with. It highlights the importance of hard outcomes - CVD events/deaths.

  • @robertdaymouse3784
    @robertdaymouse3784 Před 17 dny

    Good Analysis. CAC tests are useful at identifying people in the top 5% of risk, but not useful otherwise because people that exercise a lot calcify their plaques at a much higher rate. CTA tests are better but don't yet detect soft plaques until they encroach on the lumen, maybe that will change in the future. CIMT is probably the best current lab test, but it is limited to just the carotid arteries. Ideally there would a functional test to estimate blood flow restriction, there exists a thing called a 'stress test', but that is not really stressful enough to be useful (Tim Russert) . A more strenuous test is required, but a sufficiently strenuous test would end up killing some of those most at risk, so that will probably never happen, lol. I would suggest if you are 60+ and can run a mile in under 7 minutes, you are at low risk of a heart attack even if you have a high CAC score.

    I really don't see how anyone can do high intensity exercise for 250 minutes per week. A serious deadlift is something I can do maybe once a week and it costs maybe 20 seconds. Warmup is not high intensity. I can sprint for 30 seconds, maybe a few times per day, maybe this could sum up to one hour per week, but then I really doubt that this is high intensity. My point is, if you don't stop due to fatigue after less then a minute of exercise, it is not high intensity.

    If we look at the U.S. population from the 1800’s up to the 1960’s there was a very low incidence of cancer, CVD and diabetes even though very few people did any systematic exercise. The dramatic increase in these adverse conditions is almost all due to the greatly increased consumption of seed (so called vegetable) oils with the increase in carbohydrate consumption in conjunction with a reduction of saturated fats and animal protein. Exercising the amount recommended by Siim is unnecessary. People will inevitably decline physically as they age and so running and doing heavy work outs three times a week will get tedious and probably counter productive.

    I have been riding my bicycle ~300 minutes a week (~3000 MET minutes/week ) for over 30 years and wonder if my elevated blood pressure (135/80) from no apparent reason and take high blood pressure medication for could be from calcification of my arteries from exercise.

    Very interesting content! I have read about the theory that vigorous endurance training leads to a massive calorie expenditure. Runners can eat a lot, and apparently tend to eat a lot of saturated fat and salty foods on the way. Many think they can eat anything because the needle on the scale isn't moving. But they get most of the detrimental effects of the unhealthy nutrition anyways such as inflammation and plaque. It seemed like you'll need to double down as an endurance athlete to balance your massive energy expenditure with healthy foods such as nuts and whole grains. Not sure if this theory might contribute to an explanation for the plaques in athletes vessels.

      Most of the physically active people I've known eat lots of carbs, not saturated fat. In general, most Americans get more omega-6s from seed oils (inflammatory, oxidative, mutagenic) than from saturated fat. That is because seed oils became the main fatty acid source in the American diet starting back in the 1930s. During that same period, carb and sugar intake went through the roof.

    Imagine you're a hinge.

    Overexercised, you experience brittle fracture from work.
    Now imagine exercising, exhausting massive resources, building up waste products, etc. It's like trying to run a rental car empty by goosing the shit out of it.
    Moderation is the key and lubrication.

    Too much volume, too many miles at high intensity CAN be a problem for some. Walk a lot and if you do high intensity work, do it minimally. That's all you need, but if you want to achieve peak aerobic fitness or win a marathon or a triathlon, then you have to exceed these levels, which is fine in your youth, but the people who've had heart attacks are the psychopaths who never modulate their training and keep thinking they can crush it forever.

    Serrapeptase eliminates vascular inflammation, or so it has been claimed.
    5. Conclusions
    In conclusion, our work demonstrates that SRP can attenuate the elevated inflammatory biomarkers (MCP-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, and TNF-α), the production of MDA, ROS intensity, CATx, and GSH impact in the setting of LPS-induced vascular inflammation. SRP inhibits inflammation and oxidative stress through the endothelium MCP-1. We concluded that SRP has the ability to modulate vascular inflammation. Further studies will be required to explore the detailed mechanisms of the cardio-protective effects produced by SRP. These results suggest that serratiopeptidase may be a therapeutic agent for vascular inflammation in cardiovascular diseases.

    • @JD-tc7mc
      @JD-tc7mc Před měsícem +1

      Unless your weight lighting causes no heart rate increase or any other input to your body then yes you'd include the rest times! The MET idea is just an average, realistically if you go very intense and heavy load / volume one week you'd have higher MET than a deload week etc its just used in this context as something to understand how much MET per week you'd need.

    But I have a problem, if I jog lightly my heart rate reaches 170 beats. I really want to jog lightly, but my body doesn't allow it...
    I dont know if that is a issue I will experiment the first months or its my body...
    What was your progression in training at zone 2? (If you can make a video several people will be grateful, you can notice Im not the only asking this).

    they are just lucky genetically
    but when tested for cardio, someone will say its the exercise they do lol

As a baseline having a natural food diet, enough sleep, some mental stress but not too much, some high intensity exercise but primarily moderate and lift weights three times a week. The rest is the environment and your DNA lottery.
