Numerous studies show that a healthy state of the cardiovascular system has a strong relationship with human food cravings.. Recent studies by Danish scientists show that in addition to diets, there are 4 more important factors on which the health of our heart depends..

Oluf Pedersen, a well-known professor from the University of Copenhagen, believes that the presence of such factors as an unhealthy intestine, addiction to unhealthy foods, nicotine addiction, as well as a dislike for physical exercise can cause a heart attack, heart failure and angina pectoris..

“The presence of all of the above factors can lead to the formation of compounds that negatively affect the microbiome. In the future, this is fraught with the development of multiple non-infectious chronic processes in the human body.. The greatest risk in this case is people with a high genetic risk, ”says Professor.

A Danish study confirms previous findings that changes in the gut microbiome and the presence of chronic heart disease are closely linked.. However, the new work has helped scientists to identify compounds that are produced by a diseased microbiome, and which can subsequently cause dangerous processes that disrupt the heart.. In this case, we are talking about a bacterial compound - trimethylamine, which, after being modified by liver cells, can cause the development of atherosclerosis..

“In the course of scientific work, we found that about half of the bacteria in the intestines and half of the compounds in the blood were caused by drug treatment, but are not the main cause of heart disease.. At the same time, type 2 diabetes, as well as obesity in the early stages, could provoke a violation of the intestinal microbiome, which subsequently became the cause of the development of heart disease, ”the scientists commented..
