Read the full article: Five Steps That Men Can Take to Avert a Heart Attack - NBC News.com:

"Men who take just five healthy steps can reduce their odds of a heart attack by four-fifths, but just 1 percent of men do so on their own, according to new research published Monday. The steps are nothing secret: They are not smoking, drinking moderately, exercising daily, eating a healthy diet and keeping the belly in check."

AHA, ACC Stand Firm in Support of Cardiovascular Risk Calculator

AHA, ACC Stand Firm in Support of Risk Calculator - MedPage Today:

"The dust-up over the new cardiovascular disease prevention guidelines -- already named "Calculator-gate" -- prompted the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology to stage a public defense at a hastily assembled press briefing here.

Although there are four guidelines in the new prevention package it is the assessment of risk -- the so-called risk calculator -- and the recommendation that statins be used as primary prevention that have drawn fire."

FDA Joins Celebration of American Heart Month

Celebrating American Heart Month—Making Heart Healthy Choices in 2013 | FDA Voice:

"Each year, nearly half of all Americans make New Year’s resolutions. They often include losing weight, starting an exercise program, quitting smoking, and making healthier food choices—all of which contribute to a heart-healthy lifestyle. February is American Heart Month, and the timing couldn’t be better to make these lifestyle changes, especially since heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

FDA joins in the commemoration of American Heart Month by highlighting agency initiatives to help Americans reduce their risk of heart disease."

Resveratrol May Replace Aspirin as Heart Protector; Longevinex(R) First Branded Resveratrol Pill Successfully Tested During Experimental Heart Attack - PR Newswire

---  the original post follows below  ---

I was originally disappointed when I first scanned this Medical News Today article, Resveratrol May Replace Aspirin As Heart Protector; Longevinex® First Branded Resveratrol Pill Successfully Tested During Heart Attack.

As a red wine lover, my disappointment turned to joy when I read this:

The amount of resveratrol in 3 to 5 glasses of red wine is only about 3-5 milligrams, but the heart protective effect is believed to be produced by the total polyphenolic molecules in a glass of dark, aged red wine, ~60 milligrams per 5-ounce glass. The optimal health benefit derived from red wine is achieved at a consumption level of 3-5 glasses, which would be considerably more expensive than a resveratrol pill, and certainly pose the problem of inebriation.

In a nutshell, I get to drink red wine to, pardon the pun, to my heart's content!

Series About Wine And Your Heart

I ran across this information packed and thought provoking series about wine and your heart. It consists of 3 parts:

• Part I: More than just Enjoyment!
• Part II: Preventing Heart Attacks
• Part III: To the Heart of the Matter

Ellen Mack, M.D., M.P.H., the author, says:

The first two parts (see Part 1 &Part 2) of the series Wine and your Heart examined some of the vast epidemiological and scientific evidence that moderate consumption of wine is associated with decreased cardiac mortality. Is this information being put to good use?

For me, this all means, drink a little to be healthy. Cheers!

How About A Side Of Acrylamide With Your Fries or Chips?

Updated May 24, 2016  - the original post had tons of broken links.

The FDA has had a long history of monitoring acrylamide in our diet. Acrylamide can be formed in various heat-treated, carbohydrate-rich foods. Particularly high concentrations of acrylamide can be found in potato chips, breakfast cereals, and crisp bread. It's thought that eating food products containing acrylamide might constitute a potential risk to human health. This recent study, Chronic intake of potato chips in humans increases the production of reactive oxygen radicals by leukocytes and increases plasma C-reactive protein: a pilot study suggests that acrylamide from foods may increase the risk of heart disease, reports this Medical News Today article, Study Provides Additional Evidence That Potato Chips Should Be Eaten In Moderation.

I'm not going to stop eating potato chips or fries. And I will try to avoid eating too much of them. Will this information change your diet?

---  the original post follows below  ---

Wine contains a substance called resveratrol. It's reported to offer some health benefits by cleaning blood vessels and to reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke. Dr. Norrie talks about the wine he makes, that contains much more of the substance than most other wines, in this MSNBC News video, "Bottoms up for a healthy heart."

A word of caution, the purported health benefits in people are yet to be definitively proven.
