Mindsip insights from this episode:
Reduce arginase levels to prevent artery stiffness
An enzyme called arginase, released from red blood cells, gets into your artery lining and reduces nitric oxide, which causes arteries to stiffen.
Focus on activity level of arginase enzyme for healthier vesicles
The key difference between healthy and unhealthy vesicles is not the amount of the harmful arginase enzyme, but its level of activity.
Recognize harmful effects of red blood cells on arteries
In certain unhealthy states, your own red blood cells release packages called extracellular vesicles that contain substances harmful to your arteries.
Address insulin resistance to combat artery damage
This artery-damaging mechanism from red blood cells is primarily a problem for individuals who are insulin resistant or have type 2 diabetes.
Reverse insulin resistance to restore red blood cell health
By addressing insulin resistance through nutrition and exercise, you can potentially revert your red blood cells to a healthier state that is less damaging to your arteries.
