Mindsip insights from this episode:
Boost cell antioxidants through fat metabolism
Fat metabolism is protective for artery-lining cells because it produces citrate, which ultimately helps recharge the potent cellular antioxidant glutathione to fight damaging reactive oxygen species.
Utilize acetate to fuel protective fat metabolism despite impairments
The short-chain fat acetate can diffuse across the mitochondrial membrane without needing the CPT1 protein, providing a way to fuel protective fat metabolism even when it's impaired.
Prioritize fat for energy to support healthy artery cells
Healthy, quiescent endothelial cells that line your arteries prefer to use fat for energy, whereas stressed, proliferating cells switch to using sugar.
Improve fat metabolism to reduce cardiovascular risk
When fat metabolism is blocked in endothelial cells, they produce more of a protein called PAI-1, which inhibits the breakdown of blood clots and increases cardiovascular risk.
Boost acetate levels with fiber and vinegar-rich foods
You can increase your body's levels of the beneficial short-chain fat acetate by consuming dietary fiber from sources like legumes and whole grains, as well as vinegar-based foods and fermented tea.
