Everyone SHOULD KNOW THIS! (Autophagy and Heart Disease) 🫀✅ #shorts

Everyone Should Know This About Autophagy and Heart Disease, as aging reduces it, and it lowers your heart's ability to receive enough oxygen.

A 2018 circulation research study showed that cardiac autophagy decreases as we age. So it goes down as we age. And this increases the thickening of the extracellular matrix.

Basically, what that means are scar tissue and extracellular matrix, and that results in endothelial dysfunction.

So means that the internal lining of the blood vessel, which should be very flexible and elastic, becomes dysfunctional and becomes hardened.

And again, that means the blood pressure goes up. And that's also going to affect our ability to get good circulation deep into regions as well.
