now i saw this study on push-ups in relationship  to the group of people who can do more push-ups  

have less heart disease there was a cohort  study involving over a thousand people and  

they showed a significant negative association  between baseline push-up capacity and incidents  

in cardiovascular disease risk for over 10  years so they compared participants who can do  

40 or more push-ups to people who can only  do 10 or less push-ups now personally i don’t  

think that being able to do more push-ups  will decrease your risk for heart attacks but  

i think people that can do  more push-ups are more fit  

usually they’re more healthy and just as a side  note i’m very curious how many push-ups can you do  

put it in the comments down below i want to read  that and check it out what i am more interested in  

is how much did this study cost and who pays for  these studies because what they should be studying  

which is way more important is the causation of  heart disease since it’s the number one killer  

they should be doing studies in the relationship  between how cardiovascular disease starts it  

starts with inflammation in the inner lining of  your arteries the inflammation develops plaquing  

hardening of the arteries and then it starts  to obstruct blood flow now you also have clots  

that can develop and cause heart attacks which  is slightly different and those clots can break  

off and go right into your brain and give you a  stroke so the question is does push-ups reduce  

inflammation and the answer is i don’t think so  what does increase inflammation is the chronic  

consumption of refined sugar now by the way when  you consume sugar with vitamins the vitamins  

protect against inflammation fyi not that i’m  telling you to do that but the fact is that  

the majority of the population is consuming the  refined sugars they should study diabetics with  

the amount of excess glucose floating through the  inside of their arteries i think refined oils are  

at the top of the list too that’s high in omega-6  highly inflammatory then you have refined flowers  

you have smoking you have stress and the big  one is vitamin e deficiency if you have enough  

vitamin e in your body you can protect against a  lot of problems in the inside of the artery simply  

because vitamin e is one of the most powerful  antioxidants for cardiovascular problems because  

vitamin e protects against oxidation on the  inside of your arteries i mean i could probably  

bet that if you compared people who can do  a lot more pull-ups against the group that  

does a lot less pull-ups they’re probably going  to have less heart disease people that can bike  

longer than people that can’t or people  that can hike longer than people that can’t  

will have a decreased heart risk not because the  exercise itself is just because they probably have  

a healthier lifestyle now if you haven’t seen my  recent video on reversing cardiovascular disease  

i put it down below check it out hey before  you go if you’re benefiting from any of my  

content i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
