Heart Health at a Cellular Level: What Most People Don't Know

Cardiovascular disease has become one of Asia's most pressing health challenges. A study found that the region accounted for 61.3% of global cardiovascular mortality, with a disease burden 8.3% higher than the global average. In Malaysia, cardiovascular disease has also been reported as one of the leading causes of death, accounting for more than 15% of mortality among Malaysians [1] . Although cardiovascular disease death rates have fallen over time, the overall burden continues to grow amid ageing populations and changing lifestyles. The figures highlight the importance of looking after cardiovascular health, particularly as healthcare becomes more expensive and medical cost inflation in Malaysia reaches an all-time high [2] .

Lower Your Biological Age, One Habit at a Time

Why can one person in their sixties still run marathons while someone in their fifties struggles to climb the stairs? Genetics may play a role, but researchers studying longevity are increasingly looking beyond the number of candles on a birthday cake. Instead, attention is shifting towards functional or biological age, which looks at how the body and mind perform regardless of a person's actual age. In conjunction with Healthy Ageing Month, Dr Vipada Sae-Lao, Nutrition Education and Training Lead, Asia Pacific, Herbalife , shares how everyday choices can influence biological age and help people stay healthier for longer. “Biological or functional age reflects the body on the inside, or the way organs, tissues, and processes work, linked to metabolism, inflammation, and cellular repair. Evidence increasingly shows that our biological age can be significantly far from our actual age, in either direction, shaped by the choices we make in the years before,” said Dr Sae-Lao...
