A low emulsifier diet (LED) is an effective treatment in mild/moderately active Crohn’s disease (CD)
https://academic.oup.com/ecco-jcc/article/19/Supplement_1/i262/7967009
Emulsifiers are additives in processed foods: health risks for skin, gut and microbiome
https://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/gesundheit/emulgatoren-gesundheitsrisiko-haut-darm-und-mikrobiom,emulgatoren-100.html
Emulsifiers are not essential for nutrition.
"Patienten mit der entzündlichen Darmerkrankung Morbus Crohn konnten den Verlauf der Erkrankung positiv beeinflussen, indem sie auf Lebensmittel mit Emulgatoren verzichteten.
Risiko geschädigter Darmbarriere: Leaky-Gut-Hypothese.
Bisher gewonnene Daten lassen vermuten, dass Emulgatoren mit der Darmbarriere negativ interagieren, es zu Unverträglichkeiten und auch zu Schädigungen des Mikrobioms kommen kann. Nach der sogenannten Leaky-Gut-Hypothese (auf Deutsch etwa: durchlässiger Darm) vermischen sich bestimmte Bakterienspezies miteinander, wenn Emulgatoren auf sie treffen. Das reizt und schwächt die Darmschleimhaut. Schließlich gelangen Stoffe in und durch die Darmwand, die normalerweise nicht hindurchkommen. Das kann Entzündungen, Allergien bis hin zu chronischen Erkrankungen auslösen und befeuern."

Vorhofflimmern ist eine der Hauptursachen für Schlaganfälle, die durch Blutgerinnsel in einer kleinen Ausstülpung des Herzens, dem linken Vorhofohr (LAA), entstehen können-
Blutverdünner sind eine gängige Behandlungsmethode bei Vorhofflimmern. Aufgrund des erhöhten Blutungsrisikos können manche Patienten sie jedoch nicht einnehmen. Eine Alternative ist der Verschluss des linken Vorhofohrs (LAA) mit einem Implantat. Dies wird als linksatriale Okklusion (LAAO) bezeichnet. Die derzeit verfügbaren Implantate reduzieren zwar das Schlaganfallrisiko, können aber kleine Leckagen aufweisen und die Bildung von Blutgerinnseln am oder um das Implantat herum begünstigen. Eines dieser Implantate ist der Watchman-Okkluder – ein metallisches, transkathetergestütztes LAAO-Implantat.

Many people over 90 years old have one thing in common: They love a "post-meal walk" and take a 10-minute walk within about 30 minutes of eating dinner. This gentle exercise helps the body regulate blood sugar levels while also stimulating circulation
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/lifestyle/fitness-wellbeing/article-15615271/doctor-reveals-one-habit-people-live-past-90.html
Viele langlebige Patienten lagern einfach ihre Beine hoch.
Wenn man die Beine etwa 15 Minuten lang über Herzhöhe lagert, kann das Blut in den unteren Extremitäten leichter zurück zu den Nieren fließen.
Dadurch wird der Druck in den Beinvenen verringert und es kann geholfen werden, Stoffwechselabfallprodukte abzutransportieren, die sich im Laufe des Tages ansammeln.

Common anticholinergic medicines may raise cardiovascular risk
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12916-026-04751-w
People who use drugs with anticholinergic effects, drugs for urinary incontinence and common antihistamines, are at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-03-common-anticholinergic-medicines-cardiovascular-large.html
The new study suggests that the drugs may also affect the parasympathetic nervous system and thereby the regulation of the cardiovascular system.
Those with the highest exposure had a 71% higher risk of a cardiovascular event than people who did not use anticholinergic medication at all.
The association was seen for all types of cardiovascular disease but was particularly clear for heart failure and various forms of arrhythmia.

Anzeichen eines Zinkmangels können ein verminderter Geruchssinn, deformierte Nägel, Hautprobleme und eine geschwächte Immunität sein. Zinkpräparate werden gut vertragen, jedoch kann eine langfristige Einnahme zu Kupfermangel führen. Zink wird oft Zink in Kombination mit Vit C und Mg eingenommen.

"Ein weiteres zentrales Eiweiß ist DPP-4. Dieses Enzym baut das Hormon GLP-1 ab. GLP-1 regt die Ausschüttung von Insulin an und spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei modernen Medikamenten gegen Diabetes und Adipositas. DPP-4 blieb bei Hundertjährigen gut erhalten. Indem es GLP-1 abbaut, hält es den Insulinspiegel vergleichsweise niedrig. Das könnte vor Hyperinsulinismus, also dauerhaft erhöhten Insulinwerten, und dem sogenannten metabolischen Syndrom schützen"
