Why might abstaining from sex not be the best idea for cardiovascular health? The opposite may actually be true. See my recent video Do Men Who Have More Sex Live Longer? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-men-who-have-more-sex-live-longer).

DESCRIPTION: Farmed Atlantic salmon, the kind of salmon most commonly found in restaurants and supermarkets, may be the single largest source of toxic dietary pollutants.
If you missed the first two videos in this three part series, I reviewed the existing links between seafood and diabetes risk in Fish and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fish-and-diabetes) and explored this concept of our own body fat as a reservoir for disease-causing pollutants in Diabetes and Dioxins (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diabetes-and-dioxins).
More on hexachlorobenzene in my video Food Sources of Perfluorochemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-perfluorochemicals/).
Our body has a tougher time getting rid of some toxins than others:
• How Fast Can Children Detoxify from PCBs? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-fast-can-children-detoxify-from-pcbs)
• How Long to Detox From Fish Before Pregnancy? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-long-to-detox-from-fish-before-pregnancy/)
• The Wrong Way to Detox (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-wrong-way-to-detox/)
The best way to detox is to stop toxing in the first place.

DESCRIPTION: Plant-based diets appear to protect against metabolic syndrome, also known as syndrome X, which is characterized by the so-called "deadly quartet," abdominal obesity, high fasting sugars, high triglycerides, and high blood pressure. We see this same step-wise progression towards lower disease risk the more plant-based one's diet gets with high blood pressure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/), cataracts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-cataracts-with-diet/), diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/), and obesity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/thousands-of-vegans-studied/). So it's not all or nothing-- just adding more healthy plant foods to crowd out some of the animal and junk foods in the diet can offer significant protection. It does appear, though, that to maximize one's benefits one has to move towards maximizing the proportion of plants in the diet.
