Heart and metabolic health is a broad topic that touches on many areas, including vascular function, glucose and lipid metabolism, and body weight. As we age, the heart and vasculature undergo normal decreases in blood vessel plasticity and increases in blood vessel wall thickness. The function of the heart itself also changes, resulting in a decreased efficiency in pumping blood. Normal aging also results in a loss of muscle mass and alterations in numerous metabolic pathways. Weight tends to increase, while metabolic processes such as glucose metabolism decrease. The combination of these normal age related changes can be viewed together as cardiometabolic aging. Nutrition plays an intimate role in maintaining healthy cardiovascular function.*
