We investigated how long-term exposure to urban air pollution affects the recovery from ischemic stroke in mice. Our findings showed that breathing in fine particulate matter increases neuroinflammation and cardiac injury, leading to higher mortality rates after a stroke.
Interestingly, incorporating a vitamin E-rich diet helped reduce cardiac damage and lung inflammation caused by this exposure. We saw a noteworthy improvement in survival rates among mice with ischemic strokes who received the vitamin E, highlighting its potential protective effects against the dangers of urban air pollution.

Vitamin E intake and heart health
We investigated how dietary vitamin E intake relates to cardiovascular disease and mortality using data from over 39,000 participants in the NHANES study from 2003 to 2018.
Our findings showed that people with higher vitamin E consumption had a significantly lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and reduced all-cause mortality.
Specifically, those consuming more than 9.86 mg of vitamin E were associated with a 43% lower odds of cardiovascular issues compared to those with lower intakes. Yet, results for cardiovascular-related deaths showed less certainty.
This suggests that including vitamin E-rich foods in our diets could have positive effects on heart health and longevity.

We examined various studies comparing tocotrienol and tocopherol, types of vitamin E, in managing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. After reviewing 516 articles, we found that tocotrienol significantly reduced cholesterol and inflammatory markers, showing promising benefits for heart health. In contrast, tocopherol presented mixed results, sometimes increasing mortality risk. This suggests that tocotrienol may be a safer and more effective choice for improving cardiovascular health.

Vitamin E prolongs youth and beauty as it contains multiple tocopherols, with α-tocopherol being the most active. This powerful antioxidant stabilises cell membranes and interacts with vitamin C. Supplementing with tocopherols, such as those from NOW Foods, helps maintain health and appearance while preventing cardiovascular disease.

Antioxidants reduce CVD mortality risk
We investigated the connection between dietary antioxidants, including vitamin E, and mortality risks in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). In our research with 1,395 participants, we found that higher levels of antioxidants were linked to decreased all-cause and cardiovascular-cause deaths.
Specifically, vitamins like C and E showed beneficial effects. This suggests that boosting our antioxidant intake could be a helpful strategy for improving health outcomes in those with CVD.

Higher vitamin E linked to decreased mortality
In this extensive study of over 16,000 adults with hypertension, we found that higher dietary antioxidant intake, including vitamin E, is linked to a reduced risk of deaths from all causes and specifically from cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Over about seven years of following participants, those with the highest levels of vitamin E intake showed a lower likelihood of CVD mortality compared to those with lower intakes.
While these findings are promising, further research is still needed to solidify these conclusions.

All tocopherols are antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and promote heart health. Vitamin E can support immune function and eye health. However, excessive intake may lead to blood thinning and affect clotting, so I recommend taking breaks every few days.

We explored how certain antioxidants, especially vitamin E (α-tocopherol), relate to cardiovascular disease risk using a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach.
Surprisingly, our findings suggest that higher levels of α-tocopherol might be associated with an increased risk of serious heart conditions like myocardial infarction and arrhythmias.
Similarly, retinol was linked to greater risks for cardiomyopathy and heart failure. This challenges the common perception of antioxidants as solely beneficial, indicating that some may actually pose health risks.
More research is needed to fully understand these relationships and their implications for our dietary choices.
