In today’s episode, Simon and I discuss health biomarkers and their significance in optimizing our health span. Here are three key takeaways that you won't want to miss:  Understanding Biomarkers: Simon explains that biomarkers are measurable health indicators that can predict chronic disease risks, like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Monitoring them early allows proactive steps to improve health and prevent serious issues, as many chronic diseases develop silently over time.  The Importance of Blood Pressure: One of the most accessible biomarkers is blood pressure. Simon emphasizes that nearly half of the population has suboptimal blood pressure levels, which can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Regularly monitoring your blood pressure at home can empower you to take control of your health and make necessary lifestyle changes.  Dietary Impact on Metabolic Health: We also discuss the critical role of diet in managing biomarkers like ApoB and insulin levels. Simon highlights that saturated fats can negatively impact our lipid profiles, while polyunsaturated fats can help improve them. He encourages listeners to adopt a Mediterranean-style diet, which is rich in healthy fats and has been shown to support heart health.
