According to a recent study, loneliness, an increased sense of separation from others around us, has been linked to premature death in those living with cardiovascular disease. The research encompassed studies from around the world and sheds new light on the negative health impact of loneliness and those living with cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular disease (or CVD) is an umbrella term for multiple conditions that affect the cardiovascular system. That includes diseases of the heart and blood vessels, such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke, and congenital cardiovascular defects.

CVDs are typically caused by a combination of factors, such as genetic disorders, lifestyle choices, or various environmental conditions. Symptoms can range from shortness of breath to chest pain to fatigue. Diagnosis is made through necessary screenings like echocardiograms or electrocardiograms. Prevention and treatment vary depending on the condition; however, a healthy diet and active lifestyle may result in a lower risk of developing cardiovascular ailments.
The new study published in the journal of Psychosomatic Medicine included previous research that followed people for decades across multiple regions, including Europe, North America, and Asia.
It was found that people with cardiovascular disease with higher levels of loneliness, social isolation, and living alone tend to die prematurely. These effects were noted as being stronger n European countries, perhaps reflecting the large number of those living alone in parts of Europe.
It’s important for people with a history of cardiovascular problems or who are at risk for developing cardiovascular issues to seek out meaningful relationships and engage in activities that bring them together with others in order to protect their overall health and well-being.
Maintaining Heart Health
Heart Rescue was designed to help support and promote cardiovascular health using a variety of ingredients, including omega-3 fatty acids, CoQ10. The omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in cardiovascular function, while CoQ10 is involved in energy production at the cellular level.
These two heart superstars are supported by five other ingredients that can help to promote and support cardiovascular function as you age. This formula’s health benefits can help strengthen the heart muscle, support circulation, and help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Sarah began her interest in nutritional healing at an early age. After going through health problems and becoming frustrated with the conventional ways doctors wanted to treat her illness (which were not working), she took it upon herself to find alternative treatments. This led her to revolutionize her own diet to help her get healthier and tackle her health problems. She began treating her illness by living a more balanced lifestyle through healthy food choices, exercise and other alternative medicine such as meditation. This total positive lifestyle change led her to earn a diploma in Nutritional Therapy from Health Sciences Academy in London, England. Today, Sarah enjoys helping others by teaching healthy lifestyle changes through her personal consultations and with her regular contributions to the Doctors Health Press. Also, passionate about following her dreams in life, Sarah moved to France and lived in Paris for over 5 years where she earned a certification in beadwork and embroidery from Lesage (an atelier owned by Chanel). She then went on to be a familiar face sitting front row and reporting from Paris Fashion Week. Sarah continues to practice some of the cultural ways of life she learned while in Europe. They enjoy their food, and take the time to relax and enjoy many of life’s little moments. These are life lessons she is glad to have brought back home with her.
