Happy Boxing Day from LECC!

Our Gift to You: Five Heart-Healthy Tips for a Healthier Boxing Day

As you celebrate this Boxing Day, the Lagos Executive Cardiovascular Centre is pleased to share practical, evidence-based nutrition strategies to support your cardiovascular health during the festive season, without compromising on enjoyment.

1. Choose Low Glycemic Index Foods: Foods with a low glycemic index stabilize blood sugar, reduce insulin resistance, support weight management, and improve cardiovascular health. For personalized guidance, continuous glucose monitoring (I-SatPro) can help identify your individual responses to different foods.

2. Practice Time-Restricted Eating: Limit eating to a 12-hour window (e.g., 8am-8pm), gradually narrowing to 8-11 hours. This approach lowers glucose and insulin levels, reduces inflammation, and supports weight management, particularly beneficial for those with cravings for sugary foods.

3. Prioritize Natural Fats and Adequate Protein: Avoid low-fat products that often contain hidden sugars. Choose natural fats and protein from nuts, seeds, soy, and fish. Aim for a protein portion approximately the size of a deck of cards per meal.

4. Avoid Processed Foods: Select whole foods with recognizable ingredients. When dining out, skip most condiments, mayonnaise is typically a safer option than sugar-laden sauces.

5. Stop Eating at 80% Fullness: Many people eat beyond satiety due to habit or social cues. Listen to your body’s signals and stop at 80% full. Continue enjoying conversation even after putting down your utensils.

Our comprehensive program includes metabolic testing, personalized meal planning, medical screening, behavioral counseling, and long-term follow-up.

Optimizing Protein Intake for Long-Term Health

The current Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 0.8 g/kg was built from nitrogen-balance studies conducted decades ago on young, sedentary, lean men, not women, not older adults, not athletes, and not people recovering from illness.

This value only reflects the minimum intake needed to avoid deficiency, not to support muscle maintenance, metabolic health, or healthy aging. Modern research consistently shows optimal health markers around 1.6-2.0 g/kg, double the RDA.

Protein needs rise significantly with age due to anabolic resistance, making it harder for older adults to build and maintain muscle. Training increases demand for muscle repair and growth. Illness and injury elevate protein requirements for tissue recovery. Pregnancy and breastfeeding create higher tissue demands to support both mother and baby.

Our evidence-based nutrition program includes:

* Metabolic testing and personalized protein recommendations
* Comprehensive medical screening
* High-protein meal planning for muscle preservation
* Behavioral modification counseling
* Sleep and stress management integration
* Long-term clinical follow-up

Sustainable health outcomes require addressing underlying barriers to dietary adherence through comprehensive, medically supervised care.

Women After 40: Alzheimer’s Prevention Starts Now

By 2035, more than 150 million people will live with Alzheimer’s disease. Two-thirds will be women, up to 40% of cases may be preventable through early attention to hormonal balance, vascular health, and lifestyle medicine.

Declining estrogen reduces the brain’s efficiency in utilizing glucose. This affects neuronal energy, synaptic plasticity, and myelin maintenance. Estrogen regulates mitochondrial function and protects neurons from oxidative stress.

Without it, brain networks especially in memory regions like the hippocampus begin to destabilize.

Research suggests the brain’s responsiveness to estrogen is greatest near menopause, when decline becomes sustained. Thoughtful bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) during this window may support brain energy and long-term cognitive health.

Our Advanced Alzheimer’s Prevention Program includes comprehensive risk assessment, menopause and hormone management, brain-healthy lifestyle programs, sleep and mental health services, and ongoing monitoring.

Muscle Is Not Optional for Longevity. It’s Your Strongest Protection Against Metabolic Decline.

More muscle mass = lower risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, and frailty. Up to 80% of glucose after meals is stored in muscle, making it your body’s primary blood sugar regulator.

Muscle is a living organ that regulates blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, recovery, metabolism, and hormonal balance.

Loss of muscle is the strongest predictor of early death. Not cholesterol. Not blood pressure. Muscle.
It’s not just about looking fit, it’s about staying alive and independent in your 70s, 80s, and beyond.

At LECC, we focus on the systems that protect your heart, including muscle. Our cardiovascular and metabolic health programs include nutrition counseling, exercise guidance, and metabolic testing to help you build and preserve muscle.
