Why ‘Life's Essential 8' is the ‘roadmap' to living longer — and being healthier into old age
Cardiovascular disease doesn't just break hearts — it stops them. The nation's top killer claimed one in five American deaths in 2022, but experts say a few smart moves could keep your name off that list. 'Adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s seeking a roadmap for cardiovascular health are encouraged to look at the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8,' Dr. Matthew Tomey, a cardiologist at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital, told The Post. Advertisement 7 Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Reese Coop/ – But no matter your age, the path to a stronger heart is still wide open. 'Today is the day that you can get on track,' Tomey said. 'Even if you have a genetic predisposition to cardiovascular disease that runs in your family, your choices still matter!' These are the eight essential steps to keep your ticker in top shape so that you can live a longer and healthier life. Advertisement #1: Improve your diet 'The more plants the better,' Dr. Sanjai Sinha, an internist at The Health Center at Hudson Yards, told The Post. 'The Mediterranean diet is the most effective diet with the best data.' That diet, shaped by the eating habits of 21 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, focuses on nutrient-packed whole grains, fresh produce, legumes, nuts, lean proteins like chicken and fish, and plenty of antioxidant-rich olive oil. The science backs it up: A 2023 analysis out of the University of Sydney found that women who followed the Mediterranean diet cut their risk of heart disease and early death by nearly 25%. Advertisement Other research suggests it lowers key risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure. 7 Certain foods can raise your cholesterol levels, blood pressure and contribute to inflammation. Monstar Studio – #2: Get moving 'The data behind exercise in reducing inflammation, metabolic and cardiovascular risk, cancer, and dementia are all strong,' Sinha said. In fact, research suggests that a sedentary lifestyle increases your risk for heart disease and stroke to levels on par with cigarette smoking. Advertisement Despite this, government data shows that only 28% of Americans are meeting the CDC's physical activity guidlines. 7 Even small amounts of exercise can give your heart health a major boost. bongkarn – The agency recommends that US adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise a week, plus two days of muscle-strengthening activities. 'Even if you can't 'exercise', movement regularly, including at least 5 minutes out of every 30 you're sitting in front of a screen, is crucial,' Sinha said. #3: Quit tobacco Tobacco use is trending down, but as of 2022, nearly 29 million Americans were still smoking cigarettes. The CDC estimates that smoking is to blame for 1 in 4 deaths rom cardiovascular disease — amounting to 140,000 lives lost each year to heart-related illness tied directly to cigarettes. 7 Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for heart disease. emiphoto111 – Advertisement Studies show that smoking blood vessels, promotes dangerous plaque buildup in the arteries, reduces oxygen flow to vital organs, and drives up blood pressure, heart rate and clot risk. And it's not just smokers at risk — secondhand smoke exposure also increases the odds of major health problems like heart attack and stroke. #4: Get enough sleep Most adults need 7 to 9 hours of shut-eye a night to stay sharp and protect their health. Advertisement But about a third of U.S. adults — and a staggering three-quarters of high schoolers — aren't getting enough sleep, according to the CDC. That can give your heart a big beating. 7 Not getting enough sleep will do more than leave you feeling groggy in the morning. Getty Images/iStockphoto Too little sleep can trigger a fight-or-flight response in the body, driving up heart rate and blood pressure. It also fuels inflammation and messes with hormones — both of which can raise your risk of cardiovascular disease. Advertisement 'See a doctor if you're having trouble getting to or staying asleep,' Sinha told The Post. It could be a sign that you have a sleep disorder, which can also negatively impact your heart health. #5: Manage your weight More than 2 in 5 US adults are living with obesity, along with 1 in 5 children and adolescents, according to the CDC. And it's not just a cosmetic concern. Excess weight puts a major strain on the heart, potentially leading to high blood pressure, plaque buildup, irregular heartbeat and other problems that can damage both the muscle and blood vessels. 7 Obesity rates have been steadily rising in the US in recent decades. Prostock-studio – Advertisement 'You will gain weight, and gain fat more than muscle, if you don't focus on eating well and exercising while you're in your forties and older,' Sinha warned. But too little weight isn't great for your heart either. The American Heart Association (AHA) considers a healthy BMI to be under 25 — and anything under 18.5 to be underweight. #6, 7 and 8: Control your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels High cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar are silent killers — and all three are major drivers of heart disease. 7 Simple interventions, like high blood pressure medication, can make a big difference when it comes to your heart health. Natee Meepian – Left unchecked, they can damage the arteries that supply blood to your heart and brain, weaken the heart muscle and lead to deadly consequences. 'The key about these last 3 is that you have to get to your primary care doctor regularly to know what these numbers are,' Sinha said. And no, that doesn't mean urgent care. Unlike the first five lifestyle changes in the AHA's 'Life's Essential 8,' Sinha noted that these three risk factors can often be addressed quickly with medication while you work on long-term fixes. 'These 3 factors, when uncontrolled, will lead to a shortened lifespan through increased risk for diabetes, heart attacks and strokes,' he said. 'They will also play a role in increasing your risk for cancer,' Sinha added.

Wyatt Hendrickson, who stunned Olympic champ Gable Steveson, signs with Real American Freestyle
Wyatt Hendrickson, who stunned Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson to win the 285-pound national title at the NCAA Division I wrestling championships in March, has signed with Real American Freestyle. Hendrickson joins the company after claiming the Hodge Trophy for Oklahoma State as the nation's top men's college wrestler. Hendrickson's victory over Minnesota's Steveson, an Olympic gold medalist in Tokyo, drew national attention beyond the sport. His dramatic late takedown in the final gave him the 5-4 win and closed out a 27-0 season. It was the only time Steveson was taken down all season, and it ended his win streak at 70 matches. Real American Freestyle commissioner Hulk Hogan told The Associated Press when the company launched in April that Hendrickson, an Air Force second lieutenant, was 'on the radar.' The company announced the signing on Wednesday. 'Wyatt Hendrickson right now is the sport of wrestling, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome him to the Real American Freestyle team after what was truly a historic win and unbelievable season,' Hogan said in a statement. Kennedy Blades, an American who earned a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, will be the face of the company's women's division. American Olympic medalists Kyle Snyder, Kyle Dake and Aaron Brooks are the biggest names to have signed on the men's side. Snyder earned gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics and silver in Tokyo. Dake is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist. Brooks, a four-time national champion at Penn State, was a bronze medalist in Paris. ___

French Open 2025: Coco Gauff Beats Madison Keys To Reach Semifinals
Paris, France - June 4: Coco Gauff of United States celebrates winning match point against Madison ... More Keys of United States in the Women's Singles Quarter Final match on Day Eleven of the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros on June 04, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Tnani Badreddine/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty Images) American tennis star Coco Gauff reached the French Open semifinals for a second year in a row after beating compatriot Madison Keys 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-1 in Wednesday's clash on the Parisian red clay. Gauff, the second seed at the 2025 French Open, fought back after missing a set point in the opener to beat seventh seed Madison Keys in two hours and 11 minutes. The 21-year-old will face France's Lois Boisson for a place in Sunday's final. With Wednesday's victory in the all-American quarterfinal, Gauff, the 2022 French Open runner-up, has reached her fifth Grand Slam semifinal overall, of which three have come on the Parisian clay. She is the youngest woman to claim 25 main-draw wins at Roland Garros since Martina Hingis (1995-2000). Play at Court Philippe-Chatrier began with the roof closed, prompting Gauff to lower her racquet tension in anticipation of slower conditions. But the youngster leaked 11 unforced errors in the first five games to go behind a 4-1 double break. "I changed [the tension] at 4-1, and after that I had chances to win the first set," Gauff said in an on-court interview. "It's difficult to find the tension and how you want to play ... I thought with the roof closed it would play slower, which it did in some moments, but I felt it was quick too. Also, I was playing Madison, so I don't know if that was the reason why!" In the second set, Gauff was leading 4-1 with a double break before Keys registered a three-game run to level things at 4-4. However, at that point, Gauff pulled off her best shot of the match -- an angled backhand pass off a Keys smash -- paving the way to break again. From thereon, she went on to win eight of the next nine games, out-foxing Keys with drop shots. While Gauff tightened up her game in the deciding set, it was a scrappy affair between the two players, as Keys tallied 25 winners to 60 unforced errors, while Gauff found 15 winners to 41 unforced errors (including 10 double faults). "I'm happy to get through this match today, I have a lot more work to do, I'll be ready tomorrow," Gauff said after the match. Gauff's victory over this year's Australian Open winner, Keys, also ended her 11-match winning streak at major tournaments. When she faces Frenchwoman Boisson in the last four, Gauff will be looking to improve on her result from last year, when she lost to Iga Swiatek in the semifinals. The second 2025 French Open semifinal will be between top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and four-time French Open champion Swiatek.
