This week's dispatch

And the (heart)beat goes on…

We know supplements can reduce inflammation, boost strength training, and strengthen your immune system. But did you also know that the right stack can also protect you from heart failure?

Dr. Dmitry Yaranov, the director of the advanced heart failure program at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, told BI senior reporter Julia Pugachevsky that he takes three supplements to reduce his risk.

Here's what's in his medicine cabinet:

1. Omega-3: Yaranov said he takes this supplement because he's "not getting enough fresh, fatty fish in my diet." Pugachevsky notes that taking omega-3 "helps to support healthy blood cells, reducing the risk of blood clots" and can reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
2. Magnesium: Pugachevsky said that this supplement, typically found in black beans and spinach, "supports heart, bone, brain, and muscle health" and helps with controlling blood pressure.
3. Vitamin D: Yaranov said he spends "a long time indoors," which contributes to his lower levels of this essential vitamin, so he started supplementing it. Research shows that Vitamin D is also associated with a lower risk of heart disease in adults over the age of 60.

Skip the jet lag

Jet lag, which can cause brain fog, fatigue, and digestive issues, could derail your entire travel experience. It happens when your local time zone is misaligned with your internal clocks.

People who fly regularly — from pro athletes to CEOs — told BI how they beat jet lag, including the supplements they take and the adjustments they make before traveling.

From diet changes to light therapy.

The ultimate finance bro flex

In the realm of posh sports, not much ranks higher than golf, and its elitist nature often manifests in fashion. Donning a logoed golf polo from the course you play has become a subtle status symbol among Wall Street golf bros.

Many men described the logoed gear to BI's Emily Stewart as a "head nod," but there's a hierarchy associated with it, too. Just don't get caught wearing a golf polo from a course you've never played.

If you know, you know.

A class dedicated to boosting your VO2 max

VO2 max has become the latest fitness craze that measures cardiovascular fitness among runners, fitness competition bros, and more. People are obsessed with the metric because it's said to be a strong predictor of longevity. A high VO2 max is also linked to a longer life and a reduced risk of certain health conditions.

So when London's GymBox came out with a new VO2:MAXED cardio class, BI's Kim Schewitz, who said she doesn't do cardio, tried it out. She found out her VO2 score was low.

But it made cardio fun for her.

Five-star faux pas

BI's travel reporter Joey Hadden has stayed at 10 five-star hotels across the Americas and Europe. She shared six mistakes she's made during these swanky stays, so you won't have to.

For instance, Hadden learned you should always pack a swimsuit, but you won't need to bring toiletries. Plus, turndown service is a must — you never know what treats you'll get.

She recommends booking more than one night.
