Blade, I am interested about the effects of caffeine on the endothelium. I had thought, as it seems you do also, that caffeine impaired endothelial function. But I recently came across a study that said drinking green tea boosted endothelial function. So now I wonder.
0-calorie green tea is a nice thing to drink when you are doing intermittent fasting.

Note that pure caffeine had no effect.

What foods damage the endothelium? Ones with cholesterol, animal protein, and saturated fat. And oil. In other words eat plant foods.

Dominant sympathetic types: Typ ‘A’ personalities, disciplined; mostly solid cancers; do good on much plant based foods: fruits, veggies, seeds, grains, nuts, plant based oils: hemp, flax; high vitamin C + D, B1, B2, B3, folates, beta carotene, chromium, 8:1 ratio magnesium to calcium; but do not good on much meat protein, B12, choline, pantothenic acid, zinc, selenium, fish oil.
Parasympathetic types are rather creative with unconventional ‘formal’ education; mostly blood-based cancers; do good on lots of meat and a ketogenic diet, saturated fats or from fish oils, Ca 10-15 ratio to Mg (high magnesium causes depression), Vitamin B12, B5, Choline; not as good on grains or seed. Need zinc & selenium, not good with other large Vitamin B doses.
Mixed or balanced types: no cancer, suffer from allergies and fatigue.

Wait What!!
Really? I won't argue the oil part but I gotta say this makes no sense to me.]
