Walking to school cuts risk of heart attack later

(IANS) Walking to one's school could reduce the risk of heart attack later in life.
Children who walk down to school have lower stress levels and even smaller rises in blood pressure and heart rate while taking an exam than children who are driven to school.
Changes in heart rate and blood pressure due to stress are linked to heart disease in children and the dangerous build-up of cholesterol, calcium, fat and other substances in artery walls among adults, reports the Daily Express.
Prof. James Roemmich of the University at Buffalo, US, who led the study, said: "If children walked or biked, it would put them in a protective state against causes of stress they face during the school day."

Blood transfusion can raise heart attack risk

Recent studies suggest a blood transfusion during surgery increases the patient's risk of death, particularly from heart attacks or strokes and of serious illnesses, such as pneumonia and cancer of the lymph glands.
The risk, however, is not linked to contaminated blood infecting them with deadly viruses. Instead, scientists are investigating two possible causes, reports the Daily Mail.
One is that donated blood, instead of boosting a sick person's ability to ward off infection, might leave their immune system unable to resist attacks by bacteria and viruses, according to the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.

Calcium supplements taken by many older people could be increasing their risk of a heart attack, research shows.
The study, in the British Medical Journal, said people who took supplements were 30% more likely to have a heart attack.
Data from 11 trials also suggested the medicines were not very effective at preventing bone fractures.
Almost 3m people in the UK are thought to have osteoporosis and many take calcium pills to prevent fractures.

Now say cheers! A peg or two of alcohol after dinner can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and dementia in elderly people, claim scientists.
Research shows that elderly people who take one or two drinks a day have up to 30 percent lower mortality rates than teetotallers. And the best time to enjoy a tipple is after a meal, when it can be absorbed by the food rather than making the drinker feel light-headed.
According to Daily Mail, researchers at the University of Western Australia studied the effects of regular drinking on about 25,000 people over 65.

People who don't feel secure about their relationships may be at a greater risk of suffering from heart attacks and a host of other health problems, a new study has claimed.
Researchers at the Acadia University in Nova Scotia, Canada, found that relationship uncertainties, known as "insecure attachment", are associated with higher risk for a number of health conditions, including stroke, heart attack and high blood pressure.
"The study suggests that attachment is associated with these fairly concrete and negative health outcomes," said lead researcher Lachlan McWilliams.

Tea and coffee can prove good against fighting Heart Diseases.
Enjoy a cup of Coffee or Tea every Morning and Evening ? This might be good for you as it might help to fight against Heart Diseases, a 13-year-long study from the Netherlands has found.
Those who drank more than six cups of tea a day cut their risk of heart disease by a third, the study of 40,000 people found.
Consuming between two to four coffees a day was also linked to a reduced risk.
While the protective effect ceased with more than four cups of coffee a day, even those who drank this much were no more likely to die of any cause, including stroke and cancer, than those who abstained.
