Want
to know if you’re at-risk for sudden cardiac death? Look down and try
to see your toes. Researchers say they now have proof that carrying
extra weight around your waist is an independent risk factor for sudden
cardiac death. Having a pot belly raised the risk of sudden death
regardless of other conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Source Link
Can
technology be put to work to pick up after you? Scientists have
developed a robot that can keep a room neat. The high-tech helper is
programmed to know where things belong in a room and then surveys the
space to see what’s out of place. In testing, the robot was 98%
effective in placing things back where they belong. Source Link
When
it comes to winning the battle of the bulge, it may not be what you
eat, but also when you eat it. Researchers say mice who ate for just
eight hours a day gained less weight than those who could eat the same
amount of food any time. Experts think the liver and intestines may have
times of the day when they work at peak efficiency to limit how many of
those calories end up around your waist. Source Link
