A handful of healthy habits can add up to an 80-percent lower risk of
heart attack for men. A study found that staying away from tobacco
lowered heart disease risk in men by 36 percent. Eating a diet rich in
whole grains, fruits and low-fat dairy was a big bonus too, along with
keeping the waistline under 37 inches and limiting yourself to two
drinks a day. Exercise was a minor factor. Source Link
Banning
electronics from your kid’s bedroom can help them get a good night’s
sleep. Those bright screens and beeping alerts can break a sleep cycle
fast and cost an average of an hour’s shut-eye each night. Experts
suggest that phones and tablets be recharged elsewhere and TV watching
ends at least an hour before bedtime. Source Link
Checking
your closet can help you determine your risk for breast cancer. A study
found that women who go up a skirt size every decade between their 20s
and their 60s may be at increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer.
Skirt size reflects abdominal fat, and some believe that’s an important
factor in cancer risk. Source Link
