Children at risk of heart disease, eating too much salt, study says

Most children in the United States are now at risk for heart disease later in life because of how much salt they eat.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found nearly 90 percent of children take in more salt than what is recommended.A lot of it comes from pizza, cold cuts, processed snacks and soups.Researchers also found boys tend to take in more salt than girls.They suggest feeding your children fresh fruit and vegetables to help lower their salt intake.

Hypochondriacs more likely to develop heart disease, study finds

1/20 'Tiny vampires' existed millions of years ago Scientists have discovered that microscopic 'vampire' amoebae existed hundreds of millions of years ago, and they may have been some of the first predators on Earth.By examining ancient fossils with an electron microscope, paleobiologist Susannah Porter from UC Santa Barbara discovered tiny holes which may have been drilled by vampiric microbes.The tiny creatures are believed to be the ancestors of modern Vampyrellidae amoebae, and punctured holes in their prey before sucking out the contents of their cells Susannah Porter2/20 Kepler 62f An Earth-like planet orbiting a star 1,200 light years away could have conditions suitable for life, say scientists.Kepler 62f is about 40 per cent larger than the Earth and may possess surface oceans.

Health anxiety may increase risk of heart disease, research finds

Health anxiety may increase risk of heart disease, research finds

Fit and healthy people who worry about developing an illness may be increasing their risk of heart disease by unnecessarily fretting over their health, research suggests.A study of more than 7,000 people over 12 years found that those with health anxiety at the start of the study were about 70% more likely to develop heart disease than those without that state of mind.Additionally, the researchers found that the higher the reported anxiety, the higher the risk of heart disease.Anxiety is a known risk factor for heart disease but the Norwegian authors of the paper believe it is the first to look specifically at health anxiety, which is characterised by a persistent preoccupation with having or acquiring a serious illness and seeking medical help, despite the absence of any physical disease.
