How to Keep Your Heart Healthy with This Simple tips
In the time it takes to listen to a song or two on your iPod, you can make one simple change that may save your heart. Just five minutes of easy activity might protect your ticker from the harmful effects of prolonged sitting, a study from Indiana University found.
In the study, men who sat without moving their lower body had a 50 percent decrease in the functioning of an artery in their leg after only one hour. That dip continued the entire time they remained sitting, which was three hours total. And that’s important, because impaired blood vessel functioning is a major risk factor for heart problems.
But when the men took a break every hour for a five-minute walk, they didn’t show any decline in their artery’s functioning during the three hours.

63 year old Kieran Conry, the Bishop of Arundel and Brighton, resigned last week after the estranged husband of one of the women with whom he was said to have had a relationship threatened to sue the church.
The man had hired a private detective to follow his wife.
