    Study: Heart Attack May Be Closer Than You Think

    Forget what your doctor told you about your risk of heart attack.

    For Back Pain, Try A Kettlebell Workout

    Kettlebells, known as “girya” in their native Russia, are basically cannonballs with handles attached to them, and they’ve been used as long as anyone can remember to train Russian athletes. Now researchers in Denmark have found something else they’re good for: pumping up core muscles so well that back pain is significantly reduced. The New York Times reports on the Danish study, in which 40 middle-aged women with back and shoulder pain were randomly assigned to one of two groups. [...]

In fact, it can be worse than no training at all. Kolata quotes William Kraemer, a professor of kinesiology at the University of Connecticut, explaining that “People think a good workout is, ‘I am in a pile of sweat and puking.” Wrong.

    When Not To Take That Daily Aspirin

    Common wisdom, rarely discouraged by aspirin manufacturers, holds that an aspirin a day keeps heart trouble away. Yet now comes a study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, suggesting that for some people without heart problems, an aspirin a day can do more harm than good. The Washington Post reports that the new research analyzed data from nine studies, involving 102,621 adults (average age, 57) who had been randomly assigned to take aspirin, generally 100 milligrams or less, or [...]
