 Stay Active or Grow Old
People who are physically active in their free time may be biologically younger than those who live sedentary lifestyles, a recent British study suggests. Researchers looked at the physical activity levels, smoking habits and socioeconomic status of 2,400 white twins. DNA samples were collected from participants in order to examine length of telomeres-repeated sequences at the end of chromosomes in white blood cells - which serves as a possible marker of a person's biological age. Study participants had an average telomere loss of 21 nucleotides per year. But those who were more active in their leisure time had longer leukocyte telomeres than those who were less active.

 Cell Phones Linked to Insomnia and Headaches
Talking on your cell phone before going to bed could interfere with getting a good night's sleep, a recent study suggests. Carried out by Sweden's Karolinska Institute and Wayne State University in the US, the study suggests radiation from the handset can cause insomnia, headaches, and confusion. Scientists studied 35 men and 36 women between the ages of 18 and 45 who were exposed to radiation equivalent to that received when using a mobile phone. Others were placed in the same conditions, but given only false exposure. Those exposed to radiation took longer to enter the first of the deeper stages of sleep, and spent less time in the deepest one. (Read more about Cell Phones Linked to Insomnia and Headaches)

 How Can We Prevent Heart Disease?
Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the rise of cardiovascular disease in the developing world, where the percentage of people who die from heart disease has reached the same levels as in the industrialized countries.
In the developed world it is common medical practice to prescribe 3 drugs to treat coronary related health problems, statins, ACE-inhibitors and aspirin. The average cost per day for this treatment is $2 to $2.50 a day. While this is an acceptable cost in the industrialized world it is unaffordable to the majority of people in poorer countries, where cardiac disease has become a leading killer. Also, the age of death for these cardiac patients is at a younger age than in industrialized nations due to lack of treatment. (Read more about How Can We Prevent Heart Disease?)
