According to a new study, exercise not only reduces stress levels and increases happiness levels, it also strengthens the efficiency of our brain's neurons.

It's as if exercise lubricates the brain -- and encourages new ideas and helps us understand things better.

And, because neurons are pretty much the biggest thing that makes us human, exercise ends up helping us with everything important, including our emotions, our thoughts, our body movements and actions.

These scientists are just going to have to STOP with research that requires me to give up my remote and get off my comfy couch!!!!!!!!!!

According to a new study released yesterday, men and women have different symptoms during a heart attack.

The study was conducted by The Journal of the American Medical Association and is particularly noteworthy, since heart attacks are the number-one killer of woman because often the signs go unnoticed. The study of more than a million patients hospitalized after suffering heart attacks revealed that women were more likely than men to have a heart attack without experiencing the chest pain. The study also found that women have a higher mortality rate than men suffering heart attacks, and the margin is even greater for women under age 55 who didn't experience chest pain.
