Barry Jacobs: Heart Disease

barry jacobs: Regular exercise is a healthy antidote to stress and can help prevent heart disease — the biggest problem is that too many people get too little of it, according to Guelph Mercury. But the new research suggests there may be better or worse times to exercise, and that extremes can trigger harm. "This study is further evidence of the connection between mind and body. A large, international study ties heavy exertion while stressed or mad to a tripled risk of having a heart attack within an hour. When you're angry, that not the time to go out and chop a stack of wood," said Barry Jacobs, a psychologist at the Crozer-Keystone Health System in suburban Philadelphia and an American Heart Association volunteer. Results were published Monday in the Heart Association journal Circulation. He had no role in the study , led by the Population Health Research Institute at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
