Canadian Institutes: Drug Companies and Research

canadian institutes: 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 Hamilton Spectator. But the new research led by the Population Health Research Institute at McMaster University suggests there may be better or worse times to exercise, and that extremes can trigger harm. A study ties heavy exertion while stressed or mad to a tripled risk of having a heart attack within an hour. The study, which was published Monday in the Heart Association journal Circulation, was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, other governmental bodies from various countries that participated, and grants from several drug companies. Earlier studies have looked at anger and exertion as heart attack triggers, but most were small or in one country, or included few women or minorities. Barry Jacobs, a psychologist at the Crozer-Keystone Health System in suburban Philadelphia and an American Heart Association volunteer, said the study is further evidence of the connection between mind and body. "When you're angry, that not the time to go out and chop a stack of wood," said Jacobs, who was not involved in the study. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
