Brief anger can temporarily impair blood vessel function, potentially heightening heart disease and stroke risks, finds new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

• When adults became angry after remembering past experiences, the function of cells lining the blood vessels was negatively impaired, which may restrict blood flow. Previous research has found that this may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

• In this study, episodes of anxiety and sadness did not trigger the same change in functioning of the blood vessel lining.

Tech’s Double Edge: Job Killer or Creator?

Economists used new methods to examine how many U.S. jobs have been lost to machine automation, and how many have been created as technology leads to new tasks. On net, and particularly since 1980, technology has replaced more U.S. jobs than it has generated.

Combing through 35,000 job categories in U.S. census data, economists found a new way to quantify technology’s effects on job loss and creation.

Others believe it will ward off disease by boosting immunity, improving brain health, or regulating metabolism.

Once a start-up’s financial needs exceed what personal funds, friends and family, and bootstrapping can provide, debt and equity are the two most common sources of funds. The most important thing an entrepreneur must do at this point is determine precisely what the company needs and the most appropriate source to use to obtain those funds. A carefully planned approach to raising money increases a firm’s chance of success and can save an entrepreneur considerable time.

Having fewer choices can promote happiness

  2 weeks ago (Tue, Apr 16, 2024 at 03:34 PM)

A comedian used to joke that his mother's menu consisted of two choices: "Take it or leave it."

Though it may sound counterintuitive, having fewer choices can promote happiness. This is because the more options you have, the more opportunities you have to regret the choice you've made. Do you wish you'd chosen a different cellphone? Would you have been better off with a different financial investment or Medicare drug plan option? The more choices there are, the smaller the percentage that seems to be "right."

Simply making choices can be exhausting. In a University of Minnesota study pub...   Continue reading ››







Inhale at Your Own Risk: Even Brief Secondhand Smoke Exposure Increases Risk of Dangerous Heart Rhythm Disorder

  3 weeks ago (Sun, Apr 14, 2024 at 12:41 PM)

New research indicates that even minimal exposure to secondhand smoke increases the risk of atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm disorder. The study, involving over 400,000 adults from the UK Biobank, found a progressive increase in risk with longer exposure durations, regardless of the environment. The findings underscore the universal health risks posed by passive smoking and support the need for stricter public smoking bans to protect public health.

According to research presented at EHRA 2024, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), even minimal exposure...   Continue reading ››

When it comes to their diet, men often keep coming back to old favorites. They find a few foods they enjoy and rotate them through their daily meals.

"There is nothing necessarily wrong with that as long as their diet includes plenty of whole foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, and avoids high amounts of processed foods," says Eric Rimm, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "But men also should be more mindful about reading food labels when selecting their f...   Continue reading ››

Typically, the seed money that gets a company off the ground comes from the founders’ own pockets. There are three categories of sources of money in this area: personal funds, friends and family, and bootstrapping.

1. Personal Funds The vast majority of founders contribute personal funds along with sweat equity to their ventures. In fact, the results of a Kauffman Foundation survey of nearly 5,000 new business owners indicate that just 10 percent of those surveyed used external sources of funds their first year of operation.
