This makes metal exposure a critical risk factor for developing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.To view the original scientific study click below:

If you're trying to improve your health by walking more, you may not need to focus only on reaching a certain number of steps. A new study suggests that how quickly you walk may matter just as much. Researchers found that both walking more and picking up the pace were linked to a lower risk of death, including death from cardiovascular disease.
The simple choice between an elevator and a staircase could have implications for long-term health. A new review and meta-analysis found that regularly climbing stairs was linked to improved cardiovascular health and a lower risk of dying prematurely.

Researchers found that while all forms of exercise helped healthy older adults reduce body fat, only high-intensity interval training (HIIT) preserved lean muscle mass.
