Stand Up For Your Health -- Physiologists And Microbiologists Find Link Between Sitting And Poor Health##

ScienceDaily () -- Physiologists analyzing obesity, heart disease, and diabetes found that the act of sitting shuts down the circulation of a fat-absorbing enzyme called lipase. They found that standing up engages muscles and promotes the distribution of lipase, which prompts the body to process fat and cholesterol, independent of the amount of time spent exercising. They also found that standing up uses blood glucose and may discourage the development of diabetes.

Heart Attack, or Something Else? -- Cardiologists Use Medical Physics to Pinpoint Cause of Chest Pains#

ScienceDaily () -- Unless a patient with chest pain is checked out right away, it can be difficult to diagnose a heart condition, as opposed to less life-threatening causes such as heartburn. A new stress test can spot signs of a heart attack up to 30 hours later. Cardiologists inject patients with a radioactive fluid, which helps doctors reveal reduced blood flow to the heart using a CT scan.
