Hey! Don’t feel guilty the next time you fall asleep at work. That mid-afternoon nap could be good for your health, according to the largest study to date on the health effects of napping on over 26,000 Greek men who were followed for six years. Now, according to their findings, a little mid-day snooze seems to reduce risks for fatal heart problems. Those who napped at least three times a week for 30 minutes, they had a 37% lower risk of dying from heart attacks or other heart problems than those who did not nap. A daytime siesta, or nap, is popular in many cultures, especially those in warmer climates. Mediterranean-style eating habits featuring fruit, vegetable, beans and olive oil have been credited with contributing to relatively low rates of heart disease when combined with these naps. Interesting study. For more information, click onto www.MyMedicalReports.com.
