According to researchers, keeping the faith may keep women living longer. A new study shows older females who regularly attend religious services reduce their risk of death by 20 percent compared to those who don't attend services. Scientists grouped all religions together, looking at whether the women attended services and whether those services brought them comfort.
A bad boss may be bad for the heart. A new study finds people who think they have unfair or incompetent managers are at greater risk for heart attacks. Researchers found the stress adds up, increasing risk of heart problems over time.
New findings suggest eating fish at least twice a week may reduce the occurrence of kidney disease in diabetics. The study shows fish consumption lowers abnormal levels of protein in the urine of diabetes patients. Diabetes affects nearly 24 million Americans and is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease.
