Read the full article: Five Steps That Men Can Take to Avert a Heart Attack - NBC News.com:

"Men who take just five healthy steps can reduce their odds of a heart attack by four-fifths, but just 1 percent of men do so on their own, according to new research published Monday. The steps are nothing secret: They are not smoking, drinking moderately, exercising daily, eating a healthy diet and keeping the belly in check."

Resveratrol May Replace Aspirin as Heart Protector; Longevinex(R) First Branded Resveratrol Pill Successfully Tested During Experimental Heart Attack - PR Newswire

---  the original post follows below  ---

I was originally disappointed when I first scanned this Medical News Today article, Resveratrol May Replace Aspirin As Heart Protector; Longevinex® First Branded Resveratrol Pill Successfully Tested During Heart Attack.

As a red wine lover, my disappointment turned to joy when I read this:

The amount of resveratrol in 3 to 5 glasses of red wine is only about 3-5 milligrams, but the heart protective effect is believed to be produced by the total polyphenolic molecules in a glass of dark, aged red wine, ~60 milligrams per 5-ounce glass. The optimal health benefit derived from red wine is achieved at a consumption level of 3-5 glasses, which would be considerably more expensive than a resveratrol pill, and certainly pose the problem of inebriation.

In a nutshell, I get to drink red wine to, pardon the pun, to my heart's content!

AN OVERVIEW OF THE CARVER PLUS SHOCK METHOD FOR FOOD SECTOR VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS

---  original post follows below  ---

The FDA of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have created an online tool to help farmers and producers assess and mitigate vulnerabilities in their production processes. The risk assessment tool (free software) called Agriculture CARVER + Shock is designed to help the food industry at the farm level – implement food production security methods. CARVER + Shock is an offensive targeting prioritization tool adapted from the military version (CARVER) for use in the food industry. The tool can be used to assess the vulnerabilities within a system or infrastructure to an attack. It allows the user to think like an attacker to identify the most attractive targets for an attack. By conducting a CARVER + Shock assessment of a food production facility or process, the user can determine the most vulnerable points in their infrastructure, and focus resources on protecting the most susceptible points in their system.

Series About Wine And Your Heart

I ran across this information packed and thought provoking series about wine and your heart. It consists of 3 parts:

• Part I: More than just Enjoyment!
• Part II: Preventing Heart Attacks
• Part III: To the Heart of the Matter

Ellen Mack, M.D., M.P.H., the author, says:

The first two parts (see Part 1 &Part 2) of the series Wine and your Heart examined some of the vast epidemiological and scientific evidence that moderate consumption of wine is associated with decreased cardiac mortality. Is this information being put to good use?

For me, this all means, drink a little to be healthy. Cheers!

Medical Devices Infected By The Conficker PC Worm

Be very afraid. Hospital and medical devices have been found to be infected by a computer worm (kind of like a virus), reports this Mercury News article, Conficker worm hits hospital devices, "A computer worm that has alarmed security experts around the world has crawled into hundreds of medical devices at dozens of hospitals in the United States and other countries, according to technologists monitoring the threat." What I find so disturbing in the article is, "the working group has seen thousands of other machines located in hospitals reach out to the Conficker mastermind by contacting another computer on the Internet for instructions." The potential danger could be leaking of your health information, or the medical devices could be recruited as robots in an attack on other computer systems. Isn't technology grand!?

---  the original post follows below  ---

Wine contains a substance called resveratrol. It's reported to offer some health benefits by cleaning blood vessels and to reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke. Dr. Norrie talks about the wine he makes, that contains much more of the substance than most other wines, in this MSNBC News video, "Bottoms up for a healthy heart."

A word of caution, the purported health benefits in people are yet to be definitively proven.

Daylight Saving Time May Affect Heart - WebMD.com

---  original post follows below  ---

It turns out that turning your clocks ahead in the Spring increases your risk of heart attack, and turning your clocks back (like this weekend) in the Fall reduces the risk of heart attack. I wanted to share the source New England Journal of Medicine article with you, but the best I could do was share this Medical News Today summary article for you, "Heart Attack Risk Raised When Clocks Go Forward, And Are Reduced Slightly When Clocks Go Back." Wishing you some extra health from turning your clocks back this weekend.
