You may be headed down the quick road towards a heart attack and researchers now know why.
A study in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine looks at stressed out workers and finds their blood is thicker than calmer, less aggressive workers.
And this thicker blood tends to clot more quickly, leading to sudden blockages in heart arteries and a heart attack.

There's a second study out on stress and the heart, but this one isn't just about work, but everyday stress.
Researchers in Canada found when people with heart disease on heart medicine live a life filled with stress, their heart medicines don't work.
Even medicines designed to slow heart rate and lower pressure do neither when someone is stressed out.

And finally, if you've got rheumatoid arthritis, it may be time to eat some salad dressed with olive oil.
A study in the American Journal of Nutrition finds vegetables and olive oil can lessen joint pain and damage that comes from rheumatoid arthritis.
