September 14, 2011 What do you think of when you think, HEART ATTACK? You think, it couldn't happen to you, right? You aren't an overweight, chain smoking, beer chugging, couch potato, so you're good.

People who sit most of the day have a 54 percent greater risk of heart attack than those who spend a good chunk of the day standing.
Researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana came to this conclusion after analyzing the lifestyles of more than 17,000 men and women over 13 years.
The scientists found that even non-smokers who exercise regularly and would be considered in good shape double their risk for heart attack if their job requires them to sit most of the time.
