Keep It Calm Behind the Wheel

Getting stuck in traffic can triple your likelihood of having a heart attack for up to an hour afterwards, found researchers in Germany. Women and those who already have regular chest pain are at higher risk. If you must commute during rush hour, try to leave a few minutes earlier, carpool so you have company to help you relax or listen to calming music.
