If so, it may increase the risk of death and other heart-related problems, researchers have warned. The findings, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, suggest that people with such an unhealthy lifestyle had a four to five times higher likelihood of early death and increased chances of a second heart attack. "Our research shows that the two eating behaviours are independently linked with poorer outcomes after a heart attack but having a cluster of bad habits will only make things worse," said co-author Marcos Minicucci, from Sao Paolo State University in Brazil.
"We also think that the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and endothelial function could be involved in the association between unhealthy eating behaviours and cardiovascular outcomes," he added. For the study, the team involved 113 patients with a mean age of 60, of which 73 per cent were men. Here's a user manual to keep your knees working for years to come.

Study reveals brain activity linked to angry dreams. A recent study helps to decode the neural basis of dream emotions.
As part of the project, researchers identified a pattern of brain activity that reflects anger experienced during dreaming. Although emotions are experienced during both the waking and dreaming state, few studies have investigated the brain mechanisms underlying the affective component of dreams. The researchers obtained electroencephalography recordings from participants during two separate nights in a sleep laboratory.
After five-minute bouts of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, participants were woken and asked to describe their dreams and rate the emotions they experienced in the dreams. "We found that individuals who displayed greater alpha-band brain activity in the right frontal cortex as compared to the left during evening wakefulness and during REM sleep experienced more anger in dreams. "Previous studies have shown that frontal alpha asymmetry is related to anger and self-regulation during wakefulness. Jet's luck has finally run out: What its collapse says about India.
It looks like Jet Airways Ltd.’s luck has finally run out. India’s oldest privately owned airline is on the verge of shutting down all its flights -- it already has perhaps fewer than 10 aircraft active -- because it simply doesn’t have enough working capital. It’s more than a billion dollars in debt and has lost money for the last four quarters. On one level, you could argue that this is a good sign for India: Its institutions are holding up. State-owned banks are Jet’s biggest creditors and they seem unwilling to throw more money at the airline without a clear revival plan.
This is a big change from the past, when they kept supporting one of Jet’s rivals, the ill-fated Kingfisher Airlines Ltd., long after it seemed rational to do so. Jet's luck has finally run out: What its collapse says about India. Madras HC ban: After Google, TikTok vanishes from Apple app stores too. The Chinese video app TikTok is no longer available in Google and Apple app stores in India after a state court prohibited its downloads, a setback for developer Bytedance Technology's efforts to tap users in a key market.
TikTok, which allows users to create and share short videos with special effects, is hugely popular in India but some politicians say its content is inappropriate. A court in Tamil Nadu asked the government on April 3 to ban TikTok, saying it encouraged pornography and warning that sexual predators could target child users. The government sent a letter requesting Apple and Google to abide by the state court's order, according to an IT ministry official. 9-year-old Indian wins $1-mn Dubai jackpot after winning luxury car in 2013.
IPL 2019 SRH vs CSK Preview: Can the 'Orange Army' get its act together? Alcoholism, substance abuse leads college students to a life of distress, claims study. A new study has claimed that college students, if subjected to even one among negative habits such as heavy drinking or substance abuse, can end up living a life of mental distress, lack of sleep, low grades and poor lifestyle choices.
"We used a robust data-mining technique to identify associations between mental distress in college students with substance abuse, sleep, social behaviors, academic attitude and behaviors, and GPA (short-term and long-term as reflective of academic performance)," said Lina Begdache, an Assistant Professor at the Binghamton University, where the research was conducted. "Positive behaviors such as abstinence from substance use, studious attitudes and responsibility toward work and family are reflective of a brain chemistry profile that supports mood and maturation of the prefrontal cortex of the brain. The latter matures last and supports impulse and emotional control as well as rationalization of thoughts," she added. This first-time bettor won $1.2 million by putting his money on Tiger Woods.
The man who won a record-setting $1.2 million payout for betting that Tiger Woods would win the Masters golf tournament was a first-time sports bettor who day-tripped into Las Vegas from Wisconsin.
James Adducci, 39, flew in on April 9 to make the $85,000 wager and then flew right back home, according to William Hill Plc, which took the bet. Woods, who was given 14-1 odds at the time of the bet, clinched his victory Sunday. “This is a story for the ages,” Joe Asher, chief executive officer of William Hill’s U.S. operations, said in a statement.

In his address to a gathering at a seminar on aerospace power of the future and impact of technology, the IAF chief also asserted that the strike on a “non-military target with precision at night, deep inside Pakistan demonstrates our ability to hit the perpetrators of violence in our country, wherever they may be”.
“In the Balakot operation, we had technology on our side, and we could launch precision stand of weapons with great accuracy. In the subsequent engagements, we came out better because we upgraded our MiG-21 Bisons, and Mirage-2000 aircraft,” he said. “The results would have been further skewed in our favour had we inducted the Rafale aircraft in time," Dhanoa said.

People with Type 2 Diabetes (TED) should opt for eggs for breakfast, a recent study suggests.
According to the findings, a high-fat, low-carb breakfast (LCBF) can help those with T2D control blood sugar levels throughout the day. "The large blood sugar spike that follows breakfast is due to the combination of pronounced insulin resistance in the morning in people with T2D and because typical Western breakfast foods -- cereal, oatmeal, toast and fruit -- are high in carbohydrates," said Jonathan Little, lead author of the study published in the Journal of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition According to Little, breakfast is consistently the "problem" meal that leads to the largest blood sugar spikes for people with T2D. The research shows that eating a low-carb and high-fat meal first thing in the morning, is a simple way to prevent this large spike, improve glycemic control throughout the day, and can perhaps also reduce other diabetes complications.
Jet pilots appeal to SBI to release Rs 1500 cr, ask PM to save 20,000 jobs. Jet Airways pilots body, the National Aviator's Guild, Monday appealed the State Bank of India (SBI) to release Rs 1,500 crore, which was proposed to be infused in the ailing carrier as part of a debt-restructuring plan last month.
The airline is operating just 6-7 planes, with almost its entire fleet being grounded due to non-payment of rentals to lessors amid severe paucity of cash. "We would like to appeal SBI to release Rs 1,500 crore funds for the airline to help it continue operations. Tiger Woods's Masters win a major boost for the brands still with him. Tiger Woods’s improbable Masters victory will reward the few companies that stuck with him through his struggles, and the ones that joined him when he was near the low point of his career. The 43-year-old won his fifth Masters title on Sunday by one stroke. It’s his first major victory in over a decade and just his second PGA Tour victory in more than five years.

IPL 2019 MI vs RCB Preview: After 1st win, can Kohli's RCB rattle Mumbai? In match 32 of the VIVO Indian Premier League 2019 (IPL 2019), Mumbai Indians (MI) will host Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.
Virat Kohli's RCB registered their first victory in IPL 2019 by defeating Kings XI Punjab on Saturday and they'd be high on confidence with first points on the IPL 2019 points table. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians lost their last match against Rajasthan Royals despite scoring 187 runs as Jos Buttler's quickfire 89 overshadowed their efforts. As usual, It will rain runs in Wankhede so both the teams will have to pick bowlers in their playing 11 very carefully because wickets are the only key. Check IPL 2019 points table here RCB is tight on bowlers as they usually keep just enough bowlers to complete the 20-over per side quota, hence, they'd have to bring in some variation to tackle the formidable batting line-up of Mumbai Indians in which a tail-ender can also hit a six or two. Why B-cells produce protein antibiodies?
A new research has found why B-cells in rheumatoid arthritis produce protein antibodies that attack the healthy proteins of the body. B-cells are also known as white blood cells. The research was published in the Journal 'Arthritis and Rheumatology'. "To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to conduct whole transcriptome profiling of antigen-specific B cells in any human autoimmune disorder," said Varadarajan, the researcher. He further added, "We anticipate that these data will serve as a foundational data set for investigating multiple hypotheses on the roles of B cells in RA and other autoimmune disorders, and will enable drug discovery.
" B-cells activate to produce an antibody as soon as a new pathogen is encountered in the body. While antibodies are the natural way the body fights infections, in the autoimmune RA, these antibodies attack the body's own proteins and are thus called autoantibodies. Less than 1000 B-cells are autoreactive. Pakistan releases 100 Indian fishermen. Lok Sabha 1st phase candidates: 32% crorepatis, 17% facing criminal charges. Business Standard. IPL 2019 CSK vs RR: When 'captain cool' Dhoni lost his cool on the umpire.
Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni escaped a ban and was let off with a 50 per cent fine on his match fee for an unprecedented confrontation with the on-field umpire during the IPL encounter against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.
