If youve survived a heart-attack, you probably know that its especially important for you to get out and run or walk to help your cardiovascular health, however a new study suggests thats true only to a point.

Researchers studied about 2,400 heart-attack survivors and found that running is good for their cardiovascular health unless they ran more than four-miles a day. They also found that walking is good for their health unless they walked more than six miles per day. At those points, their cardiovascular risk started to go back up.

If youre a person with heart disease in your family, doctors say you should do about 30 minutes of exercise per day.

A new study from the University of Alabama found that, if youre already healthy, you can likely double your daily recommended sodium intake and still be okay

Researchers found that people under the age of 60 who dont have high blood pressure didnt seem to be affected by the extra salt.

There are two big catches here. First, theres still a correlation between salt intake and high blood pressure, and second, it turns out most of us already eat twice the recommended daily intake of sodium.

In short, no, this doesnt give you license to put extra salt on those fries, because chance are, youve been doing it all along.
