The plaque narrows the vessels and can break off, causing heart attacks. The new study, to be presented at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology, found that levels of this early biomarker for heart disease correlated with hours of daily sitting by 2,031 participants.<\/p>\n<p>For each daily hour of sedentary time, average coronary artery calcification levels increased by 14 percent.\u00a0 Read full story at <a class=\"cs_link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.philly.com\/philly\/health\/20150308_Even_for_gym-goers_too_much_sitting_linked_to_heart_disease.html\" target=\"_blank\">Even for gym-goers too much sitting linked to heart disease<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No surprise the Vedic lifestyle remains the most preferred lifestyle of healthy people of all times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When computers were invented, they were considered a boon because they were going to reduce our physical work.
