Have a Zen(ner than usual) Superbowl

Since its Superbowl weekend and all it seems only fitting that the New England Journal of Medicine would come out with a study detailing the dangers of stress in sports fans. Yup, that's right. Getting too pumped about your team could have dangerous consequences.

Technically, the study was looking at a different kind of football fans (the soccer kind), but I think its safe to say that people in homes around the US on Sunday will be getting just as riled up as World Cup fans do. And that, it turns out, can be dangerous for your heart. The study showed that viewing a stressful soccer match significantly increased the risk of a "cardiovascular event" - i.e. heart attack.

So if you're lucky, you really couldn't care less about the Pats or the Giants. But all you northeasterners be careful! Remember to breathe every once in a while as you're screaming at the TV.
