Why Poker Night and Golf Are Good For You


Guys hanging out with their boys is not just good times, but good for the heart--literally. According to a report from Healthiernews.com, a group of Sweedish researchers conducted a 15 year study with the results showing that guys with the greatest amount of social interaction — contact with many friends they saw on a regular basis — were less than half as likely to have heart disease, when all other factors being equal (smoking, weight, job-related stress, etc.). The research also showed that men who showed deep emotional attachment to their friends were only 58% as likely to develop heart disease as their loner counterparts.

So there you go guys, if you need an argument to go golf this weekend, you can tell your wife that you're doing it for your health.
