8 Hours Mark Is the Sweet Spot To Avoid Heart Diseases

The recent study has confirmed that a sleep period of 6-8 hours is the optimal count to reduce heart risks. The research was done by Dr Saurabh Aggarwal of Chicago Medical School. Based on his research he found that people who do sleep between the 6-8 hour mark are less likely to have cardiovascular events.

Dr Aggarwal in his research paper has found that people who sleep less than six hours a night were twice as likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke, compared to those who sleep between six and eight hours, News reported.

This doesn't mean that you can overdo it, if you plan to sleep more than 8 hours a day then you are again going on to a high risk zone, the research found that sleeping for more than eight hours doubles the risk of angina and increases likelihood of coronary artery disease by 19 per cent.

So keep it tight and 8 hours should be all good to go. Also do not sleep less, it is tough to say so in the busy schedules that everyone maintain during this era.

Dhoom 3 : Aamir Khan Spotted in BMW K1200R

The Dark Knight it is, yes, we are talking about the new looks of Aamir Khan for Dhoom 3. Pardon our excitement but this definitely looks way beyond what we had seen for previous Dhoom. When YRF had signed up Aamir Khan for Dhoom 3, they were aiming at a higher success than what was achieved in the previous versions, and the latest looks of Aamir just stresses the point.

Aamir Khan was recently spotted in Chicago wearing a black jacket on a shorter version of BMW K1200 R - The looks as you can see are just beyond stunning. There has been criticism that the bike is bit shorter than what had been shown by Hrithik or John in previous versions, but its not the bike that tells the story so we can simply ignore that fact.

Aamir Khan who has been training himself for the past few months has already begun the schedule of his parts, He will be joined by Katrina Kaif shortly and we will soon see Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra joining the sets. Unlike what was said earlier, the shoots are not going to happen behind closed doors as we see the outdoor shots quite well set here.

And that was not all, according to the spectators who spotted the 47-year-old actor shooting; Aamir was a sight to behold since he looked better than ever in his new lean and mean look for which he has been working out a lot these days.

Aamir like in previous versions of Dhoom will play the lead baddie and it is the cop characters played by Abhishek and Uday who tries to bring him to justice. We will still have to wait on what look changes does the other actors go through for the movie.

But for Aamir we have a super like and super excited!

Dhoom was a movie which narrated a story of three thieves in elite bikes stealing from the best, it had chases, action and romance. It also marked the impression of John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan quite beautifully in minds of audience. This was followed by the Dhoom 2 which was made an epic by actors like Hrithik Roshan, Aishwariya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, this time Dhoom was more glamorous and more thrilling. So when the producers announced the third one, its quite natural that the hopes were high. The expectation reached at the highest peak when it was announced that Aamir will be doing the lead role, as this ensured the audience that the movie wont be a fluke and will have them bite their nails off when it hits screen.

But then came the delays, first was by Aamir Khan, who wanted to finish his movie 'Talaash' (which is another story getting delayed), but later he changed plans and started training to get the look for the movie. But during the same period he committed for 'Satyamev Jayate' yet another milestone to Aamir's career, but this did delay the Dhoom 3 shoots. And finally it is going to be the Aamir's hair style which is delaying the shoots by two weeks. Aamir who is known to try new hair styles since 'Dil Chahta Hai', and he wants the character of Dhoom 3 to have a different look.

Dhoom 3's first schedule has already started at Chicago and Aamir was scheduled to join the crew by June 29, but as per the latest news it will be only July 7th when the crew see the actor in action. 

We wonder what he is going to do about 'Talaash' is it gonna release anytime soon???
