BOSTON (Reuters Life!) - Clocks spring ahead and fall back when adjusting in and out of daylight saving time. A study published on Wednesday finds that heart attack rates do the same.

Swapping fried and salty foods for fruit and veg could cut a third of the heart attack risk around the world, work suggests.
