In contrast, exercise showed to be beneficial in maintaining healthy blood flow among healthy patients and those with only slightly-blocked arteries.
The findings, published in the journal ‘Physics of Fluids’, come as many people, including several celebrities from stand-up comedian Raju Srivastav to TV actor Siddharth Shukla and popular Kannada actor Puneeth Rajkumar, suffered fatal heart attacks during or post their workout session.

SandalwoodFrom a non-dramatic family drama to a time loop film and more, here are five Kannada movies that truly deserved better box office reception this year.Subha J Rao2022 will be known as the year that Kannada cinema conquered the pan-India box office in its truest sense. Just three films – Kgf 2, Kantara (Rs 400-plus crore), and Vikrant Rona (Rs 100-plus crore) – put the industry on everyone’s radar. Puneeth Rajkumar’s posthumous release James raked in about Rs 150 crore too. Suddenly, everyone was talking about ‘Kannad’ cinema, and also learnt to add the missing ‘a’ while at it. But is Kannada cinema just about those films that did well at the turnstiles? Most definitely not. Every year, there are a bunch of films that slip into the cracks of box office numbers, but eventually find their destiny among the audience. Cult classics, we call them later, applying the balm of nomenclature on deep hurt.
