SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Sleep in this weekend - you may actually be doing your heart a favor. Researchers at Korea University analyzed sleep data from 41,000 adults and found that people who caught some extra shut-eye on weekends were up to 9% less likely to have high blood pressure. The sweet spot was about one hour and 27 minutes of additional sleep. Snoozing past your alarm on your days off was long thought to be a major health no-no, because a consistent sleep and wake-up schedule is a key factor in good sleep hygiene. But the researchers say extra rest may help the body recover from a week of sleep deprivation and reduce stress on the heart and blood vessels. However, don’t turn Saturday into hibernation: More than 4 extra hours sleep over the weekend sleep was linked to an INCREASED risk of hypertension.

Gary Oldman’s connection to the world of ‘James Bond’ may be unknown, but he claims to have some key information about the casting of the next 007. According to the Oscar-winner, the widely-debated hunt to find the next superspy is over, and he’s hoping his “Slow Horses” co-star Jack Lowden is the chosen one. In an interview, Oldman said: “It’s been rumored that [Lowden] is on the shortlist,” and “We’re going to find out pretty soon…Because they have picked him. They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet.” Oldman said his “fingers are crossed for Jack.”

The list of presenters also sets up another expected reunion, of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz.

OF THE DAY
Maybe pumpkin spice has had its 15 minutes…or 15 years of fame. For the first time in a decade, McDonald’s won’t offer a pumpkin spice latte this fall. Instead, the fast-food chain is introducing a Caramel Apple Pie Latte as its sole seasonal coffee flavor. The move comes as consumers appear increasingly interested in more unusual coffee flavors. Datassential found that 99% more coffee shops are offering apple pie flavors this year, while 49% more feature caramel apple. The pumpkin spice latte isn’t disappearing, though. About a quarter of consumers still consider pumpkin an appealing coffee flavor. And with Starbucks firmly owning the pumpkin spice crown, McDonald’s may be betting that apples are the next big thing in fall drinks.
The 12-3-30 workout is a simple way to turn walking into a serious, but low-impact workout. Set a treadmill to a 12% incline and 3mph, then walk for 30 minutes. The steep incline raises your heart rate while engaging more muscles than flat walking. If 12% feels too tough, start at 3-4%, and gradually work your way up.
