HEAL YOUR HEART WITHOUT EXERCISE!
An experimental protein can “trick” the heart into healthy growth without exercise and reduce the risk of heart disease. The protein, cardiotrophin 1 (CT1), prompts heart muscles to “grow in a more healthy way,” said Lynn Megeney, senior author of a report in the journal Nature.

The substance could be used in the future to treat cardiac muscle damage!
