Sex, Eating And Sleeping. Three Things That Can Trigger A Heart Attack…

Anger really can trigger a heart attack. But then, so can getting sick, being too hot, being too cold, air pollution, lack of sleep, grief, overeating, natural disasters, exercise and sex.

Then I found a nifty little article written by Robin Lloyd for LiveScience and it was explained very well, if not elementary…

The dehydration that normally occurs after a night of sleep also puts a plaque-plagued circulatory system at risk. Also, heart medications wear off during the night .

So there you go, that is why. But don’t worry yourself to pieces because so many of us wake every morning with no complications or cardiac events. Heck we even watch tv till 1 AM, drink a little too much, over eat to say the least, stress over silly little things and have a little nooky here and there.

And guess what? We’re still here. Yee ha. So moderation, moderation, moderation. And remember that no one is perfect, but take note of your everyday happenings and for goodness sake, wake up with a smile on your face. You are seeing another day!
