HuffPost
There's a reason heart attacks are most common this time of year.
The holiday season is known to be a little (or a lot) extra. You may find that you drink more cocktails, eat more sweets or skip your daily walk.
While it’s of course OK to indulge in the treats of the season, doctors also warn that you should be mindful: The rich meals, increased alcohol consumption, heightened stress and disrupted routines of the holiday season are known to be hard on the heart, as proven by the increase in heart attacks this time of year.
This isn’t to say you can’t enjoy your holiday season and the food- and drink-based traditions that come along with it. Instead, you should think about celebrating responsibly and doing all that you can to protect your heart health and lower your stress throughout the final weeks of the year.
