There are situations and even certain times when the probability of a heart attack increases dramatically. Therefore, people who have problems with heart function will definitely find this information useful.
So, when does danger most often lurk?
Morning rise
Or not always good. According to research by scientists from Harvard University, the risk of a heart attack increases by 40% precisely with a tour. Why? When you wake up, your body produces adrenaline and other stress hormones, your blood pressure is high and there is a need for oxygen. The blood becomes thicker, and therefore the person is partially dehydrated. All this is an additional burden on the heart.
Monday morning
Double whammy - Monday mornings see an increase in heart attacks. Scientists suggest this is because people are stressed out about going to work early in the morning and after a weekend. Try to maintain a routine and not get too out of rhythm on the weekends.
After a hearty lunch/dinner
Research shows that a diet high in fat and carbohydrates narrows blood vessels, making blood more likely to clot. Protect yourself by not overeating and eating healthier foods.
During defecation
This is the last place to think about heart problems, but the fact remains that when you strain, the pressure in your chest increases and the return of blood to your heart slows down. Eat plenty of fiber, avoid dehydration and strain.

During unusual vigorous exercise
And not only energetic, but also unusual. When a person suddenly begins physical activity to which the body was not accustomed, the production of stress hormones increases, as a result of which blood pressure jumps and the heart rate increases, resulting in a heart attack. Regular exercise will protect your heart. But you need to increase the level of intensity gradually.

In public speaking
Public speaking is very similar to physical activity. Extreme nervousness increases blood pressure, heart rate, and adrenaline levels, so you should take care of your health first, and then your performance.
