Cheering for your favorite NHL team can give your ticker a real workout. How handy, no gym membership required!
But for real. A Canadian study discovered that men under 55 are more likely to suffer a heart attack the day after a home team victory, with hospital admissions increasing by 40%. So, with the NHL playoffs in full swing, if your team clinches a win, maybe take a breather before celebrating? Especially if you have any heart-related issues.
Health experts actually advise individuals with heart conditions to monitor their health during emotionally charged games. It’s important to recognize symptoms early and seek medical attention promptly to prevent serious cardiac events. When it comes down to it, it IS just a game (a really exciting one usually!) But you don’t want to end up in the hospital and potentially MISS a game right!?
