Stress and Monday, a bad combination

Cardiologists know that Monday morning is the time when most heart attacks occur. Because? It is because the stress hormone, called cortisol, increases its level during the first hours of the day. The elevation in the level of this hormone can cause cholesterol plaques that have accumulated in the arteries to clog them and prevent the passage of blood to the heart. In addition, the increase in blood pressure and pulse caused by the stress caused by returning to work after a few days of rest, means that Monday has the sad title of being the day in which the most heart attacks occur. Therefore, remember that for heart health, it is necessary to reduce stress. Practice yoga, meditate, exercise or count to ten. Do whatever works best for you to take the stress off your heart. Diet also plays an important role in stress. Take care of the food you eat and try to find the best quality.
