Watch Out For Your Heart
It is common knowledge that
for those susceptible to heart problems, a burst of intense
physical activity, such as a game of football, could bring about a
heart attack.
Even when sitting at home, watching the game on TV? Maybe.
On June 22 1996 Holland and France were playing for a place in the
semi-finals of the European football championships. It was
estimated that about 60% of the Dutch population were tuned in to
watch the match.
Also noted, by scientists at the University Medical Centre,
Utrecht, Netherlands, was a massive 50% increase in fatal heart
attacks and strokes, amongst men, in Holland on that one day.
(There was no such increase in fatalities amongst women.)
I probably don't have to tell
you - France won the match. It was a hard fought game, with neither
side ahead even after extra time. A penalty kick decided the
victors. Did the result 'break the hearts' of the Dutch men? It
appears so.
Many people believe that emotions - positive or negative, can alter
the course of even major physical diseases. Emotions obviously can
affect certain body functions, such as heart rate, sweating, sleep
patterns, and bowel movements.
Recent studies conducted at leading universities, hospitals and
research facilities throughout the US are now linking mental and
emotional stress with nearly all physical disease.
The emotional stress of watching your football team playing in an
important match can cause anxiety. The nervous system is directly
affected, triggering the release of adrenaline. The heart rate and
blood pressure can increase. Anxiety can also bring on muscle
tension, leading to pains in the head, back, neck or elsewhere.
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE Don't
forget that positive emotions affect our health too. It is accepted
by most people that laughter and a positive attitude can improve
health. The love and support of a partner, friends and family are
also known to be an important factor.
Think also of placebo treatments which have worked just through the
power of the mind.
The moral: Enjoy the sport on TV, be happy when your team are
playing, but don't take the scores to heart if they
lose.
