Well the holiday season is upon us and  you know the drill;shop till you drop, office parties, family gatherings, big meals and so on.  During this time of  year I think most of us fall off the ‘health and wellness’ wagon and wait till the new year to  re-start or re-make our resolutions; exercise more, eat well, lose weight, win the lottery and so on. You’ll  undoubtly be inundated with many “how to”make the perfect resolution.  But  before you get to that, here are a few things I want you to consider this holiday season:

1.  Don’t eat  large meals as this has been shown
to trigger  heart attacks.

2.  Don’t get overly angry  for instance, at the woman who stole your parking spot, or  at the  long line at the store which  makes you want to gnaw  your arm off,   because anger has been shown to trigger  heart attacks.

3. Don’t do extreme physical activities like shoveling the driveway  if you haven’t done a stitch of exercise all year as this too will trigger,   you guessed it ——  heart attacks.

There are many factors to heart disease and many people are unaware of their heart condition.  So this holiday season  enjoy  yourself  (sort of )wholeheartedly — just don’t go overboard–

Lastly, before you embark on your New Years resolutions this upcoming year check out the Par Q and follow up with your MD.

Cheers and Happy Heartday :)
