Caution: that football game could be hazardous to your health.
A recent study found that watching your favorite team suffer a loss could increase heart attack risk over the next few hours. That’s because your body is suddenly flooded with stress hormones that can cause blood pressure to spike. We can’t blame the game for all of the risk. It’s not unusual for football fans to drown their sorrows in saturated fats and sugary stuff during and following the game, especially if it was close or an unexpected loss. It’s an unconscious play to feel better - and one that could backfire on your health.
