Too Much Sleep Or Too Little May Trigger Heart Attacks
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/uhyKeeSPw4o
Here comes another loud cheer for sleep moderation from the Harvard-MIT Broad Biomedical Institute, the University of Colorado-Boulder, and the UK’s University of Manchester. Those sleeping fewer than 6 hours a night had a 20% higher heart attack risk, but sleeping longer than 9 hours was even more dangerous elevating the risk of heart attack by 34%.
The researchers studied more than 460,000 subjects 40-69 years of age with sleep, cardiovascular, genetic as well as 27 other categories of data in Britain’s huge Biobank The large size of the study group permitted the investigators to isolate the impact of sleep on cardiovascular disease. Sleep is such a powerful body rejuvenator that the proper amount of it can even help to neutralize those genetic factors that predispose many to heart attacks.
Hours of sleep is another of those health numbers to track regularly. Add it to weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and calories burned in order to keep the machine that is your body chugging along in optimal shape.
