Adrenaline Trap: A heart attack is now possible at age 25. The doctor told me why

Cardiovascular diseases are rapidly getting younger. Doctors are increasingly recording cases of heart attacks and strokes in young people aged 25 years. This was told to the correspondent of the agency “Minsk-Novosti” by the head of the City Health Center Snezhan Kavrigo.

According to the expert, among the causes of the growth of heart and vascular diseases in young people is malnutrition and excessive consumption of energy drinks.

- Because of the constant lack of sleep and low efficiency, modern youth drinks energy in liters, said S. Cavrigo. When they are used, a powerful adrenaline rush occurs, which creates a short-term burst of energy. However, this effect is deceptive. After about 30 minutes, the effect of stimulants goes into deep minus. There is a decline in strength, because of which a person reaches for a new can, getting into a vicious circle of dependence.

The specialist warned that the main danger when fascination with energy lies in the uncontrolled rise in blood pressure. This constant artificial stimulation causes the heart muscle to work for wear.

Also S. Cavrigo told about the reverse side of fitness and diets.

- Today, among young people, there are strong tendencies to fascination with diets, interval fasting and other new trends, the expert noted. Blind copying of trends is dangerous. In matters of nutrition, an exclusively individual approach is necessary. Therefore, before radically changing the diet, everyone should know the characteristics of their body and genetic risks.

As for physical activity, the specialist noted: the wrong approach to training, lack of adequate recovery and rest lead to overtraining.

- Instead of benefits, the body receives the opposite effect - a colossal wear of the heart muscle, Cavrigo warned. Any fitness load should be strictly adapted to a specific organism.
