Study

Mental Attitude: Anger and Anxiety Increase Heart Attack Risk.

An analysis of more than 300 heart attack patients indicates that intense anger or anxiety dramatically increases an individual's risk for a myocardial infarction in the hours immediately following such an occurrence. More specifically, in the 120 minutes following a bout of intense anger, a person's risk for a heart attack increases by 8.5 times and an extreme anxiety episode elevates the risk by 9.5 times!

Senior researcher Dr. Thomas Buckley writes, "While the absolute risk of any one anger episode triggering a heart attack is low, our data demonstrates that the danger is real and still there." He further comments that the increased risk of heart attack after intense anger or anxiety is "most likely the result of increased heart rate and blood pressure, tightening of blood vessels, and increased clotting, all associated with triggering of heart attacks."

"Fitness Mantra" by Neeraj Mehta

“So much for water” By Neeraj Mehta

Staying hydrated is a must in summer as water forms most of the body weight. Water ensures proper functioning of each internal organ. The body loses water through perspiration, urine, tears and breathing. Dehydration can cause dizziness, light-headedness, reduced concentration, cramps, low energy, and sluggish digestion. During summer, the body tends to lose more water due to heat and humidity.

Apart from drinking water regularly, one can try other steps to prevent dehydration. For one, cut down on high-protein foods and add more carbs. Other ways to stay hydrated in summer include adding fruits and salads to your diet.

Diet: Summer has lots of fruity options, which are also a delicious way of fulfilling the water loss.

Watermelon tops the list in terms of water content (almost 90-95 per cent). It also has nutrients like vitamins, potassium, Lycopene etc. Cantaloupe, commonly known as musk melon, is another rich source of water. Strawberries are high-fibre, low-calorie fruits that help detox the body. They are rich in water and full of antioxidants.
