Why does the risk of dying from stroke increase 20 times in the second day?

A heart attack or stroke does not make people die a lot on Saturday or Sunday, but on Monday. In particular, men die 20 times more than usual on this day, while women - 15 times more. Scientists have found a link between sudden cardiac arrest on the second day with . returning to work after the weekend.

According to a Scottish study, scientists do not rule out the sudden increase in heart disease due to stress stemming from anxiety before a full week of responsible work, but they also find other causes. : alcohol! The results of the study in Scoltland, England, and Italy suggest that drinking a lot of alcohol in the weekend will lead to severe consequences for the first day of the week.

So what happens to people's hearts on the first day of the week? Why do they suddenly die? Experts say in most cases, one of the blood vessels in the heart breaks. The cause of cardiac arrest is also due to a number of hormones - like cortisone - or some of the hormones that occur during the nervous system activity that our brains cannot control. In such cases, the pace of heart activity changes, resulting in severe consequences.

What does age mean in these cases? The answer is no. Obviously the dead are often over 65, but even younger people are not out of this danger, the Second Day principle is particularly positive in Europe, the US and Australia, but does not work in China. .

Chinese people often die of heart on Saturday, and less, on Sunday. This principle also does not apply to Japanese people. Especially Japanese women often die from heart disease on Saturday (for those who do housework and on Saturday is more housework day). Anyone who works at a workplace or agency rarely dies of heart disease on the second day.

The difference between Europe and Asia can be explained either traditionally (how to change the pace of life in the weekends) or religion (Jewish or Muslim believers can follow some rules Different during the holidays), however, this ability has not been well studied.

Understanding why people are vulnerable on Monday will help them get rid of the dangers: organize time so that the work doesn't become too stressful on the first day of the week. But the medicine for "Black Monday" is not yet available.
