Stress Trumps Cholesterol

Stress Trumps Cholesterol
                              
As risk factors  affecting Heart Health, we all hear about Cholesterol, lack of exercise and smoking. On life style changes to improve health we keep hearing about eating healthy, regular exercise, cholesterol. blood pressure control and not smoking. 

Do you know that one could get a heart attack (from blocked coronary arteries), even if cholesterol is low, blood pressure is controlled with medication, execised regulary and have health eating habits?

Yes! Stress is not widely discussed as a risk factor... But stress alone can bring on a heart attack! Beware Workaholics!!!   '

And those caught up in the modern fast-paced  ROI focused workforce well-being insentive companies (including health care industry) pushing unreasonable Oroborus deadlines -- the honest hardworking healthy individuals, can and do end up over time (yes, pun intended) with stress induced heart attacks (years ahead of time)! Sadly. Work place Well=Being is still a low priority in our advanced (time is money culture) country.

Consider youself warned that Stress trumps Cholesterol as a risk factor for Heart attack!
