Excitement for SuperBowl 56 at SoFi Stadium is spiking, but doctors are issuing another warning: a spike in heart attacks.
A new partnership between Hall of Fame Health and the Pacific Neuroscience Institute is helping former professional football players with complimentary initial cognitive screenings and other services.
"Close losses ... that creates heartache, and as a result, that can propagate increased stress, particularly for those people who are at higher risk. Those who are smokers, are diabetic, have high blood pressure and high cholesterol, not in great shape," explained Chan."Fans are often very invested in their team so when they win, that creates elation and it creates a sense of happiness and satisfaction, and that kind of soothes the body," Chan said.
While these studies don't prove cause and effect, we do know that alcohol and salty, fatty foods combined with emotional stress can trigger cardiac episodes. One tip from the experts? Take breaks when the players take breaks.
