Holiday ‘Indulgence’ Triggers DEADLY Heart Condition?

Christmas and New Year’s Eve are right around the corner. And that means it’s time to celebrate!
Whether you’re choosing to celebrate with family, friends, or even co-workers… chances are you might raise a glass of your favorite wine, beer, or cocktail to celebrate all that you’ve been through this past year.
And rightfully so!
While there’s nothing wrong with celebrating the holidays with your favorite ‘adult’ beverage, it’s important that you do so responsibly.
Not only for the safety of you and others around you…
But according to some new research, too much alcohol can be a trigger for a potentially DEADLY heart condition.
Here’s everything you need to know… and why it’s still okay to celebrate (in moderation).
According to a research study from the University of California-San Francisco, alcohol is a major trigger for arterial fibrillation (AFib) – the most common form of irregular heartbeat which can put you at risk for heart attack or stroke down the road.
Arterial fibrillation can be caused by a number of different factors – including lack of sleep, caffeine, poor diet, and alcohol… with caffeine usually being the most commonly associated risk factor to developing AFib.
But this latest study aimed to identify other triggers for AFib… and they found that alcohol was the sole factor that always resulted in significantly more self-reported bouts of AFib.

In other words, too much alcohol seems to be the most common denominator when it comes to an AFib diagnosis.
So, what does this all mean for you?
First, even if you’re the healthiest person in the world, drinking too much alcohol isn’t good for you.
Just remember… everything in MODERATION!
Second, if you have been diagnosed with AFib (or have a history of AFib in your family), have a conversation with your doctor or cardiologist about the best – and most responsible – way to incorporate alcohol into your diet. Especially if you’re on any medications for heart issues!
If you know you will be going to multiple parties or celebrations this holiday season, perhaps only drink at 1-2 of them. And if you do choose to drink, be sure to limit yourself.
Just remember, this is a time of year to celebrate… just be sure to do so in moderation. Your heart with thank you!
