Researchers have warned that Christmas and New Year celebrations can seriously harm heart health for idle and inactivity reasons at these times.
A recent study stated that a two-week vacation from work is enough to weaken the heart muscles and damage the bones and lungs, if no similar activity is done during the normal working days.
According to the British newspaper, "The Sun", the researchers tracked the health of 46 volunteers, aged 21 to 28 years or more than 60 years, who were not doing sports activities, but they all performed at least 10,000 steps a day before the experiment that It lasted two weeks, and then reduced these steps to 1500 steps per day throughout the study period.
The scientists participating in the study found that the volunteers ’health and physical fitness decreased during the study period, and the risk was more severe for the elderly.
