Heart attack risk spikes on Mondays, Dr. Khan warns

Dr. Amir Khan, a health expert on ITV, has warned that people are more likely to experience heart attacks on Mondays. He shared this information in an Instagram video, citing research that shows a 13% increased risk compared to other days. Khan explained that stress from returning to work after the weekend may contribute to this heightened risk. Changes in sleep patterns and weekend indulgences could also play a role in increasing heart strain. He recommends maintaining a balanced diet, staying active, and ensuring good sleep quality. Khan also suggests that people over 40 monitor their blood pressure and consult a doctor if readings are consistently high.
