Beware the first workday after a holiday — it could literally kill you
A recent study highlights the health risks associated with returning to work after a holiday, particularly the increased likelihood of cardiac arrests. Researchers found that incidents of cardiac arrest were significantly higher on the first workday following a holiday compared to other weekdays. Experts suggest that stress, changes in sleep patterns, and dietary habits during holidays may contribute to this phenomenon.
- ▪Cardiac arrest incidents are 9% higher on the first workday after a holiday.
- ▪The study analyzed health data from over 200,000 adults in South Korea.
- ▪Stress and changes in diet during holidays may increase heart risks upon returning to work.
