00:00 Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04 Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09 Alright, today we are going to talk about, 11 surprising things that can cause heart disease.
00:15 Heart disease can affect your heart's muscles, valves, or rhythm, and can involve blood vessels
00:19 too. Common causes include unhealthy foods, lack of exercise, and smoking, as well as high blood
00:25 pressure, infections, and birth defects. But some causes might surprise you. 1. Traffic noise. Even
00:31 moderate traffic noise can raise your blood pressure and heart failure risk. Each 10 decibel
00:36 increase boosts your odds of heart disease and stroke. 2. Migraines. Migraines, especially with
00:41 auras, increase your risk of strokes, chest pain, and heart attacks. Consult your doctor about the
00:47 best treatments if you have a family history of heart disease or stroke. 3. Parenthood. Each kid
00:52 slightly raises your heart disease risk and this is true for both parents. Women with early periods
00:57 or menopause, miscarriages, or who had their ovaries or uterus removed are more at risk.
01:02 4. Height. Shorter people probably have higher cholesterol and triglyceride levels or less
01:07 healthy habits. Each 2.5 inches below average height increases heart disease risk by about 8%.
01:12 5. Loneliness. Few friends or unhappy relationships can raise heart disease and stroke risk,
01:18 similar to secondhand smoke. Joining social activities can help improve both your heart
01:23 health and social life. 6. ADHD medication. Stimulant drugs for ADHD can raise heart rate
01:30 and blood pressure over time, potentially leading to heart problems. Work with your doctor to weigh
01:34 the risks and benefits. 7. Long work hours. Working 55+ hours a week increases heart disease
01:40 risk compared to a 35-40 hour week. Stress, prolonged sitting, and poor habits may contribute.
01:47 Prioritize self-care if you work long hours. 8. Gum disease. Oral bacteria can enter your
01:52 bloodstream and cause artery inflammation, leading to atherosclerosis. Treating gum disease can lower
01:57 inflammation markers linked to heart disease. 9. Troubled childhood. Experiencing violence,
02:03 bullying, or abuse can lead to high blood pressure, obesity, and type 2 diabetes in adulthood,
02:08 raising heart disease risk. Early life stress can have long-term health impacts.
02:12 10. The flu. Flu can significantly increase heart attack risk. Fighting an infection may
02:17 make your blood clot more easily. Get a flu shot to help protect your heart.
02:21 11. Anger. Anger outbursts can almost quintuple (5 times) your heart attack risk shortly after.
02:27 They also increase the chances of stroke or a racing heartbeat. Consider anger management to
02:31 lower your heart risk. Understanding these unexpected factors can help you take better
02:35 care of your heart. Make small changes and consult your doctor for advice tailored to
02:40 your health needs. Thanks for watching, Sunbro. Please subscribe, like, comment,
