Stress
While stress seems to have effects only on our mental health, it can actually increase the risk of many conditions, including ischemic heart disease. When you are under a lot of pressure from work or school, your heart has to work much harder. The heartbeat can be heavier and faster. In the long term, it can make your blood vessels become damaged. Therefore, you should try reducing stress by practicing meditation, Tai Chi, or yoga. Focus on your hobbies and spend more time on your families can also help. [9]
