The World Cup season is always captivating. If you're healthy, feel free to indulge in the excitement of the game, but if you have health problems, you must weigh your passion for football against your health, or even your life. So, who shouldn't participate?stay up lateWatch football?
Cardiovascular patients
Many people with cardiovascular disease are football fans who want to immerse themselves in the vibrant and exciting atmosphere of the World Cup, but they are also concerned about whether it is safe for them to watch football with their heart condition. Medical experts have advised fans with cardiovascular disease to be cautious when watching football, especially during dramatic matches involving their favorite team. The intense excitement, exhilaration, and suspense during the match can strongly stimulate and affect the cardiovascular system, causing the heart to beat faster and stronger, blood pressure to rise, and arrhythmias to occur; arteries are also at risk of constriction and narrowing. Strong emotional states can cause angina, and even myocardial infarction in patients with coronary artery disease.
People with cardiovascular disease should notstay up lateWatching too much football can increase the risk of stroke.
Stay up lateWatching World Cup football matches can lead to sleep deprivation, causing fatigue and weakness. For people with cardiovascular disease, the tolerance for sleep deprivation is reduced, and the harmful effects are more severe: prolonged sleep deprivation can lead to stress, increased blood pressure, arrhythmias, and even stroke or heart attack. If watching football is accompanied by gambling, drinking alcohol, and smoking, the consequences are immeasurable, as the emotions of winning or losing from gambling, stimulated by alcohol and nicotine, can lead to cerebrovascular accidents or sudden death.
Heart patients should consult their doctor to see if they are able to...stay up lateWhether or not to watch football; whether medication dosage needs adjusting. Monitor blood pressure daily; if blood pressure is not well controlled during the World Cup, consult a doctor for medication dosage adjustment. Watch football at regular times and in moderation, avoiding significant changes to your daily routine. Watch football with family members so you have someone to assist you in case of health problems. Remember to stretch your legs and do light exercises during breaks. Get enough sleep each day to compensate for lost sleep.
Patients with cardiovascular disease should also avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, overeating, and consuming fast food or foods high in fat, sugar, and salt while watching a football match. However, they should not skip meals and must eat all meals throughout the day, especially breakfast. They should stop watching football when feeling tired and need rest to avoid overexertion. For patients with coronary artery disease, they should stop watching and rest if they experience symptoms such as angina, pain in the chest, neck, jaw, arms, upper abdomen, or back. If the pain is severe, they can take nitrate tablets (as prescribed by a doctor). If the pain does not subside, worsens in intensity, or lasts longer than 10 minutes, they should go to the hospital immediately for examination and treatment.
Cardiologists do not recommend giving up watching football. Many studies show that a cheerful and optimistic attitude is good for overall health, including for people with cardiovascular disease. The excitement, joy, and relaxed mood derived from football matches can act as an effective remedy for the heart, helping patients forget unpleasant symptoms and fatigue. Moderate and controlled football viewing is still encouraged. However, heart patients should only watch football purely for entertainment, avoiding betting, and refraining from alcohol, tobacco, coffee, or strong tea.
Women with health problems
Many studies show that women who stay up late have a higher risk of developing cancer compared to those who don't. This is because the light you get when you stay up late prevents the body from producing melatonin – a hormone only produced when sleeping in darkness. This hormone helps the body fight breast cancer. Without melatonin, the risk of breast cancer increases. Regular insomnia leads to low spirits, reduced immunity, mental stress, difficulty concentrating, and impaired memory. Lack of sleep also causes high blood pressure because it keeps nerve cells in a state of excitement.
Staying up late disrupts the body's biological clock, interrupting hormone metabolism, which is one of the causes of uterine fibroids... Frequent late nights, causing stress and nervous disorders, are also one of the causes of irregular menstruation. Therefore, women with nervous exhaustion, high blood pressure, uterine fibroids, or menstrual disorders should not stay up late watching football.
Patients with stomach pain
Before developing stomach pain, staying up late is a contributing factor. Once you already have stomach pain, staying up late worsens the condition. Staying up late to watch football while eating and drinking forces the stomach to work harder, exacerbating the problem. Furthermore, staying up late and consuming stimulants like coffee, tea, cigarettes, and alcohol all contribute to stomach ulcers.
Furthermore, patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic nephritis, physical weakness, and nervous exhaustion should not stay up late to watch football because they need rest and to maintain their health to prevent their conditions from worsening.
