Super Bowl Excitement could spike Hearts Attacks, Doctors Warn
“For rabid fans of the New York Giants and New England Patriots, this Sunday’s Super Bowl won’t be just a game. It may be a health hazard”.
In effect, studies had showed that heart attacks and other cardiac emergencies doubled in Munich, when that nation’s soccer team played in World Cup matches. While history suggests European soccer fans can get a bit more worked up than the average American football fan, doctors think there are some valid warnings to be shared.
But what in the Super Bowl could so much put in danger these sirs? They blamed emotional stress for the hearts problems, but they note also “lack of sleep, overeating, wolfing down junk food, boozing and smoking might have played a role too.”
Personally I did not know that such sports events could engender cardiac problems. I think that it can be possible if the person already has cardiac problems.
“The effect was strongest in people with known heart disease. So on Super Bowl Sunday, such people and others with known risks for heart disease — like high blood pressure or diabetes — should take extra care of themselves, said Dr. Lori Mosca, director of preventive cardiology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.”
Here are thus the prescriptions of the doctors to avoid it:
Avoid smoking too much, not to drink too much: a glass for a woman, two glasses for a man. (It is well known that a man drinks only two glasses during one big match when he is with his friends!), to have slept well at night which precedes the match and to try not to be too anxious during the match !

“A look at Obama’s seven years in the Illinois Legislature reveals a complicated relationship with lobbyists, particulary for someone who now makes criticism of lobbyists a centerpiece of his presidential campaign.
Barack Obama played poker and basketball with lobbyists when he was a state senator. He took their campaign donations and worked with them to write legislation. But he also helped pass ethics laws to reduce their influence.”
Nevertheless according to the book of François Durpaire and Oliver Richomme ” America of Barack Obama “, it is not with the lobbies that Obama became rich and powerful but thanks to Internet.
The beginning of 2007, a supporter and “fund raiser” new yorkais, Julius Genachowski, convinces the campaign Obama where it is necessary to make the difference on the net. Obama engages as director of internet campaign, Jim Brayton, who in 2004 had made of Howard Dean a big cyber-success.
The site of Obama is very a canvasser: from the homepage, a big red button: “donate”. And, just below, this text: “the presidential election campaign of Barack Obama is completely financed by basic supporters as you. Contrary to Hillary Clinton, the Senator Obama does not accept money of the groups of interest and the lobbyists of Washington.
His site allowed the challenger of rise of the live money, but especially to recruit hundred of thousand volunteers, who organize in four places of the country of the sales of cookies house, meetings tupperware or contests of football.
