Studies show that repeated binge drinking can contribute to spikes in blood pressure, increasing the likelihood of stroke, heart attack, and heart failure. Heart Muscle Damage and Heart Failure The impact of drinking alcohol on the heart muscle is another critical area of concern.

What is a Heart Attack? A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when an artery becomes blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This blockage is often caused by a blood clot or the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood.

Resistance exercise is probably most effective when paired with a reduced calorie diet (for weight loss) — as resistance exercise alone is likely not sufficient for meaningful weight loss to occur. Of course, these benefits can also extend to individuals with a BMI in the normal range.

In a cohort of >3,000 people from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), sleeping <6 hours each night predicted a higher prevalence of stroke, heart attack, and chronic heart failure. There is a considerable temporal variation in blood pressure, blood clotting, and endothelial function.
