habits that harm the brain, easily leading to stroke

|

Stroke, or cerebral vascular accident, has increased significantly in young people in recent years.

Many studies and opinions from international health experts have shown that some bedtime habits can increase the risk of stroke in this age group.

Sleeping late and exposed to artificial light at night is a popular habit among young people, especially in urban areas.

Research published in the Journal of Stroke by the American Heart Association (AHA) in 2024 shows that continuous exposure to artificial light at night can increase the risk of stroke by up to 43%.

Dr. Nieca Goldberg, Director of Health at Atria New York and Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, explains that lack of sleep due to exposure to artificial light can lead to high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, weight gain and arrhythmia, all of which are risk factors for stroke.

The habit of using phones, computers or watching TV before bed not only affects sleep quality but can also increase the risk of stroke.

The blue light from these devices inhibits the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, leading to sleep disorders and increasing the risk of cardiovascular problems.

The habit of drinking alcohol and eating late at night before bed is also identified as a potential risk factor for stroke.

Air pollution affects the heart because it damages blood vessels, making them unable to provide enough blood, increasing the risk of blood clots, high blood pressure and disrupting heart rate, says Dr. Bradley Serwer, Director of Health at VitalSolution.

Although he mentioned air pollution, consuming alcohol and eating late at night can also cause similar effects, increasing the risk of stroke.

Prolonged stress and lack of sleep are two factors that can increase the risk of stroke in young people. Research published in The Lancet magazine shows that people who work more than 55 hours a week have a higher risk of stroke than those who work 35-40 hours.

Stress and lack of sleep lead to high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems, contributing to an increased risk of stroke.

To reduce the risk of stroke, health experts recommend that young people maintain healthy living habits before going to bed.

Dr. Nieca Goldberg recommends: "Turn off all artificial light sources before bed so that they do not interfere with your circadian rhythm."

Limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding late eating, managing stress and ensuring adequate and quality sleep are important measures to protect cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of stroke.
