Which of the following fall activities can promote heart health?
a) visiting a haunted house
b) eating candy corn
c) watching scary movies
d) carving pumpkins
a&c
Some medical professionals believe that an innocent scare now and then (say while visiting a haunted house or watching a scary movie) can, in fact, promote heart health.
Michael Castine, cardiologist at Ochsner Medical Center, explained that when scared, a person's adrenaline triggers the blood vessels to contract and re-direct blood toward the heart and lungs, in a "flight or fight" response. The result? "This can train your heart to pump more blood with every stroke—increasing your cardiac output up to eight times its resting capacity," Castine explained.
