Sooji Nam is making it her mission to raise awareness about holiday heart syndrome, a condition that can pose serious risks during the festive season. This phenomenon occurs when individuals experience heart-related issues due to the excesses often associated with holiday celebrations, including overeating, increased alcohol consumption, and heightened stress levels.
Nam emphasizes the importance of maintaining heart health during this time of year, particularly as many people tend to overlook their well-being amidst the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations. She encourages individuals to be mindful of their dietary choices, suggesting moderation in food and drink consumption. Additionally, Nam highlights the significance of staying active, even during the busy holiday season, as regular exercise can help mitigate the risks associated with holiday heart syndrome.
