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.

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.
