scienziati affermano che ottenere meno di sette ore di sonno per la notte fatale potrebbe portare a sondare il sonno fatale = il sonno non può essere abbastanza benefico come beneficiario come beneficiario come beneficiario come beneficiario come solo a 56 ore a 569 anni.not Fumo per quanto riguarda i problemi cardiaci. Le affermazioni provengono da uno studio pubblicato nel European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. I ricercatori nei Paesi Bassi hanno analizzato il rischio di malattie croniche come malattie cardiache e ictus per oltre 14.000 uomini e donne nei loro 20 anni in un periodo di 12 anni.There were four lifestyle factors that were identified as being ‘positive’ – engaging in exercise, adhering to a healthy diet, only drinking alcohol in moderation, and not smoking. On top of these four key factors, the team of researchers wondered if sleep was also similarly important. By the end of the study, it was found that the participants who had stuck to all four healthy factors  were actually at a 57% reduced risk of developing cardiovascular disease and had a 67% lower risk of death from events such as suffering a heart attack. Interestingly, sufficient sleep was found to boost these figures even more. Researchers discovered that with seven or more hours of sleep each night increased the benefit of these  healthy behaviours; now standing at a 65% lower risk of cardiovascular disease  and 83% lower risk of fatal events from occurring. The researchers state that previous studies have demonstrated a connection between insufficient/poor sleeping habits and cardiovascular disease, however theirs is the first to analyse if sleep – in addition to the other four healthy lifestyle factors – can help to decrease a person’s risk even more. “If all participants adhered to all five healthy lifestyle factors, 36% of composite cardiovascular disease [heart disease or stroke] and 57% of fatal cardiovascular disease could theoretically be prevented or postponed,” say the researchers, from the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, Bilthoven, and Wageningen University. They added: “The public health impact of sufficient sleep duration, in addition to the traditional healthy lifestyle factors, could be substantial,” whilst Lead researcher Dr Monique Verschuren commented: “The importance of sleep should now be mentioned as an additional way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.” However, before this study causes panic, Doireann Maddock, of the British Heart Foundation, alleviated worries to some extent and says: “This research shows combining a good night’s sleep with other healthy lifestyle choices can reduce your risk of heart disease. But troubled sleepers should not be alarmed – this study doesn’t mean sleepless nights cause heart disease.”
