Watauga Democrat (2017)
  • Dr. Rebecca Kappus, Appalachian State University
Abstract
The holiday season is here, and so is one of the unhealthiest times of the year for many of us: weight gain, added stress, unhealthy eating and little to no time for exercise, which results in strain on our cardiovascular system. Studies suggest increased cardiovascular disease risk during winter months, with a peak around the holidays.
