New research out of Sweden shows a 37 per cent increase in the chances of having a heart attack on Christmas Eve - the Swedish equivalent to Christmas Day in New Zealand.
The research from Lund University looked at nearly 300,000 heart attacks over a 16-year period, with a 15 per cent increased heart attack risk overall during the Christmas period. Speaking to the media, Dr Paul Bridgman warned of the reasons behind the heightened risk. "People should be careful," he began. "They should think, 'Gee, all that pre-Christmas stress can have an effect on me. "It can affect my physical health." Dr Bridgman is involved in an ongoing University of Otago Christchurch study into broken heart syndrome, and says that this new research is closely linked to the latest findings. "There's no doubt that stress can do a lot of things to the heart," he said. "It can cause a broken heart, and it can cause a heart attack." The risk is even greater for those over 75 with pre-existing heart problems. Dr Bridgman's advice to those for surviving the silly season is simple: "People like me don't want to be called in on Christmas Day. People should take it easy and look after each other."

Instead of encouraging people to be overly cautious during the silly season, we wanted to share our injury prevention tips in a more interesting way.
Based on the traditional Christmas song we all know and love, we created a video series featuring 12 weird and not so wonderful injuries we saw from last Christmas, and tips on how to avoid them!
Give our 12 Days of ACC Christmas video series a watch. From everyone at ACC we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and happy new year.
