A silent habit could increase your heart attack risk overnight — and most older adults don’t even realize it. Doctors explain how certain nighttime behaviors can quietly damage your heart, raise blood pressure, and lead to stroke while you sleep. Understanding these triggers is vital for maintaining good senior health and preventing sudden cardiac events. For many adults over 60, lifestyle routines like late-night eating, poor sleep quality, or dehydration can raise inflammation and cholesterol, increasing the chance of heart attack. These small but powerful habits accumulate over time and become dangerous for senior health. Recognizing and correcting them early can dramatically lower your stroke and heart attack risk. Improving senior health means paying attention to how your body responds overnight. Better hydration, balanced meals, and quality sleep help protect the arteries and prevent stroke or sudden heart attack episodes. Every small change you make today helps your heart recover and stay stronger tomorrow.
