Are you a hardcore football fans? Are you extremely stressed when you are watching the match which the team you support is about to lose? If your answer is "Yes", you better take care your heart well during the World Cup Tournament...
I learned an interesting fact during a seminar yesterday, i.e. a study reported that during World Cup Tournament time, hospital admission from people having heart attack increases tremendously due to emotional stress - the example given was when Argentina beat England in a penalty shoot-out during the 1998 World Cup, there was a 25% increase in hospital admissions for heart attacks in England (You may refer to "Can Watching Soccer Give You a Heart Attack?" for details).
Oops, look like football can appear as a hazard which affect the losses arising for health / critical illness insurance...? (I never understand how the emotional stress is because I have no interest in football...)
