“It is important for Nigerians to eat and drink appropriately during this season.
“If it is not necessary to travel, they should remain at their stations so that they will not go through unnecessary stressful situations.
“In the course of my practice over the years, I have seen an increase in cases of people coming down with heart attack during the yuletide.
“For most of these people, engaging in stressful conditions like traveling long distance had increased their risk of having heart attack,’’
