It should be said about these “heart attack” episodes during major matches—championships, whether football, handball, or any other sport.
People eat excessively, often overeating. Some follow heavy meat-based diets, consuming up to a kilogram of meat in one sitting, along with a liter of strong alcohol. Then they begin to feel chest pain, as if their heart hurts, and struggle to breathe.
In some cases, there’s also a desire to be at the center of attention—to steal the show, even if only for a moment during a derby match.
Little by little, such deviant behavior can become a habit. It is often said that any action repeated consistently—perhaps a dozen times—can turn into a habit.
Back in 1998, it took about two years for this kind of obesity epidemic to be reflected in official health bulletins.
