EASY WAYS TO KEEP OUR HEART HEALTHY DURING WINTERS
Cold weather is the most common health risk you
encounter in the winter, but people often view
the danger in the extreme, as hypothermia or
frostbite. However, the drop in temperature can
impact your health, specifically your heart, in
ways you may not expect.
But the vulnerability of our heart also increases
during the winter season. Incidence of human
casualties due to heart disease and stroke
increases during the winter season.

HOW DOES WINTER AFFECT HEART HEALTH?
In cold weather, the probability of people
getting sick with the common cold, fever, and flu
increases. Winter can be more severe for heart
patients. A decrease in temperature may result in
many changes in our body, such as

• The heart has to work twice to maintain blood
  supply and keep our body warm.
• The reduced temperature may cause constriction of
  blood vessels.
• Chances of developing blood clots also increase
  in winter.
• Blood pressure and blood cholesterol level may
  also increase in winter.

HOW DOES THE WINTER AFFECT HEART PATIENTS?
Decreased temperature causes an increase in the
bodys sympathetic nervous system activation
resulting in constriction of blood vessels
(vasoconstriction). This vasoconstriction may
increase blood pressure, making it difficult for
the heart to pump blood to body parts. This
increased pressure may cause an increased risk of
angina, heart attack, arrhythmia, and other
cardiovascular diseases in people with ongoing
heart conditions.
The emotional stress of the holiday season has
also been shown to increase the level of stress
hormones and, consequently, the risk of heart
attack or stroke.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES IN WINTER
DURING THE WINTER SEASON, LOW TEMPERATURE,
POLLUTION, AND OTHER FACTORS MAY INCREASE THE
RISK OF HEART DISEASES. FOLLOWING ARE SOME
PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO KEEP IN MIND TO KEEP YOUR
HEART HEALTHY

• Keeping yourself warm is of utmost importance. If
  you are prone to cold weather, try to cover
  yourself with a sufficient layer of clothes to
  keep your body warm.
• Stay active physically. It is not necessary to
  exercise outdoor. You can do indoor activities
  like light aerobics, yoga, home workouts,
  dancing, or meditation. Regular exercise keeps
  your body warm and helps in staying fit.
• Eat a healthy diet in winter. Avoid fried, fatty,
  sweet food, and high cholesterol food that can
  increase the risk of heart diseases.

• Keep a close watch on medical conditions like
  diabetes, blood pressure, kidney, and vascular
  problems. These conditions, if left unchecked,
  make you more prone to heart conditions.
• Dont overexert yourself. Try to avoid heavy and
  strenuous work if you are a heart patient and
  take small intervals between work to rest.
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption.
• Quit smoking as it increases the risk of heart
  conditions.
• Consume warm food during winter to maintain your
  body warm.
• If you are a heart patient, you should stay
  indoors on chilly days to prevent sudden cold
  strokes.

HOW TO DETECT IF YOU ARE HAVING A HEART PROBLEM?
Not all heart condition comes with warning signs.
Always remain vigilant about any signs and
immediately seek medical attention. If you are
experiencing any of the following symptoms, get
an immediate check-up
In the cold, your heart works extra hard to
maintain a healthy body temperature. Winter wind
can make this more difficult because it causes
your body to lose heat more quickly. If your body
temperature drops below 95 degrees, hypothermia
can damage your heart muscle.

• Pain or any discomfort in the chest
• Some people may experience heartburn,
  indigestion, and stomach pain during a heart
  attack
• Sometimes chest pain is not evident, but the pain
  in the shoulder and arm is present.
• Dizziness
• Shortness of breath and wheezing
• Long-lasting cough in a heart patient
• Easily get tired
• Sweating without physical activity

The cold weather can be difficult for your heart.
But with a proper lifestyle, you can make your
heart enjoy this beautiful season. Also, do not
ignore any symptoms and immediately consult your
doctor.
