Cold weather can increase the risk of heart problems, especially for those with existing conditions. At Vasavi Hospital, our cardiologists emphasize the importance of taking precautions to protect your heart during winter.

How Cold Weather Affects the Heart

• Increased Blood Pressure: Cold temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict, raising blood pressure.

• Higher Risk of Heart Attacks: The heart works harder to maintain body heat, which can trigger heart attacks in vulnerable individuals.

Tips for Heart Health in Winter

1. Dress Warmly

• Wear layers to retain body heat and reduce the strain on your heart.

2. Avoid Overexertion

• Take breaks and avoid strenuous activities, especially outdoors.

3. Monitor Blood Pressure

• Regularly check your blood pressure to ensure it’s within a healthy range.

4. Stay Active Indoors

• Engage in light to moderate exercises like walking or yoga inside.

5. Maintain a Healthy Diet

• Limit salt intake and focus on heart-healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
