Cold weather impacts more than just comfort; it affects your heart too. Winter is a time when heart attack risks increase due to a combination of low temperatures and lifestyle changes. Understanding these risks can help you take proactive measures.
Cold temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict, raising blood pressure and increasing the workload on the heart. This is particularly concerning for people with existing heart conditions. At Vasavi Hospital, we emphasize the importance of regular blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring during winter.
Stay active indoors with exercises like yoga or brisk walking to maintain cardiovascular fitness. A warm diet with heart-healthy foods like oats, nuts, and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids can strengthen your heart. Avoid overindulging in sugary or fatty winter treats.
If you experience chest discomfort or unusual fatigue, seek medical attention immediately. Vasavi Hospital offers advanced diagnostic and treatment options for heart conditions, ensuring your heart stays healthy this winter.
