As the weather changes rapidly, taking care of your heart becomes increasingly important. Winter, with its drop in temperature and rising pollution levels, poses a dual threat to cardiovascular health. Ignoring the warning signs of heart trouble can have severe consequences, especially during this season.
Cold weather causes arteries to shrink, leading to increased blood pressure and added stress on the heart. This increases the likelihood of heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems. Additionally, decreased physical activity during winter, as people prefer to stay indoors, contributes to a higher risk of heart issues. Those with respiratory problems are particularly vulnerable, as conditions like pneumonia can elevate the chances of heart failure sixfold.
Cardiovascular disease is a growing concern, with a 60% increase in related deaths over the past three decades. Annually, 20 million people succumb to heart attacks globally. To maintain heart health:
