Brrr! Winter is here, and while the frosty weather brings festive vibes, it also brings a chilly reminder: cold temperatures can increase the risk of heart attacks and worsen symptoms for those with underlying health conditions.
But don’t worry—we’ve got some simple tips to help you stay warm and healthy:
Keep your home warm: Aim for at least 18°C in your living spaces, especially if you’re sitting still for long periods.
Layer up: Opt for multiple thin layers rather than one thick one to trap heat more effectively.
Fuel your body: Enjoy hot drinks and warm, nourishing meals to maintain your core temperature.
Stay active: Light movement, even walking around the house, helps boost circulation and keep you feeling toasty.
Don’t forget to check in on elderly neighbours or friends—they may need a little extra help staying warm. Let’s all keep safe, snug, and smiling this winter!
