Cases of heart attacks increase in winter season. According to experts, the arteries shrink and harden in the cold, due to which blood flow slows down and blood pressure increases, which can lead to death due to heart attack. Therefore, doctors advise heart patients to take special precautions in winter. These include people who have any heart-related disease, high blood pressure problem, diabetics, elderly people and people who have a family history of heart disease. So these people need to take special care at this time.
According to Dr. Varun Bansal, Senior Cardiologist, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, such people should take special care during the winter season and should also follow these tips-
1. Take special care of food and drink
Dr. Bansal says that we eat more in winter, especially on festive days, so we should take special care of our food and drink during this period. We should not consume excess amount of fats and carbohydrates, but we should consume whole grains and whole fruits. This reduces our risk of heart attack. Because fat raises cholesterol levels, it increases the risk of heart attack.
2. Exercise regularly
According to Dr. Bansal, we should exercise regularly to avoid the risk of heart attack. We can do cycling and aerobics at home. Also we should avoid going out in extreme cold. Even the elderly should go outside only when there is some sunshine outside.
3. Take medicine regularly
Doctors say to avoid heart attack take medicines regularly, don't miss any of your dose, even if you have to go out, keep your medicines with you so that you don't miss any medicine.
4. Get regular checkups
The best way to avoid a heart attack is to get yourself checked up periodically. Also, a complete report card of your health is in front of you from time to time, which helps the doctor to take appropriate action. So, get yourself checked regularly and don't ignore any symptoms. By doing this you will only be playing with your health.
