The health of our heart is of utmost importance and due cardiac care must be taken to ensure that the heart stays in a healthy and robust condition at all times. Owing to factors like unhealthy lifestyle practices, smoking, excessive drinking, chronic stress, lack of exercise etc, the cardiac health of a person gets impacted severely and often, a minor issue with blood circulation escalates into a full blown heart disorder, if due care is not taken. Heart disorders were earlier perceived to be associated with old age groups. However, as the growing trends now reflect, even young adults are falling victims to coronary disorders due to many reasons like unhealthy lifestyle choices.

Among the various factors that have an effect on the heart condition of a person, the outside weather and general climate also counts among the chief ones.

In winters, when the external temperature takes a dip, the heart pumps blood in such a manner that the body temperature is maintained.

The heart muscles and the blood circulation system, owing to the burdened mechanism are vulnerable to many ill conditions and disorders, if proper attention is not given.

For certain vulnerable segments of society, like senior or super senior citizens and people who already have a heart condition, it is very essential to remain more careful about their heart during the winters. There is a direct correlation between the varying cold temperatures and the onset of heart-related disorders. One more important factor is the overall lack of proper sunlight in winters.
