"Winter Warnings: The Silent Risks of Hypertension and Strokes Amidst Sub-Zero Temperatures"
During winter, individuals with hypertension face an increased risk of stroke due to the cold-induced constriction of blood vessels, which can raise blood pressure. Seasonal lifestyle changes, such as decreased physical activity and dietary shifts, can exacerbate this issue. Regular blood pressure monitoring and consultation with healthcare professionals are crucial for managing this risk. Adopting winter wellness strategies, including indoor exercise, a low-sodium diet, stress management, and staying hydrated, can help mitigate these seasonal health risks.
