Did you know?
Shoveling snow is a significant heart risk because cold weather constricts blood vessels, raising blood pressure, while the strenuous, sudden exertion (especially lifting heavy snow) dramatically increases heart rate and workload, creating a "perfect storm" for heart attacks
❤With the upcoming snow, remember these heart-safety tips!
Prevent--Clear snow early and often. Lowers your chances of having to move heavy, packed snow.
Push--Try to push snow instead of lifting it.
Protect--Don't throw snow over your side, which can stress your back.
Pace--Take plenty of breaks and drink lots of water.
Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!
