As temperatures fall during the winter months, people tend to be less active and have slower blood circulation which increase the risks of
colds, asthma, bronchitis, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease.

Colds, Asthma, and Bronchitis:

• The combination of low temperatures and frequent weather changes increases the likelihood of developing a cold. Children and the elderly are especially susceptible as well as are people who suffer from asthma, chronic bronchitis, and bronchiectasis, all of which can be induced more easily with the onset of colder temperatures.

Coronary heart disease and Cerebrovascular disease:

• A more sedentary lifestyle during the cold weather season coupled with previous chronic coronary heart or cerebrovascular disease increases the risk of thrombi (blood clots), vascular congestion, and ruptures of the blood vessels.Staying warm and boosting your circulation are especially important throughout the cold winter season.
