(Starting this January)

During the winter months the risk of having a heart attack or stroke increases. It is important to know what the risks are and to put measures in place to ensure you and your family stay safe. A drop in environmental temperature reduces your body temperature. This means the heart must work harder to keep you warm which increases your heart rate. In addition, in cold weather, blood vessels contract to minimise heat loss, which increases blood pressure. While this is a natural process, it can be a cause for concern in those who are more vulnerable. For example adults over 65, those with long-term health conditions and those who are overweight and live less healthy lifestyles.

Another common definition is that myths offer explanations of otherwise mysterious natural events, often ascribed to supernatural beings. Many feel that in our modern rational and technological age such stories are obsolete and of no relevance, belonging as they do to traditional cultures of the past.
