A member asked:
Can warm or cold weather good for the heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Temperate Best: For a healthy person there is no difference, for a heart patient a temperate climate is best to avoid excessive 'strain' to the heart in extremes of temperature. Periods of unusually cold weather are associated with increased frequency of heart attacks in areas where this results in unaccustomed exertion from shoveling snow.
