Snow Shoveling: The Surprising Winter Heart Hazard

Think shoveling snow is just another chore? It can be as taxing on your heart as a high-intensity workout, especially if you're not physically prepared. Here's what you need to know before grabbing that shovel.

Why Snow Shoveling is Dangerous

  • Heart Strain: It spikes your heart rate and blood pressure - just like an intense workout. 
  • Cold Weather: Freezing air constricts blood vessels, making your heart work harder
  • Overexertion: Heavy lifting combined with holding your breath can create the perfect storm for a heart attack.

Studies show heart attack risks rise after heavy snowfalls, with men particularly vulnerable


Who's at Risk? 

  • Adults over 45
  • Anyone with heart disease, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol
  • Smokers, diabetics, or those who are sedentary or obese
  • People recovering from a heart attack or stroke


Warning Signs of Heart Trouble

Stop immediately and call 911 if you experience:

  • Chest pain or pressure
  • Lightheadedness
  • Irregular heartbeat or palpitations


How to Shovel Safely (If You Must)

  1. Outsource It: Hire help or use a snow blower to ease the strain.
  2. Push Don't Lift: Push snow instead of throwing it.
  3. Go Light: Use a smaller shovel or lift less snow at a time.
  4. Dress Warmly: Cover your mouth and nose to warm the air you breath
  5. Take Breaks: Shovel in small intervals and listen to your body.
  6. Avoid Risks: Skip shoveling after eating or drinking alcohol.


Pro Tip: Attach this label to your shovel:

"WARNING: Snow removal may be hazardous to your health!"

Snow shoveling isn't worth risking your heart. Stay safe, stay warm, and when in doubt, let someone else handle it!
