Theories Regarding Heart Disease and Cold
Weather
There are several theories regarding heart disease and cold
weather. Due to the many different theories and sometimes urban
legend of heart disease and cold weather, studies about it have
sprung up. Many theories regarding heart disease and cold
weather are really ridiculous while some have some basis of
truth in them.
Analysis
Some people have surmised that heart disease and cold weather
are a great combination because in the cold we do not exert
ourselves too much and everybody is really cool headed. This
can also be taken as sign that there is less stress in living
in cold places compared to warmer places.
Actually, wherever you are (warm or cold weather) the amount of
stress that you receive is dependent on what you are doing.
Relaxed and stressed out people are all the same in warm and
cold weather places. With regards to food, people is cold
places might eat less fatty foods compared to those in warmer
places because fats tend to congeal faster in cold places,
making them less appealing to look at and to eat. So, many
people assume that those who have heart disease and live in
cold weather are better off.
On the other hand, people who live in warmer places have the
tendency to overheat, causing substantial stress on the body
and may accelerate heart rate as well. This can lead to risks
of death and disability due to heart disease. In warmer
weather, there are also more food options, whether healthy or
not.
One theory regarding heart disease and cold weather is that the
cold can actually play havoc on the fats in our system and
contribute to build up due to fats moving slower in cold
weather. Although, fats can congeal faster in cold weather, the
temperature in our bodies is the same no matter where you are
in the world. This means that fats will not solidify faster
inside the bodies of people who live in cold places.
Another idea regarding heart disease and cold weather is that
the cold can lead to less physical exertion. This means we
sweat less in cold weather due to having reduced heat. This
implies that our body fats are not used up properly and may
result to having too much of them in our bodies contributing to
heart disease.
The many theories, ideas and urban legends surrounding heart
disease and cold weather may seem ridiculous but there are some
that can be true. Studies can bring out the truth in the many
theories about heart disease and cold weather.
