Cold weather raises blood pressure

With the decline in temperatures during the winter season, blood pressure is significantly affected, tending to rise due to the constriction of blood vessels caused by the cold, which requires greater pressure to circulate the blood. This increase is especially noticeable in individuals aged over 65, and is attributed to sudden weather changes such as passing air masses and storms, as well as other seasonal factors like weight gain, consumption of salty foods, and decreased physical activity during winter. Therefore, it is important to regularly monitor blood pressure throughout the season, and to follow simple precautions such as wearing warm clothing, exercising indoors, adhering to a healthy diet, and taking prescribed blood pressure medications to keep levels within a healthy range.
