Cold weather

It's cold outside,
The snow is falling,
It's time for our kids to have fun.
Here are 5 safety tips to follow:

(1) Layer up. Dressing in layers helps insulate the body without overheating. The layer closest to the skin should be a moisture wicking material.This material pulls the sweat away from your body and prevents you from overheating.
(2) Warm up. After coming inside, take off all wet clothing immediately and put on fresh, dry clothes. Be sure to cover the wrists, toes and ankles to help keep body heat trapped. A cup of hot chocolate helps as well to warm up your hands.
(3) All helmets are not created equal. Snow sports-related head injuries – like concussions – are becoming more frequent. Particularly in the 7-17 year old range, making helmets a must according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The helmet should be approved and meet the required safety recommendations for that particular sport. The helmet should fit comfortably, but snug, on the head without movement forward or backward.
(4) Take frequent breaks. Playing in the snow can be a lot of fun – but there is a smart way to do it. Be sure to take breaks every 30-40 minutes.
(5) Beware of the danger. When you check on kids, take a look at their skin. If their skin is pale, grey or blistering on the fingers, ears, nose or toes, it could be frostbite. Submerge the affected area under running warm (not hot!) water for 15-30 minutes. Shivering, slurred speech and clumsiness may be a sign of hypothermia. If you think your child has hypothermia, call 911 immediately.

have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend

Pool Safety: Always supervise weaker swimmers around water. Appoint someone as lifeguard, rather than assuming one of your partygoers is keeping an eye on swimmers. Make sure younger children are within arm’s reach in the pool, and never drink alcohol while swimming or supervising swimmers.

Keep a watchful eye on drink coolers. As the ice melts, these items can become a drowning hazard for curious toddlers who look in the cooler and are unable to get themselves out.

Sun Protection: Consider providing shade, like umbrellas or covered picnic areas, to reduce sun exposure for yourself and your guests. A hat and sunglasses can offer extra coverage. Don’t forget to reapply the sunscreen after two hours of sun exposure.

Fire and Grill Safety: Make sure your grill has been thoroughly cleaned. Dirty grills cause many injuries, particularly propane grills. Keep items that you don’t want grilled away from the flame, and don’t wear loose clothing while you grill.

After your barbecue is over, make sure coals are completely out, and the propane is turned off.

Drink Responsibly:  If alcohol is part of your celebration, decide in advance how much alcohol you are going to be drinking, and stick to your plan.

The National Institutes of Health advises men from age 21 to 65 to have no more than four drinks in a day. Women should have no more than three, according to the institutes. Consume plenty of water in addition to your beverage of choice and don’t drink on an empty stomach.

Do not drink and drive. Elect a designated driver or find alternate transportation home.

Remember that stress can make heart conditions worse as it increases the risk for diabetes. Not only that, the body makes hormones in response to stress which can play a huge role in causing inflammation in the arteries that could be dangerous. Stress also leads people to handle anxiety in unhealthy ways like too much drinking or overeating or smoking. One cannot prevent stress completely. But there are a few ways to deal with it when it happens.

Read on:
Exercise- For a heart condition, exercise is one of the best things that you can do as it not only improves physical health but also improves the mood and cuts stress. Aim for at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week of moderately intense activity. Take a brisk walk, swim, bike, or do just about anything that gets your heart.

Do Something New- Change your outlook towards life to come out of stress as feeling stressed out and sick can put you in a rut.

1. Visit a restaurant you haven’t been to before
2. Listen to a different style of music
3. Learn a foreign language
4. Spend more time outdoors than indoors

Be Helpful- Helping others can take your mind off troubles and can boost your spirit when you are feeling worried and unwell.

Go for Active Relaxation- Some of the good options include mindfulness, yoga, tai chi, meditation which can help you in effectively managing your stress.

Avoid Triggers- Try and put yourself in situations that engage you. Spend time with people you love and with whom you feel calm and comfortable with.

Get Adequate Sleep- Aim for 7 to 9 hours of restful shut-eye at night as lack of sleep seems to raise levels of cortisol, a stress hormone.

Take Help- Do vent out or talk with someone you are comfortable with if you feel that stress is getting in the way of your life. You can consult a psychiatrist or therapist for help. Airing your concerns with a sympathetic ear can help you discover new ways to approach your problems. It will help you to release the stress in the most effective manner.

These are some of the ways that can help you in effectively managing your stress. You need to manage your stress in order to keep your heart healthy.

What is the difference between a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest?

What is the difference between a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest?

Because sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) contains the words "cardiac arrest," people automatically assume that it is the same as a heart attack. While the two conditions are similar in many ways, they are very different in others. The circulatory system inside of your body that moves blood to and from the heart is often compared to the plumbing in a house. When the "pipes" are clear, blood moves freely from the heart to the organs, muscles, and tissues where it is needed. When the arteries become blocked with excessive amounts of plaque, blood does not move as efficiently. Eventually, the reduced blood supply to the heart causes parts of the heart muscle to die. Someone who is having a heart attack might complain of chest pain, numbness down one arm, shortness of breath, nausea, or dizziness.

On the other hand, when sudden cardiac arrest happens, the heart stops pumping blood through the body and instead begins to beat in an unorganized way. This "quivering," known as fibrillation, causes the person experiencing it to pass out or collapse and begin gasping. As the brain stops receiving blood from the heart, the person may even experience a seizure that lasts for 10 to 30 seconds. While a heart attack can certainly lead to SCA, it is possible to have a heart attack without it.
