Temperate Climate is Good for your Health

Hi:

Want to live longer? Well, when you realize out what extreme weather, both good and bad, can do for your health, you may decide to exit your home town, pronto, and move to a temperate climate.

First of all, cold weather brings on all sorts of aches and pains. If your arthritis does not prevent it, you can run to the next plane. “Cold damp days mean aching bones and joints for arthritis suffers”, says Environment Canada’s EnviroZine. So does rising humidity, rapidly falling barometric pressure and gusty winds, says Intellicast. My Doctor tells me that almost every person over forty years old has some degree of arthritis.

Who would have thought that changes in barometric pressure could cause so much havoc? EnviroZine states that rates of heart attacks increase with changes in air masses. This article also notes that blood pressure changes with outside temperatures, as does the blood clot rate.

Extreme heat creates problems as well. More about that tomorrow.
