Personal Injury Lawyer\u00a0|\u00a0Safety in the Snow<\/h2>\n

Personal Injury Lawyer\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0When it comes to weathering the cold, you probably know the basics, like keeping your head covered in order to lower your risk of hypothermia and making sure that the elderly and children are adequately bundled since they are more at risk of dropping body temperatures. But here are some tips from experts that might not be so obvious, and could keep you safe throughout the snowy season.<\/p>\n

Be extra careful if you have a chronic medical condition:<\/strong>\u00a0Chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure and the cold weather don\u2019t mix. According to\u00a0Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency medicine physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York,\u00a0cold temperatures and extra physical activity from shoveling snow can be risky, since the cold tends to shrink blood vessels, making the heart pump harder to keep blood flowing to fingers and toes. The combination can significantly increase your risk for a heart attack, especially for those with a history of hypertension, heart disease and stroke.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t drink and shovel:<\/strong>\u00a0Avoid heading out to shovel after downing a cup of coffee or an alcoholic beverage, because drinking can lead to dehydration.\u00a0Drinking alcohol can also hasten heat loss, and impair your ability to tell how cold you are while outside.\u00a0Take breaks while you shovel, and remember to drink water to stay hydrated. Stop shoveling if you start feeling dizzy, or if you\u00a0experience\u00a0chest pain or difficulty breathing, and call 911.<\/p>\n

Use a smaller shovel or a snowblower:<\/strong>\u00a0Your blood pressure can sometimes rise sharply if you are lifting heavy snow, so Glatter recommends lifting smaller amounts even if it takes more shovelfuls to clear your driveway, or using a blower to push the snow.\u00a0Remember\u00a0to bend your knees to avoid back injuries.<\/p>\n

Hold an object or bag in your dominant hand:\u00a0<\/b>This could help you to avoid braking a dominant hand or arm if you fall on the ice, according to orthopaedic surgeons from New York\u2019s Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Since falls happen fast, people often instinctively try to break their fall with their dominant hands and arms \u2014 the right side for right-handers, and the left for left-handers \u2014 making everyday life difficult during recovery. If you hold something in your dominant hand, you are less likely to use it when you fall, and therefore less likely to injure it severely.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo the Shuffle\u201d:<\/b>\u00a0 If you are walking across ice, shuffle your feet by moving them very slightly apart as you shoot across the ice. This gives you better balance on slippery surfaces.<\/p>\n
