Now that the cold and snow are getting here make sure you are taking care of yourself and your house in a healthy way.
If it snows and you're going to be shoveling make sure you are shoveling correctly.
Shovel with your legs, lifting from your knees and upper legs when you shovel.
Don't use your back as it can lead to strains.
Take breaks as cold weather puts extra strain on the heart.
Also make sure you dress warmly, using layers of clothing helps to avoid hypothermia.
Lastly watch out for ice.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found many cold weather injuries result from falls on ice covered walkways.
