Humidity and Your Heart

Summertime and heat and humidity seem to go hand in hand. For most it is just uncomfortable but for seniors it can be deadly. A new study from Greece found that the number of fatal heart attacks increased when the humidity was high. It seems when heat waves hit seniors are the group that suffers the most.Keep an eye on the weather and limit your outdoor activity on those days when the temperatures are at their highest. Be sure to drink lots of water. If you are younger, be sure to check in with your loved ones to be sure they are OK when the weather is a risk.
