Do not let the fluffy stuff fool you!! Snow shoveling can be more dangerous than any other activity around your house. Besides the common back strain and muscle soreness, it is not uncommon for people to have heart attacks. This happens as a result of increased heart rate and blood pressure coupled with the body's natural reflex to the colder temperatures of constriction of arteries and blood vessels. Certain groups of people should not be shoveling such as those who have had previous heart attacks, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or lead a sedentary life. At the very least consult your health practitioner before attempting to shovel.
