Warning, people with weak hearts can die clearing snow

This article is from 2014, but due to the weather conditions in the USA, China and some places in Europe, I think it should be read.

This is a good reminder.

Snow shoveling can be a dangerous activity, particularly for older people. They're typically in poorer condition with inner thermostats that don't work as well as they used to. So, if you have an older neighbor help 'em out by offering to shovel for them.

My father died this way. The snow killed him. He has heart problems but we have the impression the hospital did not follow well his case. The fact is that one morning of winter he went outside to take out snow from in front of the house. And died there.

Clearing snow is a very strong exercise that you do with your arms, and even if snow is light after time you pump a lot. In Canada some people died this way. Maybe the cold enter in consideration in this case, cold, strong exercise with your arms. And age, also I imagine.
