Winter conditions can worsen existing health problems, especially for people aged 65 and over, or those with heart disease, kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma or diabetes. Being cold can also cause your blood pressure to rise, potentially increasing the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
But, there are lots of things you can do to stay well this winter.
