COLD WEATHER AND BLOOD PRESSURE
You see this cold season?
It’s sweet on the skin…
But deadly for your blood vessels.
Most Nigerians over 50 don’t know:
Once the body gets cold,
The blood vessels shrink.
And BP starts to rise small-small — without warning.
That’s why your head dey heavy.
That’s why neck dey stiff in the morning.
That’s why your heart dey beat anyhow.
It’s not malaria.
It’s not age.
It’s not “body weakness”.
It’s BP.
Reacting to cold.
Here’s how to protect yourself👇🏽
✅ Drink warm water first thing every morning
It opens up your arteries gently
Better than jumping into food or bitter leaf on empty stomach
✅ No bathing with cold water early morning
Use lukewarm.
Your heart no like cold shock after sleep
✅ Cover your chest and feet at night
Especially from 6pm till morning
Cold enters through your skin and lungs
✅ Coconut water + garlic — 2x weekly
Helps relax your arteries
✅ No long fasting with BP drugs
Cold + hunger = recipe for dizzy spell
Wisdom is better than pride
Don’t wait for stroke signs
Cold BP is a silent killer
You’ll look “fine” until your heart gives signals.
