Summertime is here and many people enjoy being outdoors, enjoying the warmth of the sun and participating in summer activities. For some, however, the sun and its associated heat can be dangerous. Heart patients in particular can experience negative effects from prolonged exposure to sunlight and heat.

People who suffer from abnormal blood pressure, congestive heart failure, vascular problems and other circulatory issues are at higher risk of developing heat exhaustion or heat stroke when in hot conditions for prolonged periods of time. Certain medications, such as calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, diuretics and ace inhibitors can affect the normal response mechanisms of the body to becoming overheated.

How does the winter solstice affect the seasons?

The winter solstice doesn't affect the seasons. The Earth is tilted, and as it travels around the sun, different parts of it get more or less tilted towards us, which causes the seasons. A solstice is just a point that is reached twice a year, where the Earth's tilt to and from the sun is at its maximum, usually on the 21st of June and the 21st of December. When it is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, it is the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere and it is the same the other way around. A winter solstice marks the point for that hemisphere when it is at its maximum tilt away from the sun and when the days stop getting shorter and start to get longer. It will still be winter there for a bit longer, but spring will soon follow.
