Doctor David Bertoncini, from the South Bend Clinic, explains the risks of shoveling people don’t always consider. While cold weather injuries -- like frost bite and hypothermia -- should be top of mind when shoveling, heart attacks are just as consequential. "If you have heart disease and you don't have to shovel your snow, if you can hire someone to shovel snow for you have a family member shovel the snow," Doctor Bertoncini urges. Another important aspect Doctor Bertoncini addresses is dressing in layers to stay warm. This will keep people safe in cold temperatures and while doing outdoor chores.
