South Floridians Weather Cold Snaps

The weather is forecasted to cool down to the upper 40s this weekend. South Floridians all over are breaking out their winter wear in anticipation of the cooler temperatures.

We might blame it on our love of the endless summer that Florida offers or on our thin Floridian blood which causes us to bundle up if the temperature dips below 60 degrees.

As it turns out, the latter is a myth. No matter how long you live in Florida and are exposed to prolonged warm weather, your blood will not thin. We just have gotten used to the warm weather.

People who move from colder climates to warmer climates may benefit from fat loss because of the ability to exercise outside year-round, and shake their winter woes. Seasonal Affective Disorder is common in colder climates where it gets darker earlier in the day, but is almost non-existent in sunny South Florida!

So bundle up this weekend, stay warm and appreciate the health benefits South Florida offers.
