Beware of other winter diseases
Amidst the fear of corona, winter infections such as the common cold, flu, RSV, cough, and strep throat are some other common diseases, which can cause common disease-like symptoms. These include fever, sore throat, cough, body ache, fatigue, runny nose, and more. If you are frequently exposed to these diseases, and regularly developing flu-like symptoms, it could be that your immunity is weak, you are not taking necessary precautions or you are deficient in Vitamin D.
Weak Immunity
Your body's immune system is what protects you from foreign pathogens that cause infection. If you have compromised immunity, you may be more prone to infection. This can be due to several factors including poor nutrition, insufficient sleep, increased stress, etc. The body's immune system becomes weak. In such a situation, you must eat foods that boost your immunity, get enough sleep, exercise daily, and reduce your stress levels.
Necessary precautions
Apart from taking care of yourself, you should also take care of your surroundings. Avoid crowded places, wear a mask, maintain social distancing and wash your hands frequently with water or sanitizer. These are the measures that can reduce your risk of corona and other respiratory infections.
Vitamin D Deficiency
Winter can be a difficult season. Though it certainly provides you some respite from the hot, humid summers. You may be at risk of vitamin D deficiency during the winter season. Not getting enough sunshine vitamin can weaken your immunity and increase the chances of many diseases.
