Winter begins across the country in October and November. Lowering the temperature gives you relief from the scorching heat and humidity, but this season can also increase the risk of many types of diseases and infections. It is quite common for people with weak immunity to suffer from cold and cough along with influenza infection at the beginning of winter.
Health experts say that all people need to take special precautions regarding health in this season, especially attention should be paid to those measures that help increase the body's immunity.
Doctors say colds, flu, and other respiratory diseases are very common during the cold months. People often stay indoors, which makes it easier for viruses like flu to spread from one person to another, which is why more cases of cold and fever are being seen these days. People with weak immunity have a higher risk of becoming victims of these diseases.
Immunity can become weak during winter days
Weak immunity can not only make you a victim of many types of diseases, but it is also important to keep in mind that cold weather weakens your immunity even more. In winter, when cold air enters the nose and upper airways, the body is not as effective in fighting viruses, hence viral infections like the common cold, flu, and COVID-19 increase easily during these days.
Immunity problems and cold and fever
Health experts say that people who have weak immunity have an increased risk of contracting infectious diseases like flu. Apart from this, if you are having fever again and again then it is a sign that your immune system is overworking. Usually, this happens due to some infection.
For example, if your immunity is weak then your risk of falling prey to infectious diseases is also higher. These infectious diseases can be prevented by strengthening the immune system.
There is also a risk of headaches in winter
According to a report in the Journal of Headache Pain, there may be a direct relation between falling temperature and headache. As the temperature falls, barometric pressure decreases. This condition may increase your headache-sinus problem. Dry conditions in the air can damage sensitive sinus membranes, making headaches and migraine pain worse.
How to prevent these diseases
To reduce the problem of cold and fever during winter, it is most important that you take measures to strengthen your immunity. For this, along with increasing the intake of nutritious food, make a habit of regular exercise. Increasing immunity is a continuous process, continuous efforts should be made for it. A strong immune system also helps protect you from the risk of chronic diseases.
