As we all are aware and experiencing sudden changes in weather conditions recently. The weather seems to be uncertain as we saw a rise in the temperature last week, suddenly there is a considerable drop in day & night temperatures in the current week.
These rapid weather changes are adversely affecting the health of many of us resulting in a large number of cases of cold, sore throat and fever. It is therefore essential for each one of us to take special care of ourselves so that we do not fall prey to any illness due to the sudden changes in the weather.
Some of the Dos and Don’ts that will keep you healthy during this season are:
Do’s
1) Carry warm clothes with you all the time especially in the night
2) Eat a balanced diet which will keep your body warm
3) Make sure to sleep in a dark room to ensure your body properly gets enough rest which is believed to help repair the immune system.
4) Practice joint stretches at regular intervals (once in 20 min). It helps to keep the fluid around the joints warm so as you do not get sudden pain when you get up from your chair
5) The winter proves to be particularly rude towards the skin. Ensure that you moisturize your skin adequately every day, before stepping out into the cold.
6) Wash your hands regularly to protect yourself and your family from possible flu viruses that can cause mess in the winter season.
7) Drink warm water if you feel irritation in your throat
8) Eat fruits and vegetables that are currently in-season; they will taste much better than out-of-season produce and help your body keep fit for the weather
9) Massage the sole of your feet with warm sesame oil before going to bed.
Don’ts
1) Don’t drink cold drinks and eat Ice Cream.
2) Don’t drink cold water.
3) Don't go outside with your hair wet. It will increase the chances of cold and fever.
