We can't stop the weather from changing, but we can certainly prevent our health from deteriorating. Just a few simple steps, and you'll be able to say hello and hi to the transition period with ease!
Weather changes impact health: Changing seasons isn't always easy for our bodies. As we transition from summer to monsoon or from monsoon to winter, the risk of illness increases exponentially. This has a direct impact on our immunity, breathing, and skin. Most people suffer from coughs, colds, sore throats, and fevers during this time. The problem is that it's often difficult to determine whether the problem is due to a viral infection or an allergy.

Viral symptoms
Viral infections are usually associated with fever and body aches. Allergies are more common, such as sneezing, a runny nose, and watery eyes. Doctors recommend getting tested and examined if symptoms persist for 3–4 days.

Fluctuations in air humidity and temperature during changing seasons pose significant challenges for asthma patients. A 2023 study published in the Journal of Asthma found that the risk of an asthma attack increases by 30 percent during seasonal transitions. Dust particles in cold air further constrict the airways.

As the weather begins to cool, skin dryness, dandruff, and fungal infections increase rapidly. Meanwhile, the elderly and those suffering from arthritis may experience stiffness and pain in their joints. Several studies have found that cold temperatures and low-pressure environments cause joint tissue to shrink, increasing pain and stiffness. So, what are some ways to boost your immunity and say goodbye to these problems?
Measures to avoid viral
Research shows that foods rich in vitamin C and zinc (lemon, amla, jaggery, and green vegetables) boost immunity during changing seasons. Warm water and steam inhalation can help prevent respiratory problems, while moisturizers and anti-fungal care can protect the skin. Most importantly, light exercise and sun exposure in early winter can be beneficial for joints.
