Somewhere between October and November, the
bright sunny summer days give way to the grey
cold winds of winter and soon winter comes
knocking on the door. While winter brings
Christmas gifts, it also brings with it a bag
full of unpleasantness in the form of diseases.
These diseases may be something innocuous like
the cold and cough to the more sinuous like heart
attacks and heartburn. Here is a list of diseases
that commonly occur during winter and the ways
and means to prevent them.

1. Heart Attacks
Most of us are unaware that winter is the prime
season for heart attacks. A drop in temperature
causes constriction in blood vessels making it
difficult for the heart to pump blood. People
above the age of 30 should avoid strenuous
exercises. Instead of going for a walk in chilly
mornings, shift it to a time when it is slightly
sunny. Also, it is best to stay away from oily,
fried food during this season and to consume food
in small portions.

3. Dry and irritable skin
Low humidity in the air during winters result in
excessive skin dryness and peeling. This is
easily cured with frequent application of
moisturizers or coconut oil.

4. Joint pain
Decreasing temperature can also cause aches in
joints and stiffness in the body. Wear two or
three pairs of thin clothing instead of one pair
of heavy warm clothes. Also, basking in the sun
and some light warm up exercises can ease the
pain.

5. Sinusitis
Congestion in throat, headaches, coughing and
running nose are common occurrences in the
winter. Avoid this by drinking plenty of water
and eating green healthy vegetables. Also, ensure
that your home has proper ventilation as closed
spaces can make the symptoms worse.
Some precaution can help prevent a prolonged
period of illness. This winter, stay fit and in
the pink of health by following the
aforementioned tips to deal with winter diseases.
