It's sunny and then it's raining, what should I do to avoid getting sick?

As explained by Dr. Vikash Modi in an article published by Piedmont Healthcare System (India), people's bodies are accustomed to certain climatic environments and when the weather changes suddenly, the body tries to adapt. But sometimes the body has difficulty adjusting, which can cause illness.

Changes in weather, such as going from hot to rainy, can make many people susceptible to illness.

Why does weather change cause illness?

Many medical experts explain that: The weather itself is not the cause of people getting sick, but this change creates a favorable environment for pathogens and disease-causing viruses to develop.

According to the medical news site Narayana Health , most adults get the flu 2-4 times a year and children 5-7 times, and these illnesses almost coincide with the number of weather changes during the year.

The immune system is affected when the weather and temperature change suddenly, and this is probably the reason for colds, coughs and headaches, according to Inquire.net.

Diseases easily caused by weather changes

Dr. Modi shares some diseases that can flare up due to sudden changes in weather:

Upper respiratory tract infections and diseases.

Chronic sinus and throat problems.

Seasonal asthma and bronchitis caused by cold air.

Seasonal allergies from pollen.

Cold and flu outbreak.

Muscle and joint pain.

Gargling with salt water is a simple way to wash away bacteria that may remain in your mouth and throat.

Ways to prevent disease when the weather is erratic

Although it is not possible to completely prevent the disease, you can protect yourself and reduce your risk of getting the disease in the following ways:

Gargle with salt water : This is a simple way to wash away bacteria that may remain in the mouth and throat.

Stay hydrated : Staying hydrated helps keep the mucous membranes in your nasal passages moist, which helps fight germs from entering your body.

Get enough sleep : Research shows that people who sleep less than 7 hours a night are 3 times more likely to catch a cold than those who sleep more than 7 hours.

Exercise : Research shows that regular light exercise — 45 minutes three to five days a week — can help make the immune system more able to fight off upper respiratory illnesses.

Wash your hands : Your hands can carry a lot of germs that you come into contact with during the day. Eat a balanced diet and focus on anti-inflammatory foods like dark leafy greens, berries, salmon and sweet potatoes. Nuts can also boost immunity during the changing seasons, according to the Times Of India.

In addition, to prevent disease and maintain good health, you should get a flu shot every year.
