Major Health concerns in the winter season and their treatment

Irrespective of age, depending on the illness/disease, there are certain health-related
issues that people must take care of in the winter season:

1. Liver disease
   Hepatitis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and hepatomegaly (inflammation of the liver) are all
   major health issues that occur in the winter. The sudden spike in temperature and
   chilly winter winds are the major reasons behind severe liver diseases.
2. Kidney Disease
   The extreme fluctuation in temperatures due to harsh winters and fluctuating
   temperatures during summer can cause severe kidney problems. It can lead to
   damage to the kidney. People must drink plenty of water, and drink more when they
   feel like vomiting or passing blood. Drinking too much water too quickly can make
   your kidneys work more, leading to kidney problems.
3. Diabetes
   Diabetes can be one of the most common health concerns that people suffer from in
   winter. Even the insulin requirements are much higher during the winter season. You
   must keep a check on your blood glucose levels. Diabetes can cause heart-related
   complications in severe cases. This disease can also lead to ulceration in the joints and
   the legs. It can lead to nerve damage and lung problems.
4. Heart Disease
   The sudden drop in temperatures can lead to heart-related problems in people. In the
   winter, the risk of heart disease is the highest. The cooler temperatures cause the
   heart to work much faster, resulting in blood clots and heart attacks. You must take
   care of your heart health when you suffer from major health issues.
5. Depression
   If you suffer from depression in the winter season, you must make some changes to
   your lifestyle. Avoid consuming alcohol, fast-moving foods like fried, pizzas, and lots of

junk food. Instead, you must focus on eating a healthy diet and sticking to a healthy
lifestyle. This will help you to overcome depression.

6. Diabetes
   The change in the environment in winter can make it difficult to control your diabetes
   in the winter season. You have to keep yourself hydrated and maintain a healthy blood
   glucose level. In the winter, your blood glucose levels can increase due to dehydration.
   You should drink plenty of water and eat a healthy diet. Avoid unnecessary heating of
   rooms in the winter. Exercise in the morning and do regular exercises to keep the
   blood sugar levels in control. The insulin requirements are also increased in the
   winter. However, normal insulin requirements can be managed by sticking to a
   healthy diet. Make sure that you maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
7. Hemorrhoids
   Excess sweating in winter can lead to blood clots and heart diseases. It is important to
   avoid cold showers. Instead, you should warm your clothes before taking a shower.
   Wash your clothes properly to keep your blood pressure under control. As the body
   gets colder, blood vessels in the skin can get narrowed, causing hemorrhoids. It is
   important to consult a doctor if you feel a lump in the lower belly. In addition, you can
   make some lifestyle changes like consuming ginger juice, eating more leafy
   vegetables, and keeping a check on your blood sugar levels.
   Weight loss and lifestyle changes for winter
   A decrease in your weight can reduce your risk of getting sick in the winter season.
   Lack of sleep and cooler temperatures can lead to poor health. A healthy diet, regular
   exercise, and reducing stress can help you to have a better life. You must keep a check
   on your blood sugar levels. Eating healthy foods like nuts, oats, and cauliflower can
   help you to maintain a healthy weight in the winter.
   You should stick to a healthy diet to avoid health problems in the winter season. For
   losing weight, you can follow a healthy diet. Eat plenty of foods that have protein and
   water. Avoid drinking too much alcohol as it causes a sharp decrease in blood sugar.
   Alcohol can also lead to dehydration and ill health. Drink plenty of water and drink
   smaller amounts at regular intervals. A healthy diet can help you to lose weight.
   Exercise is also necessary to have a better life. You can walk, swim, jog, take some

exercise for a few minutes every day. It will improve your overall health and your body
temperature will be stable.
