Why are you sicker during cold days?

Health experts caution that the best option is to focus on preventing possible infections.

When there is a sudden drop in temperature and humidity levels decrease, the number of viruses increases and the immune system weakens, Kosovas Press broadcasts.

Data shows that viruses continue and spread to lower temperatures, allowing them to infect more people, said Dr. Robert Glatt, of Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.

At the same time, cold weather can endanger the immune system, increasing the possibility of developing the disease.

There is strong evidence that innovations - the cause of most cold - function well in dry, cold air.

A recent study examined how viruses operate at different temperatures and levels of moisture. Researchers have found that the lowest temperatures and the dry air they carry increase people's risk of contracting innovation.

When the virus first comes into contact with the body, more precisely the nose or throat, it multiplies to cause infection. When our body temperature falls, which occurs when the weather is cold, viruses reproduce more easily.

Besides, the lowest temperatures give the flu virus a protective layer, making it more powerful and less permeable”, Gutter explains.

At higher temperatures, the virus loses its solid layer and becomes softer, thus spreading less.

At the same time, dry air undermines the immune system's ability to fight the virus,” says David Kutler.

He believes that dry air damages the body's local immune response to the presence of the virus. In addition, extreme cold causes blood vessels to narrow down, which further damages local immune response.

When the weather is cold, people gather more in environments where viruses spread faster and easier. In such conditions, both common cold and flu are highly contagious.

Because of a lack of sun and time in closed environments, people have a lower amount of vitamin D, which helps our immune system function better.

Dr. Kutler recommends that you focus on preventing cooling rather than treating them when you're already sick.

First, frequent washing of hands is necessary, as bacteria spread from person to person, and washing hands can prevent this transmission.

Second, always take a pocket headscarf with you. Research has shown that its use reduces the number of respiratory infections.

Conscientious individuals cough or sneeze in their head rather than in the air around themselves or arms, reducing the possibility of spreading the virus.

If you are sick, you should think of others and protect them as much as possible during this period.
