Can A Sudden Change in Weather Affect Our Health

Can A Sudden Change in Weather Affect Our Health?

In my medical experience, sudden weather changes affect our health. Normally, our bodies get tuned to a certain climate. When sudden climatic changes occur, our bodies have to find a way to adapt to the new environment. The adaptation process negatively affects our immune and musculoskeletal systems.

How Sudden Weather Changes Affect our immune System

When it suddenly gets colder, our immune System takes a hit, and the viruses grow stronger. Do you know what this means?

How Sudden Weather Changes Affect Our Mental Health

Sudden weather changes come with mental health illnesses, including anxiety, eating, psychotic, mood, and personality disorders.

The Effects of Sudden Weather Changes on Our Musculoskeletal System

When it gets warm, people tend to resume their daily activities, including working out. Working out is good for our well-being. However, staying extremely active in hot weather causes muscle and joint injuries. This is why I advise that you start low on those physical activities and take things slow to welcome your muscles and joints from the winter months to the warm months without compromising your safety.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
