We have to look after our health to maintain health in safe manner. In winter we have to explore the tools to keep our health. In winter flu and influenza are common due to change in weather therefore you should adopt to change. In winter due to smog the atmosphere is wet and women start their day without preventive measures.

Moreover pollution adds to this atmosphere in which children also take breath. Around the rooms and kitchen there should be thin coating of iron sheets. In the severe weather of winter women usually leave the houses without caring for change in weather therefore there are chances of flu and influenza or asthma. In this season lungs are effected due to change in weather and there are chances of getting pneumonia. In this cold weather while sending children to school proper care is not taken therefore the diseases spreads rapidly. Children often take baths and don’t wear clothes instantly thus it is injurious to health.

Women often go out in open without taking sweater or shawl due to which they are prone to cold weather. A woman who often feels upset in winter must get their blood pressure checked. Besides physical health we should take care of diet. Some feel that in cold weather the items which are rich in calories should be taken. To some extent it is correct but things should always be taken in modernity.

Pickles and sour items should be avoided as it leads to soar throat. Some women don’t care about taking bath and usually take bath after 3 to 4 days which is not recommended. Medicine should be taken with the consultation of doctor. Joshshanda is the best in this situation. Olive oil is a best tool to get rid of cold weather.  Women should take all preventive measures and follow the remedies recommended in this winter season. Use it several times.

Also massaging olive oil or oil of egg yolk on children also helps keep them protected from the chilly winds.
