in winter and how to tackle them.
Good health and fitness are important all year long. There are 
some certain health problems that are more normal within the 
seasons. It is seen that even if you feel energetic and healthy all 
through the other seasons like spring, summer, and rainy when it 
comes to the winter, everyone faces the same problem of cold, 
cough and many more. Today in times of epidemics you stay 
indoors all day with people who may already be ill, just a cough or 
sneeze can leave you in bed for many days. “We are spending 
more time in enclosed spaces with each other than ever before, 
so that we have more prolonged face-to-face contact” Dr. Santosh 
Datar, at Ziqitza told Zee Business. He said that viruses thrive in 
cold weather when there is no moisture due to which the virus 
stays in the air for longer so that the person who is sufficiently 
close to each other can only breathe in the infected air. Thus, 
makes us at risk of falling ill.
The climate in India is mostly hot and very humid, the winter season 
being the foremost awaited season, but because of Covid 19 for the 
last one year, people are terrified of Covid cases, but in India, covid 
cases are decreasing day by day. Once again new Covid-19 strains are 
turning out, with many countries affected by the new strains. Many 
countries reported that strains of the new Covid are more dangerous 
than normal Covid. Come to the main point, in the winter season, the 
temperature and humidity levels go down, so the risk of cold-related 
diseases increases. According to the Center for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC), “Deaths occur more in winter than in spring or 
summer and rainy”.
For us at Ziqitza Healthcare Limited being an emergency services 
provider are at the forefront with various state governments. The 
amount of calls increases during the winter season with patients 
complaining of respiratory problems. Dr.Santosh Datar from Ziqitza 
gave a glance at the diseases occurring in the common winter and 
advised to prevent them:
Asthma
Asthma is a condition that when you exhale it becomes difficult to 
breathe and also it makes a whistling sound. Winter weather makes 
asthma patients' conditions worse. Asthma may be mild or it may 
interfere with daily activities. In some cases, it can be a fatal attack. The 
advisory team of Doctors at Ziqitza Healthcare Limited always advises 
people who are suffering from asthma are more prone to get asthmatic 
attacks due to exposure to cold.

body. Joint pain is a common complaint. One of the most common 
causes of joint pain is arthritis. if it does not go away on its own after a 
few days. Early detection and diagnosis can allow for effective treatment 
of the underlying cause of your discomfort.
Dry Skin/Eczema
In winters, the most common problem is itchy and dry skin. This is 
due to more dryness in the air. Some preventive measures can help 
keep your skin moist and healthy such as Use warm water and limit 
bath time, Apply moisturizers immediately after bathing, Choose 
fabrics that are kind to your skin, Use a humidifier,  avoid using 
regular soap and use soap with glycerin base.
