Taking care of yourself in Winters
Winter can take a tremendous toll on our body as it brings dry skin, dry scalp, and chilling winds, making it easy for us to catch a cold, and for many people, winters can be depressing. It is also advisable to make slight changes in diet and eating habits during the winter, such as avoiding cold beverages and ice creams and consuming more hot drinks and foods.
Eating dry fruits, dates, and other things keeps us warm. It is also essential to do indoor physical activity if the temperature outside is not conducive; exercise increases blood circulation and raises our body temperature, which keeps our body warm and boosts our immune system.
Well, winters can be cold and harsh for many people, but it is also the time of year to have some excellent and warm foods and drinks, to go out and enjoy the snow. However, staying healthy by taking precautions.
Following are a few quick tips to stay healthy during winter:
Warm Clothes It is understood to wear warm clothes in the winter season. Wearing proper clothing, such as a jacket and sweater, and covering your head is essential as they protect us from catching a common cold, fever, and cough when out in the sky. Additionally, consuming more hot drinks and avoiding cold drinks will keep us warm during the season.
Take Care of Your Skin and Scalp Dry skin and dry scalp are common in the winter season because the dryness is in the atmosphere, making your skin dry and harsh. Dermatologists advise us to apply moisturizer daily on our skin immediately after bathing and massage our hair with warm hair oil once a week to combat scalp dryness. Showering with hot water can make both the skin and hair dry. Therefore, it is essential to take precautions in winter to ensure skin feels healthy and glowing.
Home Remedies It is common for people to catch a common cold, viral fever, and cough; hence, increasing the consumption of some herbs such as Tulsi, Honey, and Ginger may help you get stronger and fight common diseases and season-born allergies.
Disclaimer: If you see any issues related to the common cold, fever, cough or have any doubt related to taking care in winters of you and your loved ones, we strictly advise you to seek medical consultation. You may book consultation with SmartCare Doctors.

HOW TO GET RID OF KNEE PAIN?
Knee pain is a common health issue affecting everyone at different life stages. Knee pain can be caused by injuries such as ligament or torn cartilage or medical conditions such as arthritis, gout, etc. Having sore knees is usually not a sign of anything serious and can be treated at home by adopting some home remedies. However, with age, the knee problem worsens; people who are overweight and people into sports are at an increased risk of sports despite their age.
Knee pain can majorly be classified into two broader categories:
Knee Pain with Injury
Overusing or twisting the knee during exercise or physical activity
Pain between your kneecap and shin caused by the injury
Knee pain which causes difficulty in standing and stretching
Knee Pain without Injury
Pain and swelling in knees and around the knees as often occur with age
Difficulty in walking and bending knees
Out-of-the-blue knee pain at any point of the day
Knee pain can be easily managed by following these three steps at home immediately after facing knee pain
