Winter and lung health: Managing respiratory challenges during the cold months
India's winter air quality poses a severe threat to lung health, exacerbating conditions like asthma and COPD. Low temperatures, pollution, and viral infections contribute to increased hospitalizations and mortality. Practical measures like layering clothing, maintaining indoor humidity, cautious exercise, and air quality monitoring are crucial for managing respiratory health. Regular medical consultation and vaccinations are vital, especially for vulnerable populations.
