Experts reveal the best ways to avoid six common health issues caused by cold weather
Doctors and health experts have identified six key ways the harsh UK winter can affect your health, offering advice on how to address these issues.
The main concerns include poor circulation, joint pain, dental problems, respiratory difficulties, skin irritation, and pale extremities.GP Dr Nisa Aslam explained to The Sun's Fabulous: "As a GP, every winter I see an increase in all sorts of health conditions, including skin complaints, respiratory and cardiovascular problems.
I also see a marked rise in mental health conditions."To improve poor circulation, it's recommended to add cayenne pepper to meals, as research in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism suggests it can enhance blood flow and strengthen vessels, possibly even reducing arterial plaque.
For joint pain, wearing natural fibres like cashmere and wool is advised.Dental emergencies tend to rise by 20-25% during colder months, notes Dr Sameer Patel, co-founder of E11even Dental.
