General advice is to wear warm clothing and, if necessary, layering. It is especially advisable to protect the elderly and children from cold winds. Furthermore, considering the cold conditions in the near future, it would be advisable to consider using household heaters or other safe methods.
According to analysis by various weather monitoring agencies, there will be no major improvement in the weather until next Monday and Tuesday (November 18-23). Wind speeds are likely to persist, and cold nights will continue. If a cold wave occurs, its intensity may be transitional, so it will be important to keep an eye on weather updates.
To protect yourself from the sudden increase in cold, some simple yet effective health tips are crucial. First, practice layering to maintain body temperature, wear light but multiple layers of clothing to retain heat. Stay hydrated by drinking lukewarm water morning and evening, and include warming foods like ginger, turmeric, and basil in your diet.
Keep the room warm by closing the windows but allow for some ventilation. Eat foods rich in vitamin C and protein to boost your body's immunity. Cover your ears, head, and throat when going outside, as cold air affects these areas most quickly. Regular light exercise such as walking indoors, stretching, and yoga, improves blood circulation and relieves cold-related stiffness.
Those with asthma, heart, or respiratory problems should avoid temperature fluctuations and take their prescribed medications on time.
