Winter's Impact on Health

How do you manage your health during the winter? So I was just what I just wanted to ask you, how does winter affect your overall health and well-being. The cold. The cold, the cold, the cold. Because it just makes you miserable. But, you know, during winter if you've got a bit of sunshine and the sun is trying to shine through the clouds, it does lighten up your day. But if it's just the dull, dirty grey clouds up there, it's depressive and it's it's hard to get away from that. I understand so you find that you find that the cold is like the most challenging part? I always tend to be ill with the flu or suffolk in the wintertime so this is no good for me. My immune system is on the Do you find that your health in general, including your immune system, it's weaker during the winter as compared to other seasons? And are there any other things besides the cold that you find that you're having to manage differently during the winter? Other than keeping yourself warm, is there anything else that helps you stay well during the winter months? Maybe that's to do with sitting by the fire? I don't know. I don't like to be too hot, especially in wintertime. Or like drinking any hot teas or hot water. Yeah, I drink hot water. Whether it's spring, summer, autumn, winter, all the time. It washes you inside and it's good. And do you find that your emotional or mental health shifts during the winter? Yeah, because wintertime it does tend to make you a bit miserable. Everyone. Everyone feels that way, I guess. Yeah. Okay. Uh-huh. One question. At the same time, you know, you think about the cold. And then when the summer comes, although you're, you know, you want the summer to come because it's, you know, you feel more relaxed. You can do things. You can stay out longer. But you start complaining, and it's like, what do you do? You complain when it's cold, you complain when it's hot. It's life, it is what it is. Do you feel that there's anything that the NHS could, or any healthcare professional could do to support yourself more during the winter, and that, again, it could include vaccines checkups? We had vaccine checkups. Is there any personal goals that you tend to set for yourself during the winter months? No. And again, this is very similar to last time, so if you don't want to answer it, you can skip it. But is there any advice you would give someone regarding looking after your health during the winter? Just keep yourself warm, as best you can. What, well I've basically already answered this question, um, I think I may have answered it. Oh is there any like, is there any particular support that you already get during the winter which you find helpful? I think that's all actually.
