The Patient and The Weather™Without a doubt, the seasons are changing. As temperatures fall across much of the USA, we tend to remain inside in the warmth. No, this is not a discussion of the price of heating fuel, although there are always two sides to every coin.
The primary issue here is what heat does to our indoor air, meaning removes humidity. Like it or not, our respiratory system is covered with a mucous lining that serves as a catch all for everything from dust and pollution to pathogens, bacteria and virus.
Without proper hydration, our mucous lining can weaken or offer potential pathways for any of the pathogens already there into our bodies.
As always, weather , even indoor weather, plays a role in or health. Stay hydrated.
