Factors contributing to winter illnesses include lower temperatures weakening the immune system, increased indoor circulation of viruses, dry air irritating the respiratory tract, and reduced sunlight leading to lower Vitamin D levels. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated with water and herbal teas, and other immunity-boosting practices are recommended to prevent and lessen the severity of these common winter ailments.
