A common question is whether the amount of light in the morning can affect the mood of a person for the day? The logical and truthful answer is “Yes, it can”. “Winter blues” is a common enough term and refers to the constant low energy one experiences during the course of a day, in the cold weather. Feeling depressed, low energy, overweight, and literally forcing yourself out of bed in the mornings throughout the short days of winters can be extremely taxing.

Seasonal Affective Disorder, better known as the SAD syndrome, is exacerbated due to the lack of light. When you wake up in the morning while it is dark and dreary outside, it can damper the optimistic, naturally cheerful, disposition of an individual, especially if such conditions prevail for a certain period. In winters, people suffer more, because the days are so much shorter, and the continuous darkness can really take its toll.

Why do we feel happy when the day is sunny? It is the noise of the birds in the morning, and the sound of the daily hustle and bustle of everyone, rushing to their destinations, that make the day a whole lot cheerful. Complains of having trouble in getting out of the bed in the morning is comparatively less in summers.  Read more...

Asthma is the chronic respiratory condition where the lungs get inflamed and the airways get narrowed. The constriction of the airways causes shortness of breath, chest tightness and/or pains, coughing, and wheezing. Wheezing is a subject of much misconception. While wheezing is present in mild to acute asthma, it may be absent in severe asthma since the airflow would be hindered enough for any wheezing sound to be produced.

Asthma has a steady state. In this steady state, the asthmatic can continue living a normal life. Occasional nighttime coughing may occur, but nothing that an inhaler cannot take care of. But asthma, when left unchecked, gets worse without being known. The asthmatic may feel perfectly fine without realizing that the airways are starting to constrict; inhaling airborne irritants speeds up the process of asthma exacerbation.

Asthma triggers include smoke, dust, pollen, strong odors, fumes, and molds. They can be avoided. But there is always a time where inadvertent inhalation of these triggers occurs. This brings about an acute exacerbation of asthma. The symptoms of this state of the asthma are more severe than those in the steady state. Wheezing would be present in this state as well as in other more severe states.  Read more...

When stress occurs, either muscular or on the nerve endings, it can have a domino effect as you attempt to relieve the stress through poor posture.
