Winter in Delhi, while beautiful, often brings along its challenges. The biting cold, coupled with the city’s notorious air pollution, can take a toll on our health. However, with a few simple steps and a commitment to wellness, you can stay healthy and vibrant throughout the season.
Why Winter Wellness Matters
Winter can be a challenging time for our bodies. The cold, dry air can lead to respiratory issues, skin problems, and weakened immunity. Additionally, Delhi’s air pollution, which worsens during winter, can exacerbate these problems.
