குளிர்காலத்துல நீங்க ஏன் கட்டாயம் மீன் சாப்பிடணும்? அப்படி சாப்பிடலனா என்னவாகும் தெரியுமா? குளிர்காலத்துல நீங்க ஏன் கட்டாயம் மீன் சாப்பிடணும்? அப்படி சாப்பிடலனா என்னவாகும் தெரியுமா?

குளிர்காலம் என்றாலே, பகல் நேரம் குறைவாகவும் இரவு நேரம் அதிகமாகவும் இருக்கும். குளிர்காலத்தில் குளிர் நம்மை வாட்டி வதைக்கும். இவை மட்டுமல்லாது குளிர்காலம் நமக்கு பல பிரச்சனைகளை ஏற்படுத்தும். குளிர்காலம் நெருங்க நெருங்க நமது நோய் எதிர்ப்பு சக்தி குறையும். இதனால் விரைவில் உடல்நலக் கோளாறு ஏற்படுகிறது. குளிர்காலத்தில் சளி, காய்ச்சல், இருமல் என ஏற்படுவது வழக்கம்.
