Seasonal changes on health

Abstract

Barring a few exceptions, health comes naturally to all of us, but it doesn't come free. We have to take care of it and preserve it constantly. There are a lot of factors that affect the health of individuals, families and, in turn, communities. One of the critical but unnoticed factors is seasonal change. While seasons keep changing all over the globe, people learn to adapt to the seasonal changes of their respective regions. All over the globe, there are four seasons in a year; the same is valid in Kashmir valley. But in Kashmir, different seasons offer unique patterns, and almost no other place has this kind of unique environment. There is a substantial change in day length, photoperiod and temperature with the changing seasons.
