reason for increasing arthritis issue in winter

            Cold and Dampness: Cold weather can lead to increased joint pain and stiffness, especially when combined with damp conditions. The drop in temperature may cause synovial fluid in joints to thicken, making movement more challenging.

Changes in Atmospheric Pressure: Fluctuations in barometric pressure during winter can affect the pressure inside joints, potentially leading to increased arthritis pain and discomfort.

Reduced Physical Activity: Colder weather often discourages outdoor activities and exercise, contributing to joint stiffness and weakened muscles, making arthritis symptoms more noticeable.

Seasonal Changes in Diet: Changes in dietary habits during winter, such as consuming more inflammatory substances, could potentially worsen arthritis symptoms. A balanced and anti-inflammatory diet is crucial.

Vitamin D Deficiency: Reduced sunlight exposure in winter may lead to lower levels of vitamin D, essential for bone health and immune function. Some studies suggest a link between low vitamin D levels and increased arthritis symptoms.
