Ready for the winter season? You may well be when you hear this! Even though it’s called a “cold” - cold air by itself can’t make you sick. In fact, cold air can rev up your immune system! According to Dr. Rachel Vreeman, cells that fight infection increase when we’re exposed to cold weather. It’s how our body protects us against freezing temperatures.

And dry mucus membranes are more vulnerable to infections.
