Drink Water: Winter season comes with its own rewards and risks. To keep healthy in the winter season, keeping hydrated is a must. Water is not consumed as often since we don’t sweat as much.

Winter season is cold and dry and can dehydrate the system. Since one doesn’t feel thirsty one may not feel it but it’s happening and the body is quenched and needs water.

Drinking water regulates body temperature all year round and keeps you cool in summers and warm in winters.
