  2. Somewhere between October and November, the bright sunny summer days give way to the grey cold winds of winter and soon winter comes knocking on the door. While winter brings Christmas gifts, it also brings with it a bag full of unpleasantness in the form of diseases. These diseases may be something innocuous like the cold and cough to the more sinuous like heart attacks and heartburn. Here is a list of diseases that commonly occur during winter and the ways and means to prevent them.

A drop in temperature causes constriction in blood vessels making it difficult for the heart to pump blood. People above the age of 30 should avoid strenuous exercises.
