1. Dress: Don't get caught in thin clothes when the evening turns cold or in heavy layers when humidity spikes. Lightweight fabrics make it easier to regulate body temperature

2. Stay hydrated: Cooler or rainy weather dulls thirst, but your body still loses water. Dehydration can trigger headaches, fatigue, and weaker immunity

3. Seasonal foods: Changing weather stresses your immune system. Add vitamin C-rich fruits like oranges and guavas, zinc from nuts and seeds, and warm soups or ginger tea

4. Protect skin and lips: Dry air, wind, and rain strip moisture. Use a gentle moisturiser and lip balm daily

5. Keep allergies in check: Pollen, mould, and dampness rise during seasonal transitions. Wash your hands often, avoid touching your face, and change out of wet clothes quickly

6. Indoor air quality: Closed windows and AC use can trap pollutants. Air out your home when weather permits, use a dehumidifier if it's damp, and clean filters regularly

7. Adjust sleep: Stick to consistent bedtime, keep your room cool, dark, & shift workouts to cooler parts of the day. Light exercise keeps circulation up, helps body adapt faster
