That's Fit

Wondering what your chances of catching the flu are today? Check the weather.

The popular weather site AccuWeather (www.accuweather.com) offers health-related information based on weather conditions. Here's a look at just a few of them:

Dropping pressure and high humidity can mean sinus headaches for some people. This is because sinus headaches typically occur on cool (but not always freezing) and damp days, when colds are being spread and the pressure is in flux.

Steady pressure and low humidity can affect people who suffer from asthma. Despite the fact that pollen counts are lower in winter months, asthma attacks are almost just as frequent. Cold outdoor air and dry indoor heat may aggravate symptoms.

Dropping pressure and high humidity can cause arthritis sufferers to experience joint pain. Cold temperatures and moisture can lead to swelling of the joints, irritating nerves and making symptoms worse.
