Boost Your Immunity During Seasonal Transitions with Ssanghwatang!! – Health Tips for Managing Large Temperature Fluctuations


After a light rain, the weather suddenly became chilly. Rapid temperature changes and large daily temperature differences can weaken the immune system, making us more susceptible to various illnesses. Today, I’d like to talk about how large temperature fluctuations affect our health and how to take care of ourselves during such weather conditions.


Changes in the Body Due to Large Temperature Fluctuations

One of the most prominent features during seasonal transitions is the large temperature difference between day and night. When the temperature difference exceeds 10°C, our bodies expend a lot of energy to adapt to these changes.

  1. Sudden temperature changes and large temperature fluctuations occur.
  2. To adapt to temperature changes, organs like muscles, skin, and nerves experience a surge in energy consumption.
  3. The rapid energy expenditure leads to an energy deficit.
  4. This energy shortage means that less energy is available for immune cells, resulting in weakened immune function.
  5. A weakened immune system makes it easier for the body to fall ill.


Symptoms of Weakened Immunity

Fatigue: Large temperature fluctuations destabilize metabolism, causing excessive energy use in regulating body temperature. This can lead to fatigue and lethargy. 

Failure in temperature regulation: The body’s ability to regulate temperature declines, leading to cold hands and feet, or in some cases, an abnormal sense of warmth. This increases sensitivity to cold or heat. 


Exacerbation of respiratory illnesses: Inhaling cold air suddenly can inflame the airways and lungs, worsening symptoms of colds or rhinitis.

  • Cold: A cold is caused by a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract and occurs more frequently when immunity is low. Symptoms include a stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat.
  • Rhinitis: Primarily allergic rhinitis, it occurs when the nasal mucosa is irritated by external stimuli such as cold air or dust. During seasonal transitions, cold air or a dry environment can exacerbate rhinitis, overlapping with cold-like symptoms. In particular, cold weather dries out the mucous membranes, worsening inflammation and rhinitis symptoms.


Weakened immunity: Rapid weather changes activate the sympathetic nervous system, increasing the secretion of the stress hormone cortisol. When appetite decreases due to sympathetic nervous activation, the body may not receive the nutrients necessary to boost immunity. Excess cortisol secretion further weakens the immune system, increasing the likelihood of respiratory illnesses. 
Dry skin and mucous membranes: Cold winds can dry out the skin and respiratory mucous membranes, weakening their defense mechanisms and making them more sensitive to external stimuli. 
Burden on the circulatory system: As temperatures drop, peripheral blood vessels constrict, affecting blood circulation and potentially raising blood pressure. On the other hand, warmer temperatures cause blood vessels to dilate, putting unnecessary strain on the circulatory system. 
Autonomic nervous system imbalance: Overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system can disrupt the balance of the autonomic nervous system, leading to various symptoms such as digestive problems, insomnia, and headaches.




Precautions During Sudden Weather Changes

Maintain body temperature: It’s important to wear layers of thin clothing to maintain body temperature when going out. It's also helpful to carry an outer layer to prepare for sudden temperature changes. 


Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and maintain the humidity in your indoor environment to protect respiratory health. 




Get enough rest: Avoid excessive activity and ensure you get sufficient rest and sleep to conserve energy. 





Proper nutrition:
Avoid instant or cold foods that can cause digestive issues. Instead, consume nutritious and warm foods.
