Health Alert 2026: Why Extreme Cold Demands Extra Care for Your Health

As we step into 2026, winter has arrived with unusually cold temperatures across North India. While chilly weather may feel refreshing, extreme cold can silently impact your health, especially immunity, respiratory function, heart health, and metabolic balance.

At Bluvial Labs, we are already seeing a seasonal rise in infections and abnormal test results. This blog highlights why winters need proactive health monitoring and how timely testing can prevent complications.

How Extreme Cold Affects the Body ?

Cold weather puts additional stress on the body in several ways:

• Lower immunity, making you prone to viral and bacterial infections

• Respiratory issues like cough, cold, bronchitis, and pneumonia

• Increased blood pressure, raising cardiac risk

• Worsening of diabetes control due to reduced activity

• Vitamin D deficiency due to less sun exposure

• Joint and muscle stiffness, especially in elderly individuals

Many of these changes are not immediately visible but can be detected early through blood tests.

Common Winter Health Issues We See in Labs

During peak winters, the most common findings include:

• Raised CRP (inflammation marker)

• Abnormal CBC showing infection or low immunity

• Fluctuating blood sugar levels

• Low Vitamin D & B12

• Altered lipid profile due to reduced physical activity

• Dehydration affecting kidney function

Early detection helps avoid hospital visits later.

Who Should Be Extra Careful This Winter?

You should consider preventive testing if you are:

• Elderly (60+ years)

• Living with diabetes, BP, asthma, or heart disease

• Frequently falling sick or feeling fatigued

• Recovering from an infection or surgery

• Spending long hours indoors

• Parents of young children

Winter infections tend to linger longer if not managed early.

• Complete Blood Count (CBC)

These tests give a 360° picture of your winter health. As we step into 2026, winter has arrived with unusually cold temperatures across North India. While chilly weather may feel refreshing, extreme cold can silently impact your health, especially immunity, respiratory function, heart health, and metabolic balance.
