Beat the Muscle-Stiffening, Joint-Killing Cold Weather
The Philippines, a beautiful country with peaceful mountain ranges, and beaches with Beautiful Horizons (get it?). It’s a country that is situated just above the equator, thus, having a two-season climate—the wet and dry seasons—which helps in making the archipelago a paradise.
Talking about seasons, the Philippines has a two-month dry period which lies in April and May, apart from the said months, roughly 18-20 typhoons enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) every year, and yearly, 5 of these typhoons have the potential to be destructive. All of that is due to the Eastern part of the country facing the Pacific Ocean and her location overall that Time Magazine once called the Philippines “the most exposed country in the world to tropical storms” In one of their articles from 2013.
With that being said, The Philippines has its fair share of cold weather, and with that comes different illnesses, diseases and the like that comes with having a cold weather.
Having the cough and colds are some of the most common illnesses people experience during the rainy season, but there’s another common illness that seems petty to some but gives a lot of people a hard time during the cold nights—muscle pain.
Rainy Season a Cause for Muscle and Joint Pain?
It’s now July, and the rainy season in the Philippines is reaching its full force already. Together with that, the cold weather is now in full effect, as people in the streets have jackets that are ready to use tucked inside their bags in the event that the weather gets too cold or it rains.
Muscle stiffening and joint pain are known to be linked to the cold weather. Eye-tests may let you see that your elderly family members take more effort to get up in the morning, but according to webMD, “Cold weather causes muscles to lose more heat and contract, causing tightness throughout the body. Joints get tighter, muscles can lose their range of motion and nerves can more easily be pinched”.
Warming up and stretching out those stiff muscles for a longer period of time may do the trick, but there is another way to be able to beat out the muscle pain that will bother most people throughout the course of the rainy season.
