The change of season is always a test for our body. The air temperature drops, the days become shorter, sleep and eating patterns change – the body goes into acclimatisation mode and becomes more vulnerable. Autumn is the time when the personal health problems, physical and mental, become more acute. According to statistics, the largest number of exacerbations of chronic diseases occur during this period. Even healthy people experience stress during the transition period, not to mention those with health problems.

Climate has a direct and indirect effect on humans. The direct influence is very diverse and is due to the direct effect of climatic factors on the human body, particularly on the conditions of heat exchange with the environment: on the blood supply to the skin, the respiratory and cardiovascular system and sweating. Many people find it very difficult to adjust to autumn weather due to the sudden change in temperature, dampness and coolness.
