In the news: Crohn’s Disease: Seasonal changes & inflammation
Almost like clockwork. There is the bi-yearly (serious) flare up again. Moving from the cold weather into the warmer and the other way around, my Crohn’s Disease symptoms are heating up. I can feel the inflammation and I’m currently under strict watch. So what is this thing with seasonal changes anyway?
Literally speaking, the cause of seasonal changes in weather is directly tied to the angle of the sun and latitude, as well as to the astronomical phenomenon of the Earth’s orbit around the sun. So how does this affect our bodies? Well, we simply behave differently throughout the year. Both our body and our mind is affected.
