Question 2

how can you get sick in the winter?

Accepted Answer

Illness vs season: Contrary to popular belief, sickness/illness aren't caused by season per se but by germs. In other words, winter season isn't why someone gets a cold. Colds are caused by viruses which you can pick up year round. But perhaps certain viruses can survive better in colder climates which explains influenza season every winter (http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-01/fyi-why-winter-flu-season).

Accepted Answer

Focus on how much: You are eating.  It turns out for most people the biggest hurdle is related to how much they are eating.  You need to make sure you control your calories.

If you can increase your physical activity that will be helpful too.
