The monsoons are good change from the sweltering summer. Like each season has some merits and demerits, monsoon season has a few demerits. To stay healthy and happy in the monsoons, we must take a few precautions …
- We’re not just talking about staying away from water logged areas or eating street food. We’re talking about overall health tips for rainy season which can make the weather even more enjoyable.
- Diseases in the rainy season are mostly water-borne so make sure you only drink water that is filtered or boiled.
- It is also important to maintain a healthy diet in rainy season, which means that your favorite juices, kulfi and other street food are off the menu.
- Always avoid raw vegetables and salads unless they are consumed at home where you can wash and clean them.
- Drink sufficient water, regardless of your activity levels. Do not compensate your liquid intake with carbonated, caffeinated, and alcoholic drinks and beverages as the preservatives and sugars in them act as diuretics. Herbal teas with antibacterial properties are a good idea.
- Avoid walking in the rain. Walking in rain water makes you prone to a host of viral diseases. Not to mention it cause numerous fungal infections.
- If your feet get wet, dry them immediately and do not stay in wet socks or shoes. Diabetics especially must take extra care and avoid walking barefoot as the ground is rife with all kinds of germs. If your clothes get wet, do not sit in an AC.
