<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Monsoon brings with itself the promise of rain, new life and an escape from the heat and humidity of summer. However, it is not just humans who love the rainy season. Plants, animals, bacteria and viruses enjoy it just as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, while we might love walking in the rain, diving into a puddle in the field or just enjoying freshly cut fruits on the road, it certainly isn\u2019t entirely harmless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Simple Health Tips to Stay Safe This Monsoon<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Increase vitamin C intake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Monsoon is the perfect time for viruses and bacteria to thrive. You will notice that this time of the year when viral fevers, allergic reactions and other viral infections are rampant. Similarly, the air has more bacteria than at any other point during this time. To remain healthy, you need to increase your immunity. One of the easiest ways of doing that is increasing your Vitamin C intake. Eat sprouts, fresh green vegetables and oranges to have a Vitamin C-rich diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Drink clean water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We all drink less water during the rainy season, but our body needs to stay hydrated to remain healthy. During the monsoons, ensure you are drinking clean and purified water, whether at home or outside. If you drink beverages outside, ensure that only pure water is used (including ice cubes). Taking your bottle of water with you is best to be on the safe side.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Increase probiotic intake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Probiotics are healthy microorganisms that support your health; they typically live in the gut and digestive system. Make a point to increase your intake of probiotic foods like curds, yoghurt, buttermilk and homemade pickles. These can make your gut health significantly more resilient and improve nutrient absorption. Not only will you be making your digestive system healthier, but you\u2019ll also be building your strength against any potential stomach infections down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Avoid junk food<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Street food, freshly cut fruits and other kinds of food items sold on the street should strictly be avoided. The road is usually filled with potholes full of water and mud. These form perfect incubators for various kinds of harmful microorganisms. The longer the food items are exposed to the open air, the higher they are likely to become home to them. So, whenever you eat your favourite junk food, you are more likely to contract a disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Destroy breeding grounds for mosquitoes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the worst issues of monsoon is the breeding of mosquitos. These nasty little insects are perfectly capable of making you miserable. However, fear not! With a few precautions, you can easily find your way to a mosquito-free residence.<\/strong> Ensure that there is no open water storage in your home. Ensure that they are always in covered pots and vessels. Similarly, ensure that the drains are not clogged and there\u2019s no rainwater held stagnant in your nearby areas. Mosquitos are born in stagnant water, so removing sources of stagnant water will help a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Add a disinfectant to the bathwater<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Most people love taking a stroll in the rain. It is refreshing and one of the wonders of human life. However, remember to bathe with a disinfectant like Dettol, Savlon or Betadine, every time you get wet. It will save you from the millions of microorganisms you carry home and help you stay healthy and fit. Washing your hands and feet and legs are advisable as you get back. Remember, use only clean water to wash your face.<\/p>
