How to stay healthy and keep away monsoon-related diseases
Eating a balanced diet with immunity-boosting foods, and drinking enough water will help protect you from viral infections.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Avoid eating outside as diseases like typhoid and hepatitis spread more easily due to polluted food and water. Choose freshly prepared meals excluding raw veggies, particularly leafy ones.
Choose freshly cooked food at home
Perishable foods such as milk and curd should always be kept in the refrigerator.
Use refrigerator
Keep fungal infections at bay by cleaning and drying your feet every day, especially after returning from outside. Don’t wear wet shoes for a long period of time.
Wash your feet and dry them
Extra sweat due to humidity can cause several skin infections. It is recommended to shower twice a day along with washing and drying your clothes regularly.
Clean your clothes regularly
Stay away from known allergens, and keep your anti-allergic medications on hand at all times.
Anti-allergic medicines
Avoid walking on wet pavements and roadways, which serve as mosquito breeding grounds. Use insect repellents and disinfectants to reduce the risk of diseases spread by mosquitoes and flies.
Manage mosquitoes and flies
Personal hygiene becomes even more critical during monsoon. Wash your hands frequently with soap and clean water, especially before meals and after using the restroom.
