Health care in the rain: There has been continuous rain in Gujarat for the last three days. Many areas have been flooded. The weather has become cold due to rain, but along with it the risk of diseases has also started increasing. Continuous rain increases the risk of infection and disease. Cold, cough, sore throat, fever, allergies, diarrhea and mosquito-borne diseases spread during the rainy season.
Immunity also becomes weak during the rainy season. Therefore, it becomes necessary to take some necessary health precautions during the monsoon season. Let us tell you today what to do if you want to keep yourself and your family healthy during this rainy season.
Do this to stay healthy in the rainy season
1. Cleanliness is very important, especially during the rainy season, pay special attention to cleanliness. Wash hands frequently with soap. Hands should be washed for 20 seconds, especially before eating, to kill disease-causing bacteria.
2. If you are around someone who has symptoms of cold, cough or flu, avoid contact with them as much as possible. To protect yourself, avoid coming in contact with sick people. Infections spread rapidly in such an environment.
3. Eat a healthy diet during monsoon to avoid getting sick and keep your immunity strong. Increase the amount of fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your diet during the rainy season. Avoid eating outside food during this time.
4. Sleep is very important for a healthy body. So try to get seven to eight hours of sleep every day. Apart from this, avoid going out of the house unless necessary during the rainy season.
5. It is also important to stay hydrated to stay healthy. Especially during the rainy season, the amount of heat and humidity increases, so keep taking more fluids including water.
6. Due to continuous rain, water gets accumulated at many places, in such a situation the possibility of mosquitoes breeding increases significantly. Therefore, if there is water logging around the house, then dispose of the water. Make sure that water does not collect anywhere, because dengue and malaria mosquitoes breed in the accumulated rainwater.
7. Cleaning is very important after continuous rain. Keep the house clean even in the rain. Make proper ventilation arrangements to avoid moisture and spread of disease.
