Monsoons can bring a lot of joy but they can also bring some health risks if you don’t take the necessary precautions. To stay healthy and safe during this season, it is important to keep certain health & hygiene tips in mind. This article will discuss some of the most important tips that you should follow to ensure your well-being during monsoons.
As the monsoon season approaches, it is important to pay attention to our health and take preventive measures. During this time, we need to be extra careful as the rains bring along many illnesses such as cold, flu, fever and more. Here are 4 essential health tips that can help us stay healthy during the monsoon season:
- Protection Wear a raincoat and appropriate clothing: A rain coat is essential to protect yourself from the rain. It can also be used as a blanket, which can help you conserve body heat during the cold weather. Wear layers of clothes and pants that are appropriate for the weather such as long-sleeved shirts, hats, gloves and more so that they don’t negatively affect your skin when exposed to the wind or water.
- Sanitation Keep your hands clean: Hand sanitizer should be in every home during monsoon season! It is important to wash your hands frequently to prevent illnesses such as cold and flu. To avoid getting sick, use hand sanitizer before preparing food, eating or after going to the bathroom.
- Electrolytes Drink plenty of fluids: It is important to drink a lot of fluids in order not only to stay hydrated but also for electrolyte replenishment as well. The best way is through water and healthy drinks like fruit juices, soda, coconut water and other sports drinks. Water should be consumed in large amounts every day along with a variety of foods including fruits, vegetables, lean protein (meat or seafood) and whole grains
4. Maintain skin health: The monsoon season brings dryness which also means our skin will start to crack more easily and become dryer than usual in between showers. This causes severe itchiness
