The first moonshoes will undoubtedly be received with a refreshing sense of relief from the burning sun. It also causes many diseases and infections. If you care about some simple aspects of health, such as: Cleaning your hands, you can eliminate most of the monsoon-related diseases and make the weather even more enjoyable.
Follow a healthy diet.
The body and the digestive system are the most exposed to infections this season. Therefore, the daily diet must be balanced, nutritious and hygienic to improve immunity.
Illnesses during the rainy season are mainly transmitted by water. Be sure to drink pure filtered or boiled water.
Try to eat as much as possible fresh homemade dishes and avoid street food.
Avoid raw vegetables and salads, taking into account the risk of contamination, unless prepared after thorough washing and cleaning at home.
Avoid fatty foods that can interfere with digestion and cause digestive problems.
Stay hydrated
Drink enough water and stay hydrated.
Cold drinks can cause throat irritation, which can lead to other complications.
Caffeine-containing carbonated alcoholic beverages can cause heartburn, gastritis, and acid reflux. The sugars added in these drinks act as diuretics.
Fresh warm soups or herbal drinks such as ginger tea and lemon tea are a good idea, especially those with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Avoid being in a humid environment.
Walking in rainwater increases the risk of infectious diseases and can also cause many fungal infections in the feet and nails.
Clean and dry your body and wet feet immediately and do not bump into socks or wet shoes.
Diabetics should be extremely careful and avoid walking barefoot as the soil is riddled with all sorts of germs.
Do not stay long with wet hair or wet clothes, especially in an air-conditioned room.
If possible bring an extra pair of clothes and shoes with you as a replacement.
Keep the environment clean and dry.
Solve the problem of damp interiors, as the proliferation of fungi in asthmatics or other respiratory diseases can lead to an absolute burden.
Check unused pots and containers that may contain stagnant water, brood mosquitoes, wash them regularly, and cover them.
Cut the grass and the hedges and shrubs that are too big to get rid of insects and reptiles that find shelter.
Keep away from mosquitoes and insects.
Flooded areas are breeding grounds for insects and mosquitoes and thus avoid these areas.
If necessary, use mosquito, disinfectant and insect repellent without chemicals or herbs. However, make sure that they do not cause any other health or respiratory problems
Increase the immunity
Showering twice a day in the shower is a good protection against infections caused by the accumulation of sweat and dirt due to moisture.
The increased consumption of vitamin C increases immunity.
The use of a mild soap for the skin can prevent irritation and drying out of the skin.
Ensure good personal hygiene by washing your hands frequently with soap and clean water to avoid infection.
Protect your eyes, nose and mouth.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth without washing your hands, otherwise germs may spread.
Eye infections such as conjunctivitis, stomach, dry eyes and corneal ulcers are common during monsoon.
Do not touch your eyes, especially with dirty hands.
Who spends long hours in front of a screen (TV or computer), may also have redness, itching or irritation.
Wash your eyes with clear water or rose water to remove dirt and germs.
