Monsoon is such a beautiful season, but yes, it brings its own set of health challenges. I feel staying hydrated with clean water, avoiding outside food, and keeping our surroundings dry and clean really helps. Adding turmeric milk or ginger tea in the evening is really helpful.

True. Itโ€™s very important to take precautions during monsoon to stay healthy.

Few more things that we can do:

  1. Disinfect doorknobs, switches & phones regularly
  2. All leafy vegetables should be soaked in water with salt or vinegar and washed properly, as during monsoon they may contain more dirt, pests, and microbes
  3. Avoiding raw or cut fruits that are mostly sold outdoors
  4. Foot care with antifungal powder
  5. Cleaning ceiling fans as they collect dust and mold, and when used in humid conditions, they can circulate more allergens and irritants
  6. Taking care of gut health by eating fermented or probiotic foods like curd or home-made pickles

Monsoon is indeed a beautiful season, but it also comes with an increased risk of health problems like viral fevers, water-borne diseases, mosquito borne diseases and respiratory problems. It is always better to be precautious to avoid diseases:

  • Drink clean and boiled water
  • Keep your surroundings clean and avoid water logging which can cause mosquito breeding
  • Maintain proper personal hygiene
  • Avoid street food as much as possible
