Rainy Season Simple Tips

Summertime is over, here comes the rain! Too bad, your health might be washed out along with the outpouring water. Keep your cool pal for it is not the rain that brings common colds and flu. To tell you honestly, it is the quick transmission of bacteria and viruses that boosts the number of people getting sick during the cold season.

Perhaps you might have noticed that people tend to flock indoors during these times. As a result, microorganisms are easily passed from one person to another. That explains the risk of catching fever in rainy days. Luckily, you can keep yourself fit and healthy all throughout the wet season by observing healthy and hygienic lifestyle.

Maintaining a good hygiene is the most practical way to avoid bacterial and viral infections. Keeping yourself sanitized drives away millions of microbes around. In fact, a simple handwash can spare you from countless germs as your hands seem to be the busiest part of you. How much more favour can a regular bath bring you?

In the same way, you should also keep your place clean. Most likely, accumulated rain water makes a great breeding place for insects and parasites. Worst, it might be home to the dreaded dengue-carrying mosquito. Consequently, it is highly advised to empty containers, ditches, and canals from stagnant water in your neighbourhood. Nonetheless, you should also observe cleanliness indoors.

No worries, if ever you’ve got in contact with infectious microorganisms. Nothing beats the protective shield of a strong immune system. In case you have not heard yet, it keeps your biological system free from pathogens (disease-causing organisms) by means of natural extermination. In order to sustain its vital functions, you need to nourish yourself with sufficient vitamins.

A regular dose of citric acid can strengthen your immune system. Vitamin C is accessible in most fruits and vegetables served on the dining table. For instance, the typical Guava fruit contains twice as much citric acid as that in an orange. Moringa leaves locally known as “malunggay,” hold the total vitamin C content of seven oranges. There are also affordable over-the-counter supplements sold in drug stores.

Rainwater outpour might be dismaying but you should never spoil your personal hydration needs. The human body has to be hydrated by 50-80% to sustain normal cellular functions. Besides, Hydrogen Oxide has inherent healing properties to keep the body well. Common cough and colds can be treated by regular intake of water in order to flush out mucus from the system.

Getting rid of excess water along with body toxins is called detoxification. Among other means, sweating happens to be the simplest yet most effective means to detoxify. Perspiration facilitates the release of extra body fluids, minerals, and chemicals. To sweat out regularly, an exercise habit is highly desirable.

Physical activities that elicit generous sweat can drain the body, though. Aside from water and nutrient replenishment, you should treat yourself with a good rest. Six to eight hours of sleep can provide ample time for physiological and neurological recovery. Amidst the slumber, the body commences muscular reparation, memory update, and many other involuntary functions.

Sure, you can stay fit and healthy all throughout the wet season alongside these handy tips!
