The monsoon season in India gives the people of the city a good relief from the heat waves of the summer.
Nevertheless, this period may also lead to specific physical health issues, with women being the most vulnerable.
From skin diseases to seasonal mood swings, this time of the year should be taken with additional care. The following are the five most important health tips to follow:
1. Keep Your Skin Game Strong
Sticky weather = skin drama. Fungal infections, rashes—you name it, monsoons’ got it.
Honestly, if you’re not hopping in the shower daily with some solid antiseptic soap, you’re just asking for trouble.
Dry off well, especially between your toes (athlete’s foot is real, folks). Cotton clothes? Non-negotiable. Oh, and slap on some moisturiser unless you wanna go full crocodile. Don’t slack on intimate hygiene either—UTIs happen easily in monsoon.
2. Eat Smart, Focus on Diet
Monsoon turns every street corner into an infectious party. Load up on Vitamin C, including oranges, guavas, and more in your diet.
Toss in some zinc from nuts, don’t skimp on leafy greens. Hot soups and fresh homemade food are better than cold salads this season.
3. Hydration Isn’t Just for Summer
Look, just because it’s not blazing hot doesn’t mean you can skip the water. Drink up, but make sure it’s boiled or filtered. Take your bottle when you go out. Stay away from street drinks..
4. Care for Your Mental Health
Grey skies and cabin fever? Welcome to the monsoon blues. Yoga helps. So does texting your friends memes at 2 AM or binge-watching something ridiculous?
Let some sunlight in if you spot it, or light up a citrus candle. Little mood boosts go a long way.
5. Guard Against Mosquitoes
Full sleeves, bug spray, and a crusade against every puddle in your neighbourhood, it’s kind of a must.
Dengue fever and malaria are not just dramatic headlines; they’re real. Sleeping with a mosquito net? Honestly, you’ll sleep better minus the buzzing.
Stay safe and healthy this rainy season. Small daily care can keep you happy and strong.
