Stay Healthy This Monsoon with Dr. Hinesh Acharya
The monsoon season is a welcome relief to the summer heat, but it does have idiosyncratic health issues. A fair increase in humidity, water stagnation, and constant temperature change can cause a spike in infections, allergies, and digestive health problems. Thus, emphasizing preventive care is all-important.
Based in Ahmedabad, internal medicine expert and bridge engineer, Dr. Hinesh Acharya, has shared some practical and proven monsoon health tips to keep you and your family healthy this season.
1. Building Immunity:
The first line of defense during monsoon season is immunity. Dr. Hinesh Acharya stated include foods that help build immunity: ginger, garlic, turmeric, citrus fruits and vegetables, leafy greens. Additionally, probiotics (like curd or buttermilk) are great simply for gut health.
2. Hydration with Clean/Filtered Water:
In monsoon season, unfiltered water (tap water) is just asking for waterborne diseases (typhoid, cholera, gastroenteritis). Drink only filtered/boiled water and buy no juices unless prepared with filtered water.
3. Freshly Cooked but Light Meals:
Due to the high humidity levels we tend to digest food slower (regardless of conditions). Dr. Acharya recommended making mealtime with freshly cooked light meals (easily digestible). Daringly to eat freshly deep-fried spicy (not greasy) or raw (stomach bug) street food is sure to end unceremoniously with food infections.
4. Protect Against Mosquito-Borne Illnesses
With the increase of rainstorms, disease transmission from mosquitoes like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya also increases. Mosquito repellents can be used, full sleeved clothes are recommended for outside wear, and water must not be allowed to stagnate around your home.
5. Personal hygiene
In this season, there's an increased susceptibility for illness in the form of fungal infections, colds, and skin rashes. So best to keep your skin as dry as possible, wash your hands frequently, and wear breathable clothing. Staying in wet clothes is also not a good idea.
