6 Ways To Take Care Of Your Health In Rainy Season

The wet season (sometimes called the rainy season or monsoon season) is the time of year when most of a region’s average annual rainfall occurs. This season, according to findings, can take a toll on your health if you are not adequately prepared.

In this article, GWG.ng highlights some things to do for your health during the rainy season:

Keep your environment clean

The rainy season can lead to waterlogging and stagnant water, which can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects.

Make sure to keep your surroundings clean and dry to prevent the breeding of insects and the spread of diseases.

Stay hydrated always

The rainy season can make you feel cold and dehydrated, and it is essential to keep yourself hydrated.

Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day can help flush out toxins from your body and prevent waterborne diseases.

You can also opt for warm beverages such as herbal tea, soups, and broths to keep yourself warm and hydrated.

Protect yourself from mosquitoes

The rainy season is the breeding season for mosquitoes, and it is essential to protect yourself from mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, and chikungunya.

Use mosquito nets while sleeping and wear long-sleeved clothes to avoid mosquito bites. You can also use mosquito repellents to keep mosquitoes at bay.

Prepare for emergencies

It is essential to be prepared for emergencies during the rainy season.

Keep a first aid kit handy, and stock up on essential medicines such as painkillers, anti-allergens, and anti-diarrheal medicines.

It is also a good idea to have the contact details of your healthcare provider handy in case of emergencies.

By taking these steps, you can enjoy the rainy season without compromising your health.

Personal care

Good hygiene practices are essential to prevent the spread of infections during the rainy season.

Make sure to wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after coming in contact with contaminated surfaces.
