How to stay healthy in this monsoon

Drink clean and boiled water During the monsoon, water sources may become contaminated, which raises the risk of developing waterborne illnesses. Additionally, it is advised to always travel with a supply of drinking water and to only purchase sealed, packaged water when absolutely essential.

Refrain from having street food Popular street cuisine and freshly cut fruits are sold by a large number of hawkers and kept out in the open. As these foods are kept in the open and are susceptible to hazardous bacteria, it is recommended to avoid them.

Avoid stagnant water One of the most dangerous problems during the monsoon season is mosquito breeding. Such insects breed in stagnant water puddles surrounding the house and in open water storage containers at home.

Use washed fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables that have been purchased from the market must be scrubbed under running water. It is advised to avoid eating raw cut salads from street vendors during the monsoon season since many types of germs thrive on the skins of fruits and vegetables.

Get a good sleep Your immunity can be weakened by late hours at work or poor sleeping patterns, which can raise your risk of getting the flu and other cold- and flu-like symptoms during the monsoon season.

Wash hands Exercise routines that involve walking, skipping, yoga, cycling, or jogging may be hindered during the monsoon, but you shouldn't allow this season stop you from working out.

Avoid getting wet Being trapped in severe downpours nearly every other day in a city like Mumbai makes this easier said than done.
