Monsoon diseases such as typhoid, cholera, and gastroenteritis are common. According to new research, contaminated water is the main cause of these diseases. Due to this, clean and boiled water should be drunk during the monsoon.

In this case, always drink boiled or filtered water. Avoid drinking water outside with street food. Clean the water bottle or container regularly. Drinking lemon, ginger and black salt mixed water improves immunity.

It is necessary to keep the immune system strong during the monsoon, as the risk of viral and bacterial infection increases in this season. A study published in 2024 found that diet rich in vitamin C, D and zinc is effective in increasing immunity.

Include orange, lemon, amla and green vegetables in your diet. Eat ginger, garlic, and turmeric, which naturally have anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. At the same time, a decoction made of basil, ginger and black pepper also proves beneficial.

Increasing the number of mosquitoes in the monsoon increases the risk of diseases like dengue, malaria and chikungunya. According to WHO, dengue cases increase during monsoon every year in India. To avoid mosquitoes, mosquito nets and mosquito repellent can be used in the house. Do not allow water to accumulate around the house, as it causes breeding of mosquitoes.

Fungal infections and skin related problems such as impattigo and itching are common due to moisture in the monsoon. Actually, bacteria and fungus spreads rapidly on the skin due to moisture. In such a situation, if you get wet during the rain, then immediately take a bath and keep the skin dry.

Humidity during the monsoon causes extra pressure on the heart. This condition can be more dangerous for heart patients. Adopt meditation and deep breathing techniques for stress management. Get a regular health checkup done.
