[JUSTIFY]Share your Healthy Living tips to meet this year's rainy season.[/JUSTIFY]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me start :-

Drinking Water : Water is very essential irrespective of the season we are facing. During rainy season one many not feel thirsty but human body requires 2.5 litres of water every day. It not only keeps our body hyderated but also helps to flush out toxins out of our body.Hence it is a must to check our water intake and drink adequate water at frequent intervals.

Ensure water used for drinking and cooking purpose is clean and filtered or boiled.

Happy Monsoon!

Some great tips there, Mimur9 and Mahajanpragati. Thank you. You both have covered it all - allergies, infection and indigestion.

One more that I would like to add is:

Clean out all coolers, buckets and places where stagnant water collects and breeds mosquitoes. Invest in a few good mosquito nets and repellent creams too.

Keep the home dry as much as possible:-

no hanging of clothes unnecessarily as it may invite fungus growth

Keep the bathroom floor , toilet seats (in case of WC) dry. Use a wiper to dry the floors.

Dry the washed vessels & clothes well before you store them in cabinets

If your used clothes get wet dry them properly before you put them in laundry basket for wash.

See that the curtains are not moist

Always dry your hands before you touch things. Food / apparels etc

Electrical switches should be operated carefully due to dampness (chances of water leakage inside the concealed lines)
