Monsoons entice you and increase your cravings for street food. But these cravings can come at a cost. During monsoons, food and water are the two things that get contaminated easily. This eventually leads to diseases such as diarrhea, since this season is a time for germs and bacteria to breed in large numbers. To help you out, here are some tips to help you prevent diarrhea during monsoons.
Tips To Prevent Diarrhea During Monsoons
- Drink boiled water
- Wash your hands before you eat
- Avoid outside food and go for homemade hygienic food.
- If you are eating in a restaurant, avoid leafy vegetables as you can’t be sure if it is cleaned properly
- Always eat well cleaned and washed vegetables and avoid leftover food
- Do not eat fish as it is breeding time and there are chances that you might get a stomach upset or an infection
- Avoid getting wet in the rains as much as you can to avoid all the bacteria around you
As our body is susceptible to infections, taking some precautions is good, but in case you do get diarrhea, here are few things you can do:
- Boil water and drink throughout day as diarrhea dehydrates the body
- Do not have solid food. Eat clear, liquid food initially
- In case of less severe diarrhea, cooked rice and curd can be included gradually after a liquid diet
- Drink lots of warm herbal teas, especially with antibacterial properties such as basil leaves, ginger, pepper and honey
- Digestion process is slow during monsoon because of the humidity in atmosphere, so eat moderately only when you are hungry
- Include antioxidant rich foods such as green tea, fresh fruits and nuts to fight against infections
