The rainy season is one of the most dreaded times for people around the world. With torrential rains, flash flooding and overflowing rivers, it can be quite a challenge to stay safe from all that bad weather has in store.
However, there are some simple tips you can follow to help boost your immune system and keep yourself as healthy as possible during this time of year.
Get vaccinated
The best way to protect yourself against seasonal flu and Covid-19 virus is by getting vaccinated. This will provide your body with antibodies specific to these viruses so that it has an easier time fighting off infection when it does occur.
Everyone is familiar with the flu, but not many are aware of the dangers of other diseases that can be transmitted during a rainfall.
Another one to be careful about is the Dengue Virus which is typically spread through mosquitoes. It is a mosquito-borne disease that can cause fever, rash, and joint pain. Swelling of the head and chest is also a common symptom. If left untreated, dengue can lead to death.
Hygiene
Wash hands regularly.
Bring along a hand sanitizer when travelling.
Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze and cough to prevent the spread of germs.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth after touching an elevator button or rails.
Avoid mosquito bites by putting on anti-mosquito lotion or spray. Keep your surroundings clean.
Drink More Water
Drinking water helps flush toxins out of your system and keeps your immune system strong. If you don’t drink enough water, your body may not function properly. This could lead to dehydration and fatigue. Dehydration causes your skin to become dry and irritated, making it harder to fight off infections.
Avoid too much drinking of alcohol, which can suppress the immune system.
Eat Foods that are High in Immunity-Boosting Properties
Foods that are high in Immunity-Boosting Properties include garlic, pineapple, aged cheddar cheese, and yogurt. Garlic specifically is believed to boost the body’s defense against infection by destroying dangerous bacteria and viruses. pineapple is a known source of vitamin C, which is essential for the absorption of other essential antioxidants. Aged cheddar cheese is high in protein and also contains thiamin, which supports the immune system. Yogurt is a perfect source of probiotics, which are good for maintaining a healthy gut flora.

Get a good night’s sleep and make sure to eat a balanced and healthy diet.
Exercise
Exercise is a great way to boost your immune system. Start off with easy exercises such as walking and stretching, and gradually move up to harder exercises as your stamina increases.
Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout to stay hydrated and give your body the energy it needs to fight off infection.
Try to schedule your workouts during the early morning or evening hours, when the weather is cooler and less humid.
Dress Properly for the Weather
Make sure to dress properly for the weather. Wear layers to keep warm and dry and avoid wearing tight clothes that will restrict movement.
Staying healthy this rainy season can be a challenge, but incorporating some of these easy tips into your routine can go a long way in boosting your immune system.
