The rainy season is a time when the chance of catching disease and infections increases. That’s why you should be proactive when it comes to your health during this season. Here are four tips to stay healthy during the rainy season. 

Always Have Your Rain Gear Ready

If you haven’t bought them yet, it’s time to purchase some rain gear. Make sure you have an umbrella, raincoat, or rain boots. Whenever you go out, ensure that these rain gears are packed, especially if you commute. Try to stay as dry as possible to prevent developing rainy season diseases.

From clogged gutters, puddles of rainwater, and even floods, dirty water is common during the rainy season. These are a source of influenza, diarrhea, cholera, and even fungal skin infections! If you can’t avoid going out on rainy days, make sure to cover up nicely. Wear your rain boots to protect your feet from contaminated water. 

Control The Population Of Mosquitoes In Your Home

Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. And the worse thing is, they only need a bit of water to reproduce! For reference, they can lay their eggs in a bottle cap of water. Other than itching and discomfort, they can also transmit diseases such as dengue and others!

Check your home for any sources of standing water. Here are some of the places you may want to look at:

• Trash can lids
• Plant pots
• Pet bowls
• Buckets
• Tires
• Used cups
• Clogged gutters and drains

Other than mosquito eggs, you should also be wary of existing mosquitoes. These insects will take refuge in debris to avoid the wind. That’s why it’s a good idea to clean up grass clippings, compost piles, vegetation, fallen leaves, and the like in your yard.

Make Hand Washing A Habit

Because of the wet environment during the rainy season, pathogens that cause diseases are more active. That’s why you can easily come into contact with them and get sick. 

Germs can easily get into your body when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Make it a habit to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before you eat, touch your face, eat, or play with your kids. Handwashing with soap will remove the germs from your hands, preventing infections. 

If you can’t wash your hands because you’re outdoors, you can always use a hand sanitizer or alcohol. 

Boost Your Immunity With Supplements

To prevent getting sick during the rainy season — and all year round too — it’s a good idea to boost your immunity! Your immune system helps your body fight infections and other diseases. 

You can start boosting your immunity by consuming the following food that are high in vitamin C:

• Orange
• Lemon
• Bell pepper
• Strawberry
• Tomato
• Broccoli
• Cabbage
• Cauliflower

Vitamin C assists in encouraging the production of white blood cells that protect your body against infection. But if you can’t get them from your food, you can also boost your immunity with the help of supplements! Santé’s Daily-C is available in capsule form, so you can take them everywhere. But other than that, the supplement is made of a non-acidic form of vitamin C, so it’s even gentler on the tummy! 

If you want more immunity-boosting properties, you can also check out the Daily-C Plus, which is made of vitamin C and Zinc. Zinc is an important mineral that plays a role in your body’s development of immune cells!

If you prefer to have a drink instead of consuming capsules, you can also check out the Santé Fit N’ Trim. This barley green tea drink contains lemons, which are high in vitamin C!

Key Takeaway

The rainy season is a time when more people get sick. The wet environment encourages the spread of pathogens that cause diseases, so it’s easier to get ill. But by following these tips to stay healthy during the rainy season, you can protect your family from sickness! Don’t forget to take the Santé Daily-C and Fit N’ Trim to boost your immunity during this season.
