Drink boiled water

Waterborne diseases spread very fast during monsoon . Germs also start growing rapidly in this season, which can contaminate drinking water. Therefore, drink water after boiling it properly. This will kill the germs present in the water. Also, do not leave the water open. This can cause mosquitoes to lay their eggs in it.

Don’t eat street food

As soon as a few drops of rain fall, we start craving to eat outside food. However, flies keep sitting on the food kept outside in the open, due to which the food gets contaminated and eating it can cause infection. Secondly, there is no guarantee whether fresh vegetables have been added to street food or not and whether they have been cleaned properly or not. So, suppress your desire a little during monsoon and eat only home-cooked food.

Do not eat raw food

In monsoon, insects and germs start growing on raw vegetables and fruits. Therefore, eating them raw can be harmful for you. Therefore, avoid drinking salad or juice etc. in this season and eat vegetables only after washing and cooking them properly.

Eat Probiotics

Boost your immunity
