Monsoon (File)
As the monsoon rains sweep across India on June 20, 2025, they bring relief but also health hazards. The damp, humid conditions create a breeding ground for germs, leading to a surge in seven common diseases. Staying vigilant and boosting immunity through diet can help you navigate the rainy season safely.
Dengue: Mosquitoes thrive in stagnant water, spreading this fever-causing virus.
Malaria: Another mosquito-borne illness, it causes chills and high fever.
Typhoid: Contaminated water and food lead to this bacterial infection.
Gastroenteritis: Viral or bacterial infections cause stomach upset and vomiting.
Flu: Humid weather fosters viral infections, leading to colds and coughs.
Preventive measures like clean water, mosquito nets, and hygiene are essential to avoid these risks.
A strong immune system is your best defense. Citrus Fruits: Oranges and lemons, rich in vitamin C, enhance white blood cell production.
Ginger: Its anti-inflammatory properties help fight infections; add it to tea or soups.
Turmeric: Curcumin in turmeric boosts immunity and fights bacteria; use it in curries or milk.
Spinach: Packed with vitamins A and C, it supports immune function; eat it lightly cooked.
Yogurt: Probiotics in yogurt strengthen gut health, a key immunity factor; choose unsweetened varieties.
These foods, easily available, fortify your body against monsoon ailments.
Beyond diet, boil drinking water, wash vegetables thoroughly, and avoid street food to reduce infection risks. Use mosquito repellents and keep surroundings dry to prevent breeding grounds. Regular handwashing also curbs germ spread.\
The monsoon’s charm comes with challenges, but proactive steps can keep you safe. By eating immunity-boosting foods and staying cautious, you can enjoy the rains without falling prey to these seven diseases.
