Cold wind in the morning, heat during the day, and cold again in the evening. This changing weather can make you sick. You can avoid this by taking some precautions.
The weather has started changing. Light heat has also started to be felt, but due to weather changes and rains intermittently, the feeling of cold has not completely ended yet. This is the reason why in this changing season, people have started falling victim to many diseases like colds, fever, body aches, headache, eye irritation, stomach ache, flu, and eczema. Problems of asthma patients also increase in this season. Those people whose immunity is already weak are at greater risk of diseases. In such a situation, there is a need to make some changes in the lifestyle according to the changing weather.
Do not run the fan
The weather is changing rapidly, hence one feels cold in the morning and evening and hot in the afternoon. In such a situation, people who come from outside in the afternoon, feel the desire to turn on the fan as soon as they come home, but do not make such a mistake even by mistake, because this is the biggest cause of illness. This causes heat and cold, due to which after some time one starts feeling a fever. Therefore, whenever you come from outside, even if you feel hot, do not turn on the fan, rather sit comfortably for some time. The temperature will automatically start feeling normal.
Attention to cleanliness
The easiest way to avoid diseases like cold and flu is to keep your hands clean. Our hands are always dirty because most people cough or sneeze with their hands in front or keep wiping their noses with their hands the whole time. Therefore, it is very important to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. If you are in a place where you cannot wash your hands, keep sanitizer with you and keep using it. If you are suffering from asthma, keep yourself warm and follow all the instructions given by the doctor. If eczema occurs, keep applying coconut or sunflower oil on the skin and take medicines as per the doctor's advice.
Which diet
Those who are easily affected by diseases like cold and fever, their immune system is weak. Such women should consume such foods in their diet, which strengthen immunity. You can drink green tea or black tea, but only drink one or two cups a day. Drinking too much of it can be harmful. Apart from this, you can consume raw garlic, curd, oats, and foods containing Vitamin D and C, such as lemon and gooseberry.
Change with weather
Mood swings are more in changing seasons, hence you should take more carbohydrates in your diet. This diet keeps away from mood swings and depression and makes the heart and mind feel good. Carbohydrates are found in abundance in rice, wheat, apples, and dry fruits. You should also include Vitamin D in your diet. In this season, one should consume more fruits and vegetables, especially green vegetables. Vegetables like carrots, radishes, and tomatoes should be consumed in large quantities because the antioxidants present in them protect you from diseases.
Distance from patients
If you are unwell, then you should stay at home and rest or work from home, so that other people are saved from falling ill. To avoid infection, do not go to crowded areas. If a person is already suffering from a cold or fever then avoid shaking hands or hugging him and maintain distance.
Greater impact on children
Change of weather and children's examinations both come together, so parents should take special care of their children's care and lifestyle so that the child does not fall ill and can perform better in the examinations. Attention should also be paid to children's proper diet, sleep, exercise, and sports. In this season, children start suffering from fever, nasal congestion, cough, sore throat, sneezing, body aches, and infections. In this season, not only cold and cough trouble children, but vomiting, diarrhea, skin infection, stomach diseases, dehydration, and pneumonia can also occur.
Children are careless about their eating habits and lifestyle, due to which they become victims of diseases. Children stop wearing caps and socks as soon as they feel even the slightest heat. With the sudden onset of cold in the evening, they become vulnerable to cold. It is also important to take care of cleanliness at this time because as the weather changes, diseases caused by bacteria also start occurring.
Be sure to feed seasonal vegetables and fruits to the child. Whenever you feed milk to the child, add a little turmeric to it. This increases immunity. Be sure to include fruits containing Vitamin C in your diet. Chyawanprash is full of medicinal properties, which help in keeping diseases away, hence definitely feeding it to the child. Ask the child to drink an adequate amount of water. This will prevent him from becoming a victim of dehydration.
