Staying healthy during the rainy season in Africa can be a challenge due to the increased risk of water-borne diseases. The rains not only bring relief from the scorching sun but also an array of health hazards. However, with proper preparation and the use of a HomePure Nova, you can stay healthy and avoid the risks associated with the rainy season.
Tips and Strategies for Rainy Season Wellness
The increase in humidity, coupled with the stagnant water, creates an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes and other disease-carrying pests, especially during the rainy season. Heavy rains often lead to flooding, which can contaminate water sources and trigger disease outbreaks. However, you can prepare yourself and your family so that you are safe from these threats.
Here are some ways to stay healthy during the rainy season.
1. Use HomePure Nova
Drinking contaminated water can lead to various diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery. Boiling water is a common way of bacteria and virus-free water, but this may not always be feasible, especially when there is a shortage of firewood or other fuel sources. Using a water filter like HomePure Nova can be a more practical solution as it removes harmful contaminants from the water and is easy to use.
2. Cover your food and drinks
The rainy season brings an increase in flies and other pests that can contaminate your food and drinks. Covering your food and drinks can prevent these pests from landing on them and spreading disease.
3. Avoid stagnant water
Stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests that can carry diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. Avoid areas with stagnant water and take measures to prevent water from pooling around your home.
4. Maintain good hygiene
Good hygiene practices such as washing your hands regularly, keeping your living area clean, and maintaining personal hygiene can go a long way in preventing the spread of disease.
5. Take supplements
Top up your food with a healthy dose of Vitamin C and other supplements that keep your body fit and fighting. Take a look at QNET’s Health products that are designed to give you the nutritional support you need to live a healthy life. Add a dose of natural fruits and vegetables that help boost your body’s immunity.
Note: If you experience any symptoms of illness such as fever, diarrhoea, or vomiting, seek medical attention early. Delaying treatment can lead to more severe illness and complications.
