Monsoon Health Alert: Preventing Seasonal Gut Infections

During the monsoon season, heavy rains and high humidity can cause more stomach infections.

Doctors say that nearly 70% of disease outbreaks in India are due to dirty water and food.

Bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli grow faster in humid weather, making people sick with problems like typhoid, diarrhoea, and hepatitis.

To stay healthy, doctors recommend drinking only boiled or purified water, eating freshly cooked meals, and avoiding street food and raw salads.

Eating curd and buttermilk can help with digestion.

It's also important to stay active, get enough sleep, and manage stress.

If you have severe symptoms like fever or blood in your stools, see a doctor instead of relying on home remedies.
