Be it a small ride in the rain or a football match, or just enjoying by simply drenching. Each one of these activities actually does contribute to adverse health effects. Thus here we explain some scenarios to look after during the rainy season.

  1. Increase your Vitamin C intake.
    The rainy season also is a good supplier of Communicable diseases, viral infections, allergies and all different kinds of flu. To withstand and shield this we have to enhance our immune system, especially in the middle of a pandemic. Vitamin C intake improves the immune system, thus it can be consumed as medication or by food. Eating sprouts, fresh green vegetables and citrus fruits also contribute to high immunity levels.
