Six Painless Ways to Save Plenty of Water💧

Warning! Dengue is on Rise ⚠️ No Vaccine can Stop it

Thanks to the hot and humid weather conditions, breakbone fever is spreading like wildfire. No vaccines. What is our best choice? Simple old prevention.


One of the easiest steps to preventing dengue is to Fight the bite. Only personal protection and environmental management of mosquitoes can help prevent this disease.





Personal protection


Avoid visiting areas prone to mosquitos. If you find yourself in an area with a lot of mosquitos, consider the following clothing tips.

  • Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.

  • Wear socks and tuck your pants in socks.

  • Wear light-colored clothing as mosquitoes are more likely to be attracted to darker colors.

  • Apply mosquito repellant to your clothes and shoes.

  • You can also apply mosquito repellant to your skin during the day / night / when you leave the house.





Consider using a mosquito net for your bedding, windows, and doors.





Environmental management



  • Prevent mosquito breeding inside and outside your home. Spray insecticide in dark corners of your home.

  • Get rid of standing water. Never let wet garbage build up in your home.

  • Close all doors and windows and light camphor in a room and let the smoke stay for about fifteen to twenty minutes.

  • Grow basil bushes near your windows. Basil's natural insecticidal properties keep mosquitos away.

  • Use lavender oil as a natural room freshener to keep mosquitoes at bay.



Facts about dengue


Dengue fever is transmitted by the vector Aedes aegypti mosquito and can be caused by one of the 4 dengue viruses. Once you become infected with the dengue virus, you develop resistance to it and will be immunized against it for the rest of your life.

But here's the catch: you can still get infected by the 3 other viruses. There is also the possibility of getting infected by all 4 viruses in your life. Watta fun!

High fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, joint pain, skin rash, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting are some symptoms of dengue fever. These symptoms can appear within 3-4 days of the virus entering your body and last for at least 10 days.

If you think you may have dengue fever, you should rest, drink plenty of fluids, and have your blood tested by your doctor. Any preventive measures can help you control mosquitoes effectively, but today mosquitos are here, there and all around us.



What foods should you eat in dengue?



Oranges


Orange is a nutrient-dense fruit that's packed with fiber, essential vitamins, and minerals. It is especially rich in vitamin C, a very important antioxidant that the body needs during recovery.





Coconut water


Dengue fever leads to severe dehydration. The body needs plenty of hydrating and relaxing fluid intake like coconut water. This has more nutrients and electrolytes to flush out toxins, which allows you to recover faster.





Papaya leaves


Dengue virus can cause platelets to drop rapidly. 30 ml of fresh papaya leaf juice helps to increase the platelet count and is therefore helpful in treating dengue fever.





pomegranate


Pomegranate is a great source of iron that can help maintain platelet counts. This can help your body improve faster.





spinach


Spinach is rich in vitamins, iron and omega-3 fatty acids. In addition to strengthening the immune system, it helps to recover from the infection faster.





Basil leaves


Basil leaves have the ability to improve your overall immunity. Chewing 5-6 basil leaves has been recommended as an effective Ayurvedic treatment for dengue fever.


What foods to avoid in dengue fever?


While there are no specific foods that should be avoided during this disease, some types are best when kept in a bay.





Greasy / fried food


A lot of fat can lead to high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which can dampen your path to recovery by weakening your immune system. So opt for a lighter diet than fatty foods.





Spicy food


Spicy foods can cause acid to build up in the stomach, causing ulcers and wall damage. This, in turn, could hinder the recovery process as your body has to fight twice as many diseases.





Beverages containing caffeine


Caffeinated drinks should be avoided at all costs as they cause rapid heart rate, fatigue, caffeine crashes, and muscle breakdown.


Attention


While home remedies can effectively include ...
