But in fact, both in the dry season and in the rainy season, the need for fluids in the body remains the same. Do not think of consuming water only when you are thirsty, but try to think that all the food that enters the body will be properly digested if the body fluids are satisfied.

Environmental cleanliness should also be considered. Clean up the environment in places that have the potential to become breeding grounds for germs and bacteria. For example, burying or burning garbage, closing holes that have the potential to collect rainwater, closing water tanks, cutting branches and grass that has too much shade. The environment is shady, humid and dirty places will become a breeding ground for mosquitoes that cause the reproduction of dengue.

So even if it rains, you can still exercise.

8.    Pay Attention To Sleep Patterns

The cold air during the rainy season invites drowsiness. But never ignore this drowsiness. Get plenty of rest and sleep, but don't oversleep.
