Something has come to Pune city more irritable and harmful than the jackpot winning spam mails we all receive. Now that we are going crazy over it and suddenly life seems like standing at a cliff's edge, let's look at what can we do:
THE MASK
As the H1N1 (another dreadful serious name) virus is transmitted through air, it is advisable to wear the green medical masks available at the chemist while moving outdoors. The recommended mask to wear is the N95, buy them from reliable, authorized sources. Again, the masks are no guarantee that you will be 100% safe. So just avoid the crowd for the time being.
KEEP DRINKING WATER
Drinking eight to ten large glasses of water acts as a flush for the body toxins. So drink water at regular intervals.
WASH YOUR HANDS
Wash your hands frequently (Once every two hours probably), and always before eating.
SLEEP DEEP AND LONG
Ensure that you get your eight hours of peaceful slumber. It's good for your immunity.
A STRONG BODY
Eat your green vegetables, whole grains and vitamin rich foods. Exercise can be a crucial factor as it builds resistance to counter any illness.
NO ALCOHOL, NO SMOKING!
Alcohol consumption can actually reduce your resistance levels, so here is another good reason to abandon the habit. Ditto for smoking.
STAY AWAY FROM CROWDS
Avoid mingling in huge crowds. If any person is sick, maintain a safe distance, preferably ten feet.
BEWARE OF SUDDEN PERSISTENT COUGH OR HIGH FEVER
If you suffer from any of the symptoms, do consult a doctor and take the prescribed treatment.
