This year’s dengue infection outbreak has been particularly bad, with several cases of infections turning critical and necessitating hospitalisation. Dengue fever is very prevalent and usually causes only minor symptoms; nevertheless, severe dengue might attack someone who has a high-risk condition. The dengue infection can progress to dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, which can afflict both adults and children and are both life-threatening. Dengue fever symptoms include muscle pain, bone pain, joint pain, rashes, high temperature, throbbing headache, vomiting, and nausea. Dengue fever can create serious health problems since it weakens the immune system, and as a result, the person may experience problems after recovery.

Follow these tips to prevent Dengue:

Yoga builds immunity

A strong immune system helps you prevent dengue which can be developed through holistic practices like yoga. But if you have dengue, yoga can help in quick recovery from dengue fever. Strong immunity will also treat the initial symptoms of dengue.

Take care of your diet

Do not eat anything that is oily or spicy. Consume freshly cooked meals that have ingredients like black pepper and elaichi in them. Other immunity-boosting foods that you can add to your diet include citrus foods, garlic, almonds, turmeric, and many more.
