Make sure you keep a balanced diet as during the monsoon season the digestion is slow. Hence, one must eat moderately and only when hungry. Eat clean and fresh food. Remember to wash all your fruits and vegetables before consumption.
3. Keep clothes & footwear clean-
During monsoon, lose cotton clothes are the best choice. Avoid wearing jeans and tight fitted clothes. Try using talcum powder to avoid fungal infections. Do not wear wet shoes and avoid walking barefoot.
4. Avoid puddles and pot holes-
Avoid wetting your feet and save yourself from puddles as much as possible. Usually these puddles can lead to fungal infections and athlete's foot.

If the morning drizzles make you lazy, exercise at home. Make sure you flex your muscles every day and avoid sleeping during the day.
