As soon as the month of March starts, the weather has taken a turn. Light cold is being felt in the morning and evening and strong sunlight in the afternoon is indicating heat to the people, hence this time Holi is also falling in the early days of March. In this era of changing weather, where the markets are decorated with colors and sweets, consumption of cold things can also be harmful for them.
Let us tell you that as soon as the name of Holi comes, the picture of thandai, ice cream and cold water from the fridge, cold drinks starts emerging in people’s mind. Many people start consuming cold drinks and cold things even before Holi, but this carelessness can take a toll on health. These days, the number of patients suffering from throat infection, cold, cough and fever has started increasing in hospitals. And doctors are continuously advising people not to consume it.
The doctor gave information
While talking to Local 18, Dr. Satyendra Kumar, posted at Manikpur CHC, told that this weather is the most sensitive, neither the cold has gone completely nor the heat has come completely. In such a situation, it is important to keep the body temperature balanced, if too much cold food is consumed at this time, then problems like throat infection, viral fever and tonsils can increase rapidly. Holi festival is a symbol of colors and enthusiasm, but one should not be careless in it.
Caution is necessary not only about food, but also about colors.
In further information, he said that the consumption of cold drinks, fridge water and ice cream should be minimized. Also keep gargling with lukewarm water in between, so that the throat remains healthy. At present, most of the patients coming to the hospital are suffering from throat infection related problems.
Not only about food, it is important to be careful about colors also, there are a lot of cheap and chemical artificial colors in the markets. He has warned people that such colors can cause skin allergies, eye irritation and infection, sometimes their use for a long time also increases the risk of serious diseases. He advised to use only herbal and natural colors while playing Holi.
