How to boost your immunity after Holi: During the celebration of Holi, we often stay outside for a long time, come in contact with colors and dust, eat and drink too much and our daily routine also gets disturbed. All these together can make the body tired, dehydrated or vulnerable to diseases caused by changing weather. During the transition from winter to spring, temperature fluctuations and allergies also affect immunity. In such a situation, it is important to pay attention to the body’s recovery and immunity after the festival, so that common problems like sore throat, cough, fatigue or allergies can be avoided. According to Dr. Vineet Arora, the effect of changing weather and colors of Holi can put more pressure on the body. Due to water, sunlight and chemical colors, immunity can become weak and you may feel tired. Nutrition also plays an important role in recovery.
Anshul Singh says that due to festivals and changing weather, dust, pollution, lack of sleep and heavy food can weaken immunity and increase cough, cold or stomach problems. First of all, prioritize good sleep and rest. During festivals, the sleep schedule gets disturbed, due to which the body gets tired. Dr. Arora says that good sleep helps the body recover quickly. Try to get seven to eight hours of sleep. Hydration is very important after Holi.
