Health Tips for this Month
With summer season round the corner, we all will need to drink more quantity of water to stay hydrated. Drinking unsafe water can lead to water-borne diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea, hepatitis A, typhoid and polio. Drink mineral water only if it is supplied by reliable established brands. In case when you are unsure of your water source, boil the water for at least one minute. This will destroy harmful organisms in the water. Let it cool naturally before drinking.
