Learn how rain can affect your health

Getting caught in the rain doesn’t directly make you sick. It’s the viruses that spread through close contact, respiratory droplets, and contaminated surfaces that cause colds and flu.

People get sick during the rainy season because cold and wet conditions can lower body temperature and affect the body’s natural defenses. Spending more time indoors and in close contact with others can also increase the spread of viruses.

In the Philippines, the rainy season can bring more respiratory illnesses, including colds and flu caused by viruses like rhinoviruses and influenza viruses.

Simple precautions can help you stay healthy throughout the rainy season. To avoid catching these illnesses, here are some simple tips:

1. Stay clean and dry at all times
If you get caught in the rain, take a shower, change into dry clothes, and warm up as soon as possible.

2. Always bring rain gear
Keep an umbrella or raincoat handy, especially when heading out during the rainy season.

3. Take food supplements
Help support your body with CM-Glucan, which helps balance the immune system with proper diet and exercise. CM-Glucan can be found in Immunomax and produces more antibodies than Vitamin C.

Help keep your body strong during the rainy season or any weather with proper diet and exercise.

Here’s how CM-Glucan and other natural supplements can help support your immune system (with proper diet and exercise) Allergies happen when your immune system overreacts to substances that are normally harmless. Things like pollen, dust, mold, or pet dander can trigger your body, leading to uncomfortable symptoms. When this immune response becomes imbalanced, it may cause reactions like sneezing, itchy eyes, a runny nose, rashes, or nasal congestion. For some people, these symptoms appear seasonally, while some others experience them year-round. While medications are commonly used to relieve allergy symptoms, many people also look for natural ways to support their immune system and reduce triggers.
