51动漫\u2019s<\/a> (UNAIR) Faculty of Public Health\u2014shared expert advice on staying healthy during this transitional period. He explained that changes in temperature and humidity can suppress immune function, while airborne dust and pollutants may carry disease-causing organisms.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\u201cRespiratory illnesses are particularly common. Airborne particles filled with bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens can lead to acute respiratory infections (ARI). Additionally, as temperatures rise during the transition to the dry season, staying properly hydrated becomes crucial for maintaining overall health,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n
Maintaining healthy habits<\/strong><\/p><\/h5>\n\n
Dr. Rifqi emphasized the importance of hygiene, especially during weather shifts. He recommended practicing proper hand hygiene to minimize the risk of viral and bacterial transmission through physical contact.<\/p><\/p>\n\n
\u201cIf possible, wearing a mask while traveling can be an effective preventive step against airborne pathogens,\u201d he noted. \u201cEqually important is regular physical activity\u2014even light, consistent exercise can help enhance overall fitness and immunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\nDr. Mahmud Aditya Rifqi, lecturer and nutritionist at UNAIR’s Faculty of Public Health (Source: By courtesy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nBalanced eating habits<\/strong><\/p><\/h5>\n\nRegarding nutrition, Dr. Rifqi advised consuming foods rich in antioxidants, particularly vitamin C, to strengthen the immune system. He recommended a balanced diet with ample fruits and vegetables and stressed the importance of protein intake as a key building block for the body. <\/p>\n\n
\u201cPay attention to portion sizes. Moderate your carbohydrate intake and avoid excessive consumption of fatty foods, especially when your immune system is under strain,\u201d he explained. \u201cA balanced diet that meets the body\u2019s needs for carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals is essential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
He also warned against irregular eating habits. In the short term, they may lead to foodborne illnesses, while in the long term, frequent consumption of fried foods could contribute to high cholesterol and increased risk of heart disease.<\/p><\/p>\n\n
\u201cFor students, it\u2019s important to get enough rest and avoid staying up late. Carrying a water bottle is also a simple way to ensure you meet your daily hydration needs\u2014around two liters a day,\u201d he concluded. \u201cPair that with physical activity, like walking, to help your metabolism function properly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
