Harmattan And You.

The Harmattan is a season in West Africa that occurs between the end of November and the middle of March. It is characterized by the dry and dusty wind.

The temperature is cold mostly at night in some places, but can be very hot in certain places during daytime. All can also depend on local circumstances.

Here are some tips that can help you cope healthy with the harmattan.

Stay hydrated

Water has always been an essential part of our daily routine, but during Harmattan consider water even more important. As the weather gets drier, drinking enough water would help you stay hydrated and prevent you from falling sick and dehydrated.

Keep your skin moisturized

Ensure that your skin, especially parts of the body that are left uncovered when you’re dressed, are well moisturized. Examples are your lips, your arms, palms, face, feet etc. Before setting out ensure you have your moisturizers (including lip balms or lotions) with you.
Dust your homes regularly

Harmattan can leave your house extremely dusty especially your furniture, your windows, curtains, rugs and carpets. To prevent inhalation of the dust which can cause allergies and other sicknesses, ensure you dust and clean your homes every day. Also, make sure you cover your nose and mouth (using a nose mask preferably) while dusting the home.

Take enough Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the most important vitamins you need during Harmattan, it helps boost your immune system to fight possible infections like cold and flu. It also nourishes the skin and helps to improve the healing of wounds. Therefore, you need to eat enough fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C like citrus fruits (oranges, tangerine, lemon etc).
