#7 Habits To Avoid Getting Infected By Corona Virus Disease
Identified below habits based on my personal experience which helped me to safeguard me my family from virus in pandemic. If followed each one of them seriously , corona virus can never infect you for sure ....
1. Drink Hot Water
Drink hot or warm water every morning at least 100 ml
benefits: hot water intake helps to kill virus in mouth or throat , virus stays in mouth or throat for at least 12 hrs before entering into lungs.
So drinking hot/warm water in morning as well regular intervals if exposed to outside activity always helps to prevent corona disease at first stage itself.
2. Hot Water Steam
Take host water vapors or steam at least once or twice in a week
benefits: Steam enters through throat as well as nose which helps in displacing virus and killing them where drinking hot water helps a bit.
Taking steam regularly also removes virus appearing on most exposed body part i.e. face , nose , neck etc.
3. The Mask
Wear mask which can cover nose & mouth completely when at least 1 person is around at distance of 1 meter.
Do not move mask from chin to nose n vice versa it will increase the chances of infection due to virus presence on face.
Mask to be washed after every 2-3 usage if made up
of cloth.
benefits: mask helps to protect us from droplets from other infected person.
4. Social distancing
Keeping at least one hand distance from any one other individual than family members (incl animals too)
Stay away from all social gathering , crowded places , plan your visit to market in off peak hours such as early morning or on week day office timings.

Arsenic-30 tablets proven best immunity medicine during pandemic.
Adding any Vitamin 'C' fruits like kiwi , oranges , lemon to daily diet helps.
benefits: Immunity medicines keeps us away from generic disease like cold n cough and helps to keep body healthy to fight against corona.
Although , only taking immune medicines will not prevent from getting infected by corona as it has to be accompanied by other habits mentioned.
