Diwali is the time when we get together with family to celebrate a happy and safe Diwali. Following safety tips should be followed to enjoy a happy Diwali.
•First Aid Box: Always keep a first-aid box handy as precaution is always better than cure. The kit must contain burn-relief ointments, bandage for bruises/cuts and antiseptic solution etc.
•Safety with Firecrackers: Buy only good quality crackers preferably green crackers and burst them in open areas. Green crackers are not 100% pollution free. However, they cause 30% less pollution than existing crackers. Also, keep a fire extinguisher handy along with a few buckets of water and sand. Always light the crackers from a safe distance to avoid unfortunate possibilities of your clothes catching fire. It is best to wear cotton clothes while firing the crackers as synthetic/silk clothes easily catch fire. Also, dispose off the burnt crackers safely.
•Air Pollution: Crackers and fireworks usually result in air pollution. The smoke generated can lead to breathing problems, eye problems and other health issue too. It is best to avoid burning crackers or moving around such smoky areas if you have any breathing issues. Also, consider wearing a mask while moving through such smoky areas.
•Diwali Sweets and Food: Here are few Diwali tips you must remember:
a)Avoid overeating as it may lead to indigestion or other stomach discomfort. Besides that, also avoid eating oily or junk food to avoid future complications.
b)The best idea is to eat small meals in a shorter time-gap to go well throughout the day.
Let’s celebrate a happy and healthy & pollution free Diwali with these tips to celebrate healthy safe Diwali 2024.
