5 Ways To Stay Healthy in School During The Haze Season

In Malaysia, we have either the dry or wet season. Sometimes during the dry season, we have the most annoying occurrence -the haze. The smell of that annoying, dry, thick smoke is just plain horrible. It is very important to stay healthy in school when there is haze. You don't want to be inhaling dangerous chemicals (excessively) into your system that will leads you to being sick, especially the fact that the exam season in coming so soon!

1. Park at the basement

Why? it's because the basement parking is so much closer to classes compared to the free parking. But, you got to pay your RM3. Just remember, health first!

2. Wear Your Face Mask

You get get a free face mask from the Health Services Centre at Block C Level 1. Remember, every time you need to go outdoors, just wear these babies. I know for most people, it may look very ugly. After all, you need to wear them because it's all for your health. 

3. Stay Hydrated With H2O

Plain water guys- not any sweetened carbonated drinks. Water is important to flush all toxins from your body. Just look out for water vending machines on campus near the library. When you're on the go, just pop in RM1 and instantly you will receive a bottle of water. Remember, you need 8 glasses of water a day.

4. Stop Smoking!

The haze is already killing us. There are still many smokers that like to continue smoking in public areas and this only contributes to more smoke to the environment that leads to so many dangerous effects to the human body. Please, all of you smokers just lay off the cigarettes during the haze season. 

5. Stop Drinking Coffee.........for a little while

We all love coffee do we? But, did you know that caffeine is recognised as having a diuretic action, and consumers are often advised to avoid beverages containing these compounds in situations where fluid loss will occur. So, it is advised to drink more plain water instead and ditch your favourite green tea Frappuccino.
