Stay Healthy During Eid Homecoming

Sahabat Hermina, it doesn't feel like soon that Muslims will celebrate Eid al-Fitr or known as Lebaran. The moment of Eid is certainly synonymous with friendship and forgiveness, especially for Indonesian people who usually go home for Eid. Homecoming is a tradition of returning to their hometowns for those who are overseas. This Eid homecoming phenomenon is usually intended only during the Eid momentum. However, it should be noted that forcing yourself to go home when your health condition is not good can disrupt your trip. Come on, Friends of Hermina, before this bad possibility occurs, it's best to prepare yourself to welcome homecoming for Eid in a healthy manner and be happy to meet family and relatives in your hometown. Some tips that can be done by Friends of Hermina include:

• Maintaining Physical Condition

Usually, people go home for Eid when the month of Ramadan is still in progress.

Maintaining physical condition is the top priority in preparing for Lebaran homecoming. Give time to the body to rest enough. Adequate rest is useful for detoxifying toxins so that the body is maintained healthy. In addition, make sure to always eat food with balanced and nutritious nutrition, take vitamins or supplements and do light exercise regularly. If on the way you feel tired, take a break. It is recommended to rest for 15 minutes after driving a car for four hours and a motorcycle after driving for two hours. Don't force yourself to drive when you're sleepy.

• Paying Attention to Fluid Intake

Adequate fluid needs are important so that the body avoids dehydration. By paying attention to fluid intake, the body can prevent toxins from entering. In addition, because the body will be exposed to more pollution during homecoming trips, it is best if Hermina Friends still meet their fluid needs by drinking more water and consuming fruits with high water content. Drink enough mineral water, namely 2 liters or 8 glasses per day to help the body meet its fluid needs.

• Stock up on Emergency Medication and Supplies

When going home, the chances of health problems are high due to changes in environmental temperature and reduced rest time. Bringing emergency medicines is one of the important equipment to bring when going home. Make sure you bring emergency medicines such as motion sickness medicine, cold medicine, headache medicine, cold medicine, anti-allergy, diarrhea medicine and first aid kits during the trip. In addition, you can also bring supplements and other special medicines if you have certain diseases. Apart from that, supplies (food and drinks) are another thing that needs attention. Make sure you bring supplies with balanced nutrition (especially those containing carbohydrates, protein, vitamin C, and zinc) and milk to keep your body fit during the trip.

• Doctor Consultation Before Making Homecoming

Consulting a doctor regarding special preparations before going on a long trip can make Hermina Friends aware of any diseases that will arise. For example, by checking blood pressure and blood sugar. That way, Friends of Hermina can find out what preparations need to be made.

So, don't forget to always maintain your health. What's more, at the moment of Eid celebrations like today. Don't forget to be careful when you go home for Eid, Sahabat Hermina. Stay healthy.
