As our communities recover from recent floods, your first line of defense is a strong immune system and safe hydration. The risk of water borne illnesses is high right now.
❌ AVOID: Unsealed “Fresh” Juices, Saruvath, or ice from unverified sources. Commercialized street vendors relying on municipal or untreated water supplies pose an elevated risk of contamination (especially with damaged water treatment infrastructure).
✅ NEED: Boiled, Cooled Water or Fresh Thambili (King Coconut Water). King coconut is naturally sealed, sterile, and provides the best source of electrolytes to recover from the heat, exhaustion, and potential dehydration following high salt festive meals.
The Immunity Hack: Add a pinch of Turmeric (Kaha) and Ginger to your Kottamalli tea. It’s a potent, traditional immune booster your body needs right now, not a sugary soda.
