JAKARTA - After this Lebaran holiday, there are many things that need to be prepared before returning to work and other activities, especially regarding health. The community is advised not to force routine activities before making sure the body is in good health and fitness.

According to Public Health Practitioner dr. Ngabila Salama, during the Eid holiday, most people carry out activities outside the home and gather with many people.

This can cause health to be out of control properly during holidays and requires adequate rest and examination of body conditions to ensure no infectious disease is exposed.

"Please make sure you are not exposed to infectious diseases that endanger yourself or those around you," Ngabila said via text message in Jakarta, quoted from ANTARA, Monday, APRIL 15.

Ngabila said that after celebrating Eid, people have interacted a lot with others and may forget to adopt a healthy lifestyle. For example, diligently washing hands, maintaining distance or eating foods that are appropriate for a balanced nutritional dose.

When he returned to his routine activities as in the office, he asked the public to ensure that his condition was not exposed to infectious diseases that endanger those around him, for example, coughs and runny noses, Singapore flu,campus, diarrhea, hepatitis or dengue fever.

"Make sure to immediately seek treatment at the nearest doctor or health center for immediate treatment. Even if you come to work in a sick state, please apply a 3M clean lifestyle. Wear a mask, wash your hands and keep your distance so that transmission does not occur," said Ngabila.

Apart from not being exposed to infectious diseases, the public is asked not to do activities if they are experiencing a number of complaints such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting and weakness. According to him, working in these conditions will not make a person more productive.

The Head of the Medical Services Section of the Tamansari Hospital said that compared to working, you can choose to improve the quality of sound sleep which is an important key in maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health.

This is because lack of sleep makes concentration, dementia, loss of motivation, temperament, and sleepiness throughout the day. In the long term, lack of sleep can trigger chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, obesity, depression, and decreased immunity.

Including experiencing stress disorders and bad moods, thus disrupting the interactions that exist with those around you and reducing productivity.

According to Ngabila, by maintaining the health of each individual, not only can each individual work more productively but also optimally to protect family members if someone is sick after going home.

Thus, he asked each party not to ignore any symptoms they felt. Make sure any absence from the activity has been approved by authorities such as doctors and supported by valid evidence.

"In principle, sooner illness or complaints are detected, faster treatment, will recover quickly and not cause death, work productivity will continue to be maintained," said Ngabila.
