After a major harmattan hit especially in the West of Nigeria on boxing day, the fierceness of the harmattan seemed to be dousing. But again this weekend, harmattan has shown up stronger and the cold is just “too much”. It’s the kind of cold that can make up stay in bed till 10am whether PHCN shows up or not and it’s also the kind that can cause to fall sick and have running nose.
I’d share with you some health tips to ensure you survive this harmattan period without any of those ailments. I hope you find them useful.
- Wear thick enough clothing. Ensure you are well covered especially your chest region to avoid catching a cold.
- Protect your skin! It’s during this season you see a lot of people go about with faces so white and cracked lips. Get a skin-friendly Vaseline or body lotion with enough oil content to keep your skin moisturised all day long. Also, get lip balm or gloss to protect your lips from excessive dryness and cracks.
- Shut your window more. Harmattan is characterised with haze and plenty of dust. Avoid leaving your windows and doors open for too long. Also clean the house regularly…. To get rid of dust particles that may have settled on the surfaces.
- Take enough vitamins. Even without harmattan season, vitamins help boost our immune system. So whether in tablets, fruits or veggies, ensure your vitamin game is strong this season…
- Go slow with the cold drinks, especially early in the morning. The reason is quite obvious; the whether is mostly cold, consuming too much of cold drinks can trigger a flu. So if you are like me who isn’t a fan of hot drinks like tea – you might have to break the norm and take more warm drinks especially in the mornings.
- Consume more water: Harmattan is cold but also can be very dry. This goes ahead to mean that your body would consume more water and you’d get dehydrated more quickly…. So you’d do your body a lot of good by taking lots of water this season…
Enjoy! I wish you an ailment-free harmattan!

Link exchange is nothing else except it is just placing the other person’s
blog link on your page at suitable place and other person will also do same in support of you.
Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic however
, I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
My site discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could
greatly benefit from each other. If you might be
interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward
to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!
Howdy, I do believe your site could possibly be having
web browser compatibility issues. When I take a look at your website
in Safari, it looks fine however when opening in Internet Explorer, it has
some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other than that, fantastic site!
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance.
I must say you have done a very good job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Opera.
Excellent Blog!
Its not my first time to go to see this site,
i am browsing this site dailly and take good facts from here every day.
First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a
quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting
my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any ideas or tips? Cheers!
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just
your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.
However think about if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could definitely be one of the very best
in its field. Wonderful blog!
Very good blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or
go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
Any tips? Thanks a lot!

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a
difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs
and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Greetings! Very useful advice in this particular article!
It’s the little changes that make the largest changes.
