TIP, CILEGON – Head of Citangkil Community Health Center, Dr. Isnayati, an appeal to the public to be more aware of the effects of weather changes that are currently affecting the Cilegon area.
According to him, climate change can reduce the resistance of the body which is at risk of causing various diseases.
“Symptoms of illness that often occur as a result of weather changes include coughs, colds, fevers and other health problems. “A reduction in body resistance makes the immune system unable to fight disease attacks,” said Dr. Isnayati, Wednesday, November 20 2024
To avoid this, dr. Isnayati reminded the public to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
“Eat a balanced nutritious diet, exercise regularly, drink plenty of water, and maintain personal hygiene. “In addition, use a mask if you have a cough or cold to avoid spreading the infection, and take complementary vitamins if needed,” he advised.
As a precautionary measure, the Citangkil Community Health Center has prepared several programs to educate the public, including through health education podcasts. In addition, people are advised to go to the health center immediately if they feel sick in order to receive appropriate medical treatment.
“We continue to promote health so that people understand better how important it is to maintain health, especially in the midst of bad weather like it is now,” said Dr. Isnayati.
It is hoped that this application will encourage the people of Cilegon City to take care of their health, so that the risk of diseases due to climate change can be reduced.

On health. We emphasize the importance of preventative measures and encourage the community to engage in healthy practices that can help mitigate the risks associated with climate change.
Interviewer: Good day to both of you. We are here to discuss the impact of climate change on our health and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle during these changing weather conditions. Dr. Isnayati, as head of the Health Center, please share with us your experience in dealing with the increase in health problems related to weather changes in Cilegon City.
Dr. Isnayati: Thank you for having me here. Well, as per our observations, the increase in temperature and precipitation has certainly led to an increase in health issues in the region. We commonly see a surge in respiratory illnesses, such as coughs, colds, and flu-like symptoms, which can be attributed to reduced immunity levels due to the changes in weather.
Interviewer: That’s concerning. Can you elaborate on how climate change affects our body’s resistance and why it makes us more susceptible to diseases?
Guest 1: Sure! Climate change affects our environment in various ways, including the spread of germs and allergens. Warmer temperatures lead to the growth of harmful bacteria and viruses, while changes in air quality can worsen existing health conditions or trigger new ones. Additionally, extreme weather events like storms and floods can cause stress and anxiety, which also impact our immune system.
Interviewer: That’s an interesting point. What specific measures or actions can individuals take to maintain their health during such times?
Dr. Isnayati: We recommend following basic health tips such as eating a balanced diet, regular exercise, staying hydrated, and practicing good hygiene habits like washing hands frequently. It’s also essential to stay informed about the weather forecast and take precautions accordingly. Using a mask if you have a cough or cold can help prevent the spread of infection, and taking vitamins may also support your immune system.
Interviewer: That’s helpful advice for everyone. Moving on, what kind of programs or initiatives has the Citangkil Community Health Center implemented to educate the public on these matters?
