Paddy Farmers Health Tips: It can be dangerous for farmers to work in water for hours continuously for hours. Eminent Earth Surgeon of Jaunpur, Dr. Uttam Singh has given some useful suggestions to farmers about this.
Jaunpur Paddy transplanting season has started. Farmers in the fields are working in water filled fields throughout the day. While this hard work ensures the food security of the country on the one hand, on the other hand it also becomes a serious challenge for the health of farmers. Working in water for hours continuously can prove to be dangerous for farmers’ waist, knees and spinal cord. For such farmers, Dr. Uttam Singh, a well -known meaning of Jaunpur, has given some useful suggestions, which farmers can avoid such problems by following the paddy.
Dr. Uttam Singh says that farmers are constantly bent while planting paddy, which puts excessive pressure on their spine. This can cause problems like back pain and slip disc. Similarly, there is a prone to swelling, skin infection and swelling in the nerves due to prolonged stay in water. Dr. Singh says that such farmers must rest for at least 10-15 minutes after every two hours of work. During this time, they stand straight and do light stretching of waist, back and legs. This will give relief to the muscles and blood circulation will be better. In addition, farmers should adopt a sitting posture with a slight bend, instead of bending at the time of transplanting, so that there is less pressure on the spine.
Dr. Uttam Singh says that farmers should use gum boots or waterproof plastic slippers while planting paddy, so that they can avoid skin diseases caused by standing in water. After coming back from the fields, do not forget to wash the feet thoroughly with soap and hot water. If possible, also use antiseptic. Dr. Singh also asked the farmers to pay special attention to food. They say that during heavy physical exertion, the body needs enough energy and nutrition, so eat protein and vitamins and do not let the body lack water. According to Dr. Uttam Singh, if a farmer feels constant pain in the waist, tingling or swelling in the feet, then do not ignore it and contact the doctor immediately. Many complications can be avoided by timely treatment.
