Gorakhpur / Silver Bhatri: As the summer season progresses, carts selling sugarcane juice start appearing in the city. In such a situation, people also drink a lot of sugarcane juice. But, doctors and experts have stated in their opinion that sugarcane juice can also cause infectious diseases for people. Therefore, use things like sugarcane juice and shikanji sold on the roadside as little as possible.
Doctor Rajesh, a physician at Gorakhpur District Hospital, says that sugarcane juice being sold out of season can be harmful for health. It can spoil health instead of improving it. He says that these days sugarcane juice is being sold in abundance on the roadside. One should avoid these things at this time. Sugarcane juice should be consumed only in season. Only then is it beneficial for health.
Sugarcane coming from cold storage is harmful
District hospital physician Dr Rajesh says that sugarcane juice should be used in sugarcane season. Only then it is beneficial. Whenever you consume sugarcane juice, try to keep it plain and do not add anything to it. Doctors say that people are consuming sugarcane juice sold on the roadside. All this sugarcane is old, which they keep soaked in water. This sugarcane brought from cold storage ripens in the sun. It is made moist by adding water. In such a situation, this sugarcane can be harmful for health.
Cleanliness is very important
In the summer season, people use sugarcane juice and many kinds of fruits to avoid the sun. But, in such a situation, they should pay utmost attention to cleanliness. District Hospital CMO Dr. Ashutosh Dubey says that cleanliness should be taken care of before consuming sugarcane juice. If there is no cleanliness, ‘Salmonella Typhi’ bacteria become active. They settle in the stomach. This increases the risk of people getting diarrhea and many kinds of diseases. It also affects people’s liver. Many times they fall prey to serious diseases. Therefore, special attention should be paid to cleanliness before consuming things like fruits and sugarcane juice in this season.
