MYTH: Going outside with wet hair makes you sick.

Ever heard this before?

The Truth

FALSE!

Colds are caused by viruses (like rhinoviruses),

NOT by cold air or wet hair.

How You Actually Get Sick

You only get sick when you’re exposed to a virus.

Through:

* Airborne droplets (coughing/sneezing)

* Contaminated surfaces

* Touching your face with unwashed hands

What Cold Weather Really Does

Being cold may slightly lower your body’s resistance for a short time…

But without a virus, you won’t catch a cold.

The virus must be present first!

Prevention Tip (CTA Slide)

Real Protection Tip:

Wash your hands frequently.

Avoid touching your face.

Cover coughs and sneezes.

Stay informed. Stay healthy.

Wet hair doesn’t cause colds — viruses do!

Let’s stop spreading myths and start spreading awareness.

Exams test your knowledge — not your worth.

Feeling stressed before exams? You’re not alone, and you can manage it with the right mindset and habits.

Exam time can feel overwhelming.

A NCERT survey shows nearly 80% of students feel stressed before exams.

UNICEF India reports academic pressure as a major cause of adolescent stress.

You’re not alone.

What Is Exam Anxiety?

Exam anxiety is performance-related anxiety.

It may come from:

* Fear of failure

* High expectations

* Past exam experiences

How It Can Affect You?

Exam anxiety can affect mind and body.

You may notice:

* Constant worry

* Trouble concentrating

* Physical symptoms (headache, stomach upset)

* Feeling blank during exams

Care for Your Body & Mind

Sleep and nutrition support learning.

Try to:

* Avoid all-night studying

* Get 8–9 hours of sleep

* Eat regular meals

* Take short breaks

A rested brain works better.

On Exam Day

If anxiety shows up:

* Pause and breathe slowly

* Start with familiar questions

* Tell yourself: “I am prepared.”

Small steps help calm the mind.

Avoid Comparisons

Comparing yourself increases stress.

Remember:

* Everyone learns differently

* Progress looks different for everyone

* Your effort matters most

Focus on your journey.

A Gentle Reminder

One exam does not define your future.

If anxiety affects sleep, mood, or daily life, support from a mental health professional can help.

Did you know your brain doesn’t “switch off” at night?

1. While you’re asleep, your brain is strengthening memories, repairing cells, and clearing out harmful toxins.
2. Quality sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s essential for mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall health.

Make sleep a priority tonight.

1. Aim for 7–9 hours, avoid screens before bed, and create a calm sleep routine.
2. Your brain works hard for you — give it the rest it deserves.

What Your Fever Really Means

• • It’s your body’s natural defense mechanism fighting off invaders! A temperature over 100.4°F is a sign your immune system is working hard.

When to Seek Professional Help:
Most fevers can be managed at home with rest and hydration. You should contact a doctor or seek medical help if:

• A fever in a child under 3 months old reaches 100.4°F (38°C) or higher.
• The fever lasts for more than a few days, even with treatment.
• The fever is accompanied by severe symptoms like a stiff neck, confusion, difficulty breathing, or seizures

Slide 3: Don’t ignore a fever that speaks louder.
Monitor your symptoms, take timely care, and consult a doctor when warning signs appear.
Early medical advice can prevent complications.

FALSE. ❌ The sound is just gas bubbles popping in your joint fluid (synovial fluid cavitation).

 A large study of 215 people found similar rates of hand arthritis in both knuckle-crackers and non-crackers.

One doctor even cracked one hand for 50 years and found no arthritis in either hand!

While generally safe, chronic cracking might reduce grip strength. Stick to proven ways to keep joints healthy, like staying active!
