Though the first showers of the monsoon bring relief from the scorching summer heat, however, they also bring some health issues like food poisoning, dysentery and cholera among others.
Here's a guide to what you should be eating in this season to stay healthy
-Drink warm beverages during the monsoons. Add ginger or mint powder to your tea or milk.
-Avoid eating street or junk food during the rains. Very few people have the immunity to handle bacterial overload at such places.
-Avoid eating oily or fried foods as they tend to cause acidity. Opt for tandoori or grilled options.
-Avoid eating foods with too much spice as this promotes bloating and water retention. Go for foods that have medium salt in them.
-Use plenty of garlic, ginger, pepper, turmeric, asafoetida, jeera and coriander while cooking as this enhances digestive power and improves immunity.
-Eat foods that are dry in nature. Makka, chana, besan and jow (oats) are very good for your health.
-Reduce the consumption of meat and fish and include more of vegetables, fruits and cereals in your diet.
-Honey is an excellent tonic that helps keep the intestines sterile. It also assists in digestion.
-Eat bitter vegetables like neem, methi, haldi and karela to prevent infection.
-Consume lots of vitamin C and citrus fruits to boost your immunity. Make sure that you are eating at home mostly during this time. Avoid eating out during the rains.
