Everyone experiences that the monsoon season is fresh and cool but it also brings a lot of challenges for health, high humidity, contaminated water and the risk of bacterial infections also increases, especially when we consume wrong food because during the rainy season we like to eat all kinds of things out of which some are not right for health and to be consumed in this season, so in this article we will discuss 6 such foods which should be avoided in the rainy season so that you do not fall sick and remain fit.
Avoid these six food in rainy season (monsoon healthy dishes)
Leafy vegetables (especially raw)
Now in the rainy season all plants grow fast and are also very green, like spinach, fenugreek, lettuce etc. Vegetables are definitely healthy but in the rainy season a lot of bacteria and fungus grow on them which are enough to impact your health, if you do not wash and cook them properly then the risk of food poisoning increases.
Better option: If possible, eat lightly steamed and sautéed vegetables.
Street food (especially chaat, pakoras & pani puri)
You must know that during the rainy season, spicy and fried food from outside is tempting but if you do not ignore it, then it can become the biggest trap for health because street food is very oily and it is mostly made in the open in the shops and that too using polluted water, hence this infection can spread easily. At most, eat fast food 1-2 times in a week.
Better option: Homemade roasted snacks which can give the best and amazing taste or air fried options.
Fried and oily food
Now since digestion slows down during the rainy season, deep fried food like samosa, bhajiya or fries slows down the digestion further, due to which it is common to have problems like stomach pain and constipation, so avoid oily food as much as possible.
Best option: Steam, grilled or baked snacks.
Seafood and non-veg (especially fish)
Let me tell you that during the monsoon season, fish breeding season occurs and during this time the issue of contamination and freshness increases a lot, improperly stored seafood can cause stomach infection, so it is better to avoid it as much as possible.
Best option: If you want to eat non-veg then try to eat fresh chicken or eggs and that too in limited quantity.
Cut fruits from outside
Buying cut fruits from the market or tasting roadside fruits is a health hazard. Now everyone knows that flies mostly sit inside, but how does it harm them? No, it causes serious diseases like typhoid or other stomach infections and most of the people fall prey to it just because of the dirt, so do not eat cut fruits.
Carbonated drinks & cold beverages
Now, since monsoon already has a lot of viruses and bacteria, soft drinks or icy beverages temporarily weaken the immunity and if you drink cold drinks, then it is obvious that you can be at the risk of throat infection, hence it is not at all right to drink cold drinks during the monsoon.
Best option: Herbal teas, warm lemon water, homemade detox drinks etc.
So if you also want to keep your immunity strong in the rainy season and want to avoid different infections, then avoid the above mentioned foods as much as possible, for this you only need to keep your diet in mind, this will make you always feel healthy, active and energetic.
