5 foods to avoid in monsoon for your health’s sake

 

1. Leafy vegetables

The temperature and humidity of the monsoon season are conducive to bacterial and fungal growth, especially on green leafy vegetables. This can lead to stomach infections. Spinach, fenugreek leaves, cabbage, cauliflower, etc are not vegetables that you should eat during the monsoon. Instead, go for pungent vegetables like bitter gourd, ghiya, tori, and tinda.

2. Seafood

You must avoid seafoods like fish and prawns during the monsoon. Wonder why? Well, there are two main reasons. First, the presence of pathogens and bacteria in the water during the rainy season may infect the fish, and thereby the person consuming it. Secondly, this breeding season causes several changes to occur in seafood which can cause harm.

3. Spicy and fried foods

While it is perfectly fine to indulge in fried foods like kachoris, pakoras, and samosas once in a while, you should take care of the portion you eat because excess consumption can upset your stomach in several ways, causing indigestion, diarrhea, and other issues. So, restrict yourself from excessive eating those fried foods.

4. Fizzy drinks

Humidity and sweating tend to dehydrate you. So drink plenty of water to stay hydrated but avoid fizzy drinks because they can weaken your digestive system and can reduce the minerals in your body. You can also have hydrating drinks like nimbu pani and jaljeera.

5. Mushroom

Mushrooms grow in damp soil and can have bacterial growth which increases the risk of infection once consumed, especially during the monsoon season. So it is better to say no to mushrooms in the monsoon!

The key habits of healthy eaters

 The key habits of healthy eaters Making healthy changes doesn't require you to completely overhaul your diet. Start at your own pace by practicing these key healthy-eating habits. Eat breakfast Research indicates that eating breakfast every day helps with weight loss and weight maintenance by reducing hunger later in the day. When you break the overnight fast with a healthy breakfast, it's easier to resist unhealthy choices during the day. Include at least two food groups — such as whole grains, lean protein, dairy, or fruits and vegetables — at breakfast to put you on track for a day of healthy eating. Drink water Water is a crucial nutrient that often gets overlooked. Sixty percent of your body weight is made up of water, and every system in your body requires it to function properly. Fluid needs depend on several factors: your health, your environment, how active you are, and if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men need about 13 ...
