The change from an extremely hot season to a pleasant and cooler rainy season is definitely relaxing. However, if not addressed on time, the monsoon brings its own set of health problems. So let’s take a look at some best foods you must eat to stay healthy in the monsoon season.
Fruits
Fruits in season such as peaches, plums, cherries, jamun and pomegranate are high in vitamins A and C, fibre and antioxidants. Stick to high-quality fresh-cut fruits and juices made at home instead of pre-cut fruits and juices from roadside sellers.
Fluids
Include lots of warm fluids, such as soup, masala chai, green tea, broth, dal and etc, since they are helpful for rehydration and the immune system.
Vegetables
Add gourd vegetables to a variety of dishes such as veggies, paratha, soup, raita, and so on. Steamed salads should be consumed instead of raw vegetables since they contain active bacteria and viruses that can cause viral infections.
Proteins
Adding healthy proteins to your meals boosts immunity and aids in recovery from illness. Milk and milk products, as well as pulses such as moong dal, lentils, chole, rajma, soya, egg and chicken, are high in protein.
Fenugreek seeds/methi
Fenugreek is an energy booster that includes all of the nutrients our bodies require, even during fever and digestive disorders.
