Monsoon Foods You Must Eat To Prevent Infections During Monsoon

Monsoon is that time of the year when you can’t have enough hot cups of ginger tea with crunchy pakoras and bhajiyaas and crave for all types of spicy and unhealthy food. Eating too much of high-calorie stuff can lead to acidity, bloating, and other digestive issues apart from the unwelcome weight gain that could hamper your weight loss journey. But it is always possible to replace them with healthy alternatives that can work on boosting your immunity and preventing you from infections. So instead of having your regular tea with sugar in excess, you can try replacing it with lemongrass tea. Chips and other fried stuff can be replaced by a bowl of popcorn.

Popcorn

When I say popcorn, it is not the yellow American corn I am talking about. Choose local white corn, and popped in white butter with some black salt. Popcorn is a whole grain, hence it reduces the risk of lifestyle diseases such as heart attack, diabetes, and blood pressure. It is also rich in phenolic acids, a type of antioxidant.

Jamun

Ayurveda strongly recommends Jamun for treating various conditions related to heart, arthritis, asthma, stomach pain, bowel spasm, flatulence, and dysentery. The diuretic effects of Jamun flushes toxins out of the kidneys, while the high fiber content aids in digestion.
