7 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

6. Raw foods - Eating raw foods offers an instant entry to pathogens that will ultimately take a toll on your well-being with bacterial and viral infections, while cooking meals help kill harmful bacteria.

7. Curd - Having curd in the monsoon season could prove to be harmful to the body because of the cool nature of the food. In fact, if you’re already suffering from sinusitis, then strictly stay away from this dairy product.
