Monsoon diet: Add these food in your diet regimen

The monsoons have arrived, bringing cool showers and much-needed reprieve from the heat of summer. However, this season also carries with it a slew of health issues. In addition to seasonal colds, flu, and typhoid, mosquito-borne illnesses such as malaria, dengue, and stomach disorders are widespread during the monsoon season. Furthermore, at a time when the COVID-19 Pandemic is already playing havoc on your well being, monsoon-related disorders may be considerably more unpleasant to your general health. As a result, you must make sure that the food you eat hits the proper balance of nutrition and immunity.

The current motto is to strengthen the immune system, which allows the body to develop resistance and battle illnesses.

Fluids 

Staying hydrated is always a good idea no matter what the season is or how much moisture is in the air, so here is another gentle reminder for you all to drink some water.

Fruits

Consuming delectable seasonal fruits is always a good choice because they are readily available, inexpensive, and taste much better than their preserved or frozen counterparts. Seasonal fruits like pomegranate, peaches, cherries, plums, and jamun are rich in antioxidants and filled with the benefits of Vitamin A and C, as well as fibre.

Vegetables

No matter how much we dislike the texture and flavour of various plants such as snake gourd, bottle gourd, Indian squash, and ridge gourd, there is no healthier alternative to these veggies during the rainy season. To destroy all infection-causing active viruses and bacteria, all of these veggies can be steam cooked rather than consumed raw.

Turmeric

The age-old mystical Indian spice has once again shown to be effective, especially during the rainy season. Turmeric can do it all, from fashionable golden milk to cancer prevention.

Proteins

Proteins are widely known for their many health benefits, including improved immunity and the capacity to recover from illness. Protein foods to include in your diet include pulses, poultry, eggs, soya, milk, cottage cheese, and other milk products.

Ginger and Garlic

Nothing beats the pleasure of enjoying a hot cup of ginger tea when sitting near a window during the rainy season. We would really advise you to prepare that cup of ginger tea right now since ginger and garlic are not just substances used to improve the taste, flavour, and perfume of your food products but may also be highly good to your health, especially during this monsoon season.
