A Healthy You
Prevention is better than cure
Rainy season is fun for some and messy for others. Hot tea and fried snacks; muddy shoes, dripping clothes and water puddles give pleasure to some or can be irritants for many people. High humidity levels reduce the capability of the body to digest and could lead to an upset stomach. Some tips to keep your gut healthy this rainy season.
Don'ts
Do not eat heavy foods no matter how irresistible they are. The humid weather tends to cause the digestion process to slow down, which can cause problems like acidity and indigestion.
-
You may love golgappas, but the water used can be a host to bacteria that can cause severe stomach infection.
-
Avoid too many dairy products like milk as they take time to digest.
-
Fresh juices are great as long as they are made at home, especially during monsoon.
-
While all vegetables are healthy, one should avoid buying leafy greens. The grime and dampness present in them can make them high susceptible to germs.
