Rainy days don't just come with breezy air and gloomy weather; they also call for numerous health issues
Here are 5 foods to avoid during the monsoon to reduce the risk of viral fever and infections:
Leafy Greens: While healthy otherwise, spinach, lettuce, and cabbage can carry bacteria and parasites due to stagnant water and damp storage. Opt for cooked versions if needed
Street Food & Chaats: Pani puri, bhel puri, and other roadside snacks can be exposed to contaminated water and unhygienic conditions, increasing infection risks
Seafood: Avoid fish and prawns during the rains as water contamination is high. The risk of food poisoning and stomach infections goes up
Cut Fruits Sold Outside: Pre-cut fruits attract flies and are prone to bacterial exposure. Always eat freshly cut fruits prepared at home
Fried & Oily Foods: These are harder to digest in humid weather and can weaken immunity, making you more prone to viral fever and cold
