Why can you become a tea-pose for health for your ‘favorite’ things in the rain

News India Live, Digital Desk: Gut Microbiome: As soon as the rainy season starts, everyone wants to eat hot tea and pakoras. This is a combination that is a classic treatment for Indians. But health experts warns that consuming such fried dish and heavy breakfast in the rainy season can prove to be ‘dangerous’ for your health! This can make you a victim ranging from many stomach problems to weak immunity.

Why avoid pakoras and more tea in monsoon?

1. Weak digestion:
   Our digestive system naturally slows down during the monsoon. At this time, moisture and humidity are high, due to which our body works hard to digest food. In such a situation, eating pakoras like oily, heavy and fried foods puts even more pressure on digestion. This can cause problems like heaviness, indigestion, gas, acidity and constipation in the stomach.

2. Risk of Bacterial Infection:
   During the rainy season, there is high moisture in the air, which increases the chances of bacteria and fungus growing. Especially, eating things with pakoras or oil-fruits made out of the open is very high in the risk of stomach infection. Using dirty water or infected materials can also cause typhoid, jaundice and food poisoning.

3. Weakened immunity:
   Large food and bad digestives put most of the body’s energy to digest it. In such a situation, your immunity is affected, due to which you become more sensitive to cold, cough, fever and seasonal infection. There is more need for strong immunity during the rainy season, not to weaken it.

4. Stress on Liver:
   The fried food contains too much oil and spices, which have to work hard to process the liver. Consuming such food continuously provides unnecessary pressure on the liver, which can affect its functionality.

5. Blood pressure fluctuations:
   Many times pakoras contain more salt and spices, which can affect blood pressure. More oil is also not good for heart health.

Then what should we do? What are healthy options?

It is difficult to control the mind of eating in the monsoon, but you can choose a healthy option:

• Eat baked or air-fried snacks instead of fried pakoras.

• Take light and digestible food, such as khichdi, porridge or soup.

• Eat seasonal fruits and vegetables.

• Drink plenty of water, lukewarm water will be more beneficial.

• Drink ginger tea, but do not consume caffeine too much.

Be sure to enjoy the taste in the monsoon, but not by applying your health at stake.
