The rainy season brings cool breezes and fresh air, but it can also lead to health problems. This is because the damp weather allows germs to grow more easily. To stay healthy during the rainy season, be careful about what you eat and drink.
In this blog, we will explore what foods to avoid this season for optimum wellness.
Below are list of foods to avoid in order to maintain good health and prevent foodborne illnesses:
- Avoid Street Food
Raint can wash dirt and germs onto street food. This can make you sick. It’s best to eat food cooked at home where you can be sure it’s clean.
- Raw and Unwashed Vegetables
Leafy greens like spinach and lettuce can trap germs during the monsoon. Wash them thoroughly in clean water before eating. You can also cook them lightly to be extra safe.
- Be Careful with Seafood
Seafood can spoil quickly in hot, humid weather. This can cause food poisoning. If you do eat seafood, make sure it’s fresh and cooked properly.
- Avoid Leftovers Foods
Be cautious with leftovers during the rainy season. Moisture and warmth create an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. It’s better to consume freshly cooked food and avoid consuming leftovers that have been stored for too long or any other food that appears stale,moldy, or has an off odor.
- Skip Cold and Spicy Foods
Cold drinks and spicy foods can be hard on your stomach during the monsoon. Opt for warm drinks like ginger tea and soups, and choose milder foods to keep your digestion happy.
