Monsoon Diet Alert: Foods to Avoid for a Healthy Rainy Season

Monsoon and street food might feel like a match made in heaven, but unfortunately, this is one of the riskiest food choices during the rains. Items like golgappa, bhel puri, and samosas are often prepared or served in unhygienic conditions.

The monsoon season brings much-needed relief from the scorching summer, but it also brings along high humidity, waterborne diseases, and weakened digestive systems. While we all crave crispy pakoras and roadside chaat during rainy days, our food choices during this time can significantly impact our health. To enjoy the season without falling sick, it's important to know which foods to avoid during the monsoon.

1. LEAFY VEGETABLES While green leafy vegetables like spinach, cabbage, and lettuce are typically healthy, they are best avoided during monsoon. These vegetables tend to attract dirt, worms, and bacteria due to the increased moisture in the air. The risk of contamination is high even after thorough washing. If you must consume them, make sure to wash with salt water and cook them well.
