THE ABC TO MAKE YOUR MONSOON BETTER

Monsoons in modern ages are being received with a lot of mix feelings. While there are people supercharged and happy about the arrival of the season, you often will stumble on someone saying, “I don’t like monsoons, at all. This is the season that makes me sick in the gut!” Well, guys, you have our attention.

As per our Functional Nutrition Expert, Manjari Chandra during this season, the microbial growth in foods multiplies and the hot and humid weather makes it a perfect breading spot for the bacteria. If you are sensitive to monsoons or the recent weather changes, you might want to look at the things you can do differently this season.

1. ADOPT FOR DIY

Convenience is what we are choosing over “What is right” for us. If ever, you have ordered cut-fruits from a grocery app, bought tetra pack juice thinking it to be “100% Real” or maybe just carried some cut-fruits in your lunch bag and had it in the evening thinking it to be healthy, then we suggest you make some changes in your pattern to stay healthy. What you should do?

* Carry your fruits whole because cut-fruits increase the exposure to oxidation which can result into nutrients loss. Preferably, one should bite on whole fruits enhancing the jaw muscles and giving you the perfect jawline.

* If you wish to have a juice, make it yourself or at least make sure you are not being fed the processed juices anywhere.

2. BOOST IMMUNITY WITH FOOD

You will find people around you who are under some kind of physical transformation and others suffering from recurring illness who depends on food supplements to meet their daily nutrition. If you think you were born with low immunity, and monsoons or any weather change makes it worse, our nutrition experts with subtle changes in your food intake can help you boost your immunity. What you should include?

* Indian Spices starting from nutmeg, star anise, cinnamon, pepper to as basic as turmeric and fenugreek, found in every Indian Kitchen.

* Celery consists a higher portion of electrolytes and fiber further making your gut healthier.

* Hot Brews like Herbal Tea, Green tea and many are famous for their antioxidant-rich properties.

* Soups are the great source to load on vitamins and minerals and let’s be honest, with perfect recipes they do lift up your mood.

3. CHECK YOUR WATER INTAKE

Puddles and rainwater accumulation if not checked, makes breeding ground for germs leading to water borne diseases like Typhoid, Diarrhea, and Malaria. With the rise in pollution, an increase in humidity, geographical conditions and 21 types of water conditions across India, we wonder how a single solution or technology can solve it all. What you should do?

* Drinking boiled water or RO water alone is not enough.

* You can try infusing your water with natural herbs like mint, basil, citrus fruits like sweet lemon, lemon, cucumber and so on.

* Store water in a brass container or copper container. Avoid plastic, as none of the plastic within our reach is of food grade quality and drastic change in temperature can make your drinking water lethal.

* Maintain a high level of personal hygiene.

So, these 3 easy steps can make your monsoon easy and friendly. In case, these don’t work for you or you want to know more about “how foods that can heal”, then feel free to drop a message to us and our team will get in touch with you shortly.
