Street Food
Chaat and juices look tempting, but contaminated water can easily cause severe stomach infections.
Leafy Greens
Spinach and cabbage harbour dirt, dampness, and insects during rains. It is best to avoid them now!
Seafood
Monsoon is the breeding season for fish. Water contamination also makes eating seafood highly risky right now.
Pre-Cut Fruits
Fruits left exposed attract flies and harmful bacteria. Always eat freshly peeled and cut fruits!
Fried Food
Pakoras are a rainy-day favourite, but excess oil slows digestion, causing bloating and acidity.
Unpasteurized Dairy
Raw milk and heavy dairy can be very hard to digest and may carry bacteria in the damp heat
Carbonated Drinks
Fizzy beverages reduce minerals in your body and can weaken your digestive system during monsoons.
Don't Let Monsoon Bills Bite
Even with a good diet, monsoon bugs strike. Protect your savings from medical bills with health insurance.
