Monsoons bring us the much needed break from the unbearable summer heat. But with it come the muddy puddles, potholes, traffic jams. In the middle of getting soaked in the rain and the long waits in traffic, are those yummy pakodas, samosas, and anything fried. That’s a recipe there to fall sick. To avoid getting sick, and missing out on the beauty of monsoons, we recommend stocking up on some immunity boosters.
Ginger
It is not just a great digestive but has some great antibacterial and antiviral properties. It maintains blood circulation, prevents formation of excess mucus, prevents nausea, loosen mucus from lungs and overall improves the immunity of our bodies. It would be ideal to add it in small amounts to all your recipes, including tea.
Green Tea
Drinking anything hot on a cold rainy day is soothing, so why not choose green tea over your doodh-wali chai or coffee. Green tea is full of antioxidants, loaded with minerals and nutrients and drinking it will not only keep you hydrated, but lead to improved digestion and good skin.
Vegetable Soup
Soups are the easiest way to consume all colors of the rainbow. You can add as many vegetables of your choice that will only do good by restoring your health, reduce inflammation, and be a natural source of collagen. After a long wet day one of the easiest things to cook.
Lychees
The monsoon fruit that contains both fiber and vitamins that pump your immunity, and give you that sugar high without hurting you. It is easy to access, eat fuss-free anywhere, and tastes heavenly.
Aloe Vera
The plant that was under-rated in the last century but has found a following in this one is a great one to maintain your health during monsoons. It contains magnesium, sodium, calcium, amino acids and vitamins. Added bonus of consuming it, great hair and healthy skin. Some even claim it is a cure for constipation and acidity.
If not all five, some or even one from the above list should keep the doctor away from you this rainy season. Stay safe and healthy!
So, this rainy season, order fresh and delightful veg food from Home’s Kitchen that’s not only tasty but also keeps you healthy.
