Ayurveda Health Tips For Monsoon: The rainy season is pleasant, but it is also very dangerous in terms of diseases. The number of patients suffering from cold, cough and viral fever increases rapidly in the rainy season. From children to the elderly, everyone is falling prey to these diseases. If food is not taken care of during the rainy season, then one can fall prey to serious stomach related diseases. Ayurveda has described a special diet plan for the rainy season. It tells which things should be eaten during the rainy season and which foods should be avoided.
Dr. Piyush Maheshwari, Assistant Professor, Aligarh Ayurvedic Medical College, UP told AnyTV In the rainy season, we should eat things that are light, easily digestible, fresh, hot and increase the digestive fire. This calms the Vata in our body and is beneficial for health. It is beneficial to consume wheat, barley, rice, corn, mustard, rye, cucumber and Khichdi in the rainy season. Eating moong and arhar dal is also beneficial for the body. Milk, ghee, honey and rice can also be consumed in limited quantity.
