Monsoon Munching!

Dr Priyam Ahuja, Diet and Fitness Expert, Health Nutrified, Mumbai, tells you what to eat and avoid during monsoon.

GO FOR

Antioxidant-rich fruits to boost immunity – apple, pear, pomegranate. Antioxidants fight the free radicals and toxins in our body and keep us fit.

Dry fruits – almonds and walnuts – to take care of protein and healthy fat.

Seasonal fresh vegetables like bitter gourd, bottle gourd, turai, carrots and corn. They are rich in vitamins, mineral, fibre and antioxidants. Choose yellow, green and orange-coloured vegetables.

Well-washed vegetables. Blanch veggies like tomatoes, cauliflower and spinach to disinfect them as they might cause infection.
