There are a number of foods you should avoid consuming during the rainy season. This is due to the fact that they can make you sick. Various foods are associated with diseases like flu, influenza and even coughing.
As a parent, you also need to avoid giving your children some foods since they may cause various illness.
Here are some of the foods you should avoid during this rainy season.
1. Fruit juice from roadside sellers
Buying fruit juice from a road seller during the rainy season can pose certain risks to your health. For instance, the water used to dilute the juices is likely to get contaminated if not properly stored. Also, if the fruits are not stored well, they are likely to attract flies or mosquitos which can spread bacteria and germs.
2. Carbonated drinks
Why do you want to drink a cold soda when it's cold and raining? Such drinks lower enzyme activity because they reduce minerals in the body, and this can cause your digestive system to be weak. Opt for tea or hot soup.
3. Fried foods
During the rainy season, our digestion system tends to be slow. Consuming fried foods can worsen things. You might end up having a stomach upset and bloating.
4. Dairy products
Ensure to check these products before consuming them because they perish at a faster rate and lose their nutritional value when the weather is humid.
