The monsoon diet
Kids and monsoon
Undeniably, kids are always the first to fall prey to the changing season. While your little ones would be persistent to go out and play in the rain, don't spoil the fun for them by stopping them. Practice some basic hygiene habits and include some immunity boosting, nourishing foods in your kids' diet and let them have the most of the rains. Fermented foods, fresh poultry and vitamin c rich foods should be a must in your child's diet.
Items like amla, bitter gourd (karela), ridge gourd (lauki) and giloy are excellent for fortifying immunity and fighting infections. The simplest way to add these to your daily diet would be in the form of juice that can be consumed right in the morning. According to Ayurveda expert Dr. Ashutosh Gautam of Baidyanath, something as simple as your drinking water can help you arm against monsoon woes. "Simply add few neem leaves or tulsi to your drinking water and sip on it throughout the day. It is better to ditch cold water and switch to lukewarm water during this time of the year. Turmeric is excellent, haldi doodh can easily be a regular part of your monsoon diet; just add a sprinkling of pepper to it," noted Dr. Gautam.
Make sure that you and your kids wash hands regularly and thoroughly. Keep a hand sanitizer handy and use whenever, wherever possible. Ditch roadside food items and excessive oily or fried foods. Keep your nails trimmed and dry your hands properly. Carry paper soap wherever possible else use automatic soap dispensers. Use bottled mineral water when outdoors. Avoid sneezing or coughing into your hands, always keep a handkerchief handy. Stay safe, stay protected, keep healthy and enjoy the rainy season to the fullest.
