Dear readers, Monsoon’s finally knocking on our doors, and while we’re all for dancing in the rain (or at least enjoying a cup of chai by the window like yours truly), let’s not forget that this season also brings along a not-so-fun guest list: allergies, gut troubles, and sneaky infections. We caught up with Dr Sathish C Reddy, Consultant Pulmonologist at CARE Hospitals, Hyderabad, who gave us the lowdown on why your gut is your body’s bouncer this season. “Humidity fosters pathogens, making a strong immune system crucial,” he says. And guess what? That immune system starts right in your gut. But it’s not just about popping a probiotic and calling it a day; humidity and contaminated food can mess with your gut flora. Poor digestion? Check. Increased risk of infections? Double check. So, how do you stay on top of your gut game? Dr Reddy shares his go-to list of 7 monsoon-friendly foods that strengthen your gut and help prevent allergies. 👉 7 foods to prevent monsoon allergies🔗 
But wait, before heading to the veggie market, you must know more! Garima Dev Verman, certified nutritionist with The Healthy Indian Project (THIP), warns that the risk of contaminated veggies is sky-high in this weather. “Elevated humidity and moisture create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and fungi,” she says. So yes, some vegetables are better left off your plate till sunnier days return. Wondering which ones? Here’s your don’t-touch list for the monsoon. 👉 Vegetables you should avoid this monsoon 🔗 Until next time, Rishika Singh DISCLAIMER: The articles in this newletter are based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
