No doubt that early morning view from the window full of greenery and wetness refreshes your mind and soul, but you need to be careful about the infections and diseases monsoon brings - mostly due to unhygienic food and water. Dos: Properly wash fruits and vegetables Eat barley, brown rice and oats Add garlic to soups, stir-fries and curries Avoid milk, have curd Drink more water (preferably warm water) Drink green tea once a day to keep your immune system strong Use anti-bacterial soap and face wash Use talcum powder to keep skin dry Don'ts: No oily food, street food or spicy food No watermelons or muskmelons Not too much of mangoes Intake of dairy products should…...
