Monsoon diet mistakes: The rain showers, cold air coming from the window and a cup of hot tea in the hand and crispy pakoras together, this view is something that is liked by every heart. As if the rainy season becomes a festival of tea-pakoras. But have you ever thought that the ‘bitter truth’ of your health may also be hidden behind this taste filled bliss? In the rain, the more the taste of this fried combination gives the taste as it can harm the body from inside. Let us know why more consumption of tea and pakodas in the monsoon can be heavy on your health.

Impact on digestive system

Our digestive power becomes weak during monsoon. Deep fry items like pakoras are heavy and it becomes difficult to digest them. This can cause problems like acidity, gas, stomach pain and indigestion.

Dehydration and acidity

The caffeine present in tea can reduce the amount of water in the body, causing dehydration. Also, drinking on an empty stomach or frequent tea can increase acidity, which even more troublesome during the rainy season.

Repeated fry in oil

In the house, pakoras are often fried several times in the same oil, which increases trans fats in it. These trans fats increase the risk of heart diseases by increasing cholesterol levels in the body.

Danger of infection

Due to moisture during the rainy season, bacteria and fungus grow quickly. Eating pakoras fried in the roadside or open is at risk of food poisoning, diarrhea and other infections.

Weight gain and lethargy

Pakoras rich in oil and carbohydrates accumulate fat in the body, which increases weight and the body feels dull. Additional sugar in tea also contributes to weight gain.

What to drink instead of tea?

Choose herbal or green tea option instead of tea

Take air fry or grilled snacks instead of deep fry

Eat healthy snacks like seasonal fruits, roasted gram or moong dal
