Winters are a tempting season that offers a big variety of seasonal food options. But we need to keep a check on what we are eating in order to stay healthy. Here is the list of foods and drinks you must avoid during this season.
Having chilled drinks and cold foods can lower the body's defense system, as the body has to work twice as hard to bring them up to ideal temperature.
Dairy products, especially cold ones, are not considered healthy winter foods as they can make you more prone to catching a cold.
Coffee, energy drinks and other caffeinated drinks can cause dehydration which increases dryness in the throat, causing congestion and breathing difficulties.
It is always advised to stick to the seasonal veggies during winter but make sure they are cooked properly, as raw vegetables can cause indigestion.
Avoid candies, sweetened beverages and oily food as they can cause inflammation and weaken the immunity of the body.
