Boosting immunity during the monsoon season is crucial to stay healthy and prevent illnesses. Here are seven Ayurvedic tips to boost your immunity in the monsoon:
Drink warm or room temperature water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated.
Opt for warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest. Avoid raw foods as they can dampen digestion and weaken the immune system.
Add immune-boosting herbs and spices into your diet. Sip on ginger tea, tulsi tea, or warm water with spices.
Include a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables in your diet to provide essential nutrients and antioxidants.
Choose light, easily digestible foods that don't burden the digestive system. Avoid heavy, oily, and fried foods.
Use herbs like ashwagandha, guduchi, and amala, which are commonly used to enhance immune function.
Avoid cold or chilled foods and drinks. Cold foods and drinks can weaken digestion and lower immunity.
