What Not To And What To Do For Gastric Problems In Monsoon

It is crucial to exercise extreme caution during the rainy season and prevent gastric difficulties because the monsoon not only causes problems with the skin, eyes, or joints but also with the stomach. As seasonal changes have an adverse effect on one’s gut health, health experts offer some crucial steps one may take to preserve healthy gut health on rainy days.

What not to do and what to do this monsoon

“During the rainy season, a lot of people get digestive issues. Higher humidity levels, tainted water, and food, which weaken the immune system, are the causes of gastrointestinal issues. Bloating, gastric acidity, and indigestion are common during the monsoon because of the humid weather, which also slows down digestion. As a result of eating food from roadside vendors, many people experience issues including nausea and gastrointestinal pain. Many people who eat stale or damaged food also end up with food illnesses.

Food poisoning

“Food poisoning is caused by consuming raw or undercooked foods contaminated with bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli,” he advised. Diarrhea and other gastrointestinal illnesses are encouraged by the use of polluted water. By following this important advice, one can maintain good digestive health throughout the monsoon. In addition, gastroenteritis, sometimes known as stomach flu, is another issue that causes inflammation of the intestines, stomach, and gastrointestinal tract. It is extremely contagious and spreads through contact with sick people as well as through tainted food and water. It causes vomiting and watery diarrhea, as well as discomfort, fever, nausea, and headaches.

Tips during this monsoon:

• Choose probiotics; they are beneficial to the gut. Eat buttermilk and yoghurt. Obtain professional assistance if necessary.
• Get enough water to help with digestion and detoxification. At least 10–12 glasses of water should be consumed each day. Keep in mind that overhydrating the body can sometimes be detrimental.
• Avoid eating raw vegetables; instead, choose steamed or boiled ones. Raw vegetables may contain germs and viruses that might disturb gut health and increase the risk of stomach infections.
• Avoid consuming RAW seafood in your diet because it will make you sick because the water is contaminated during the monsoon season. Additionally, one should minimize their consumption of canned, processed, and junk food.
