Taste Can Trigger Illness in Sawan!
Sawan is a sacred month, but indulging in certain flavorful foods can harm your health and spiritual balance. Know which items to avoid during this period to stay fit and maintain purity.
The month of Sawan is really sensitive for our body, especially the digestive system. Therefore, it is very important to take special care of food in this season. Why should spicy and fried things be avoided at this time, and what can be their side effects - let's know in detail.
Sawan and digestive system: a sensitive relationship
Why does the digestive fire become weak?
1. Humidity and humidity: Humidity increases in the atmosphere during Sawan, due to which the natural "agni" or digestive power of the body slows down.
2. Slow metabolism: The metabolism of the body slows down at this time, due to which it becomes difficult to digest heavy and spicy things.
Disadvantages of spicy and fried things
1. Stomach problems:
Acidity and gas: Garam masala, chillies and fried food increase the amount of acid in the stomach.
Diarrhea or constipation: The digestive system may get imbalanced, causing abnormal bowel movements.
2. Skin problems:
Allergies and rashes: Spicy spices increase heat in the body, which can cause skin irritation or allergies.
Acne: Especially those with oily skin may have more problems.
3. Effect on immunity:
Swelling in the body: Excessive spices can cause swelling and fatigue in the body.
Risk of diseases: A weak immune system can make you vulnerable to monsoon diseases (such as viral fever, flu).
Diet in Sawan from the point of view of Ayurveda
