-Juices From The Street Vendors-Juices sold on the roadside should be avoided as they can be made out of stale fruits or fruits which are cut well in advance and we also not sure of the kind of water being used which increases the risk of getting infected by water borne diseases like jaundice, diarrhoea or any other water-based bacterial infection.We also need to avoid fruits salad available as they are cut well in advance.Its always best if we prepare our juices at home using fresh fruits and consume it immediately.

-Leafy Vegetables-We all know the health benefits of green leafy vegetables.But its best to avoid them during monsoon as they are grown in swamps and the dampness, dirt and mud present in the leaves make these veggies more susceptible to many germs, leading to different stomach infections.
-Fried Foods-Pakoras and bhajiyas is a favorite with all of us during monsoon with our cup of garam chai.But it is best to avoid or eat less of fried foods during monsoon and science backs it up too.During this season our digestion process slows down and consuming the delectable spread of pakoras,samosas and kachodi can cause gastronomical complications like bloating and stomach upset.
