Tips for monsoon comfort During the monsoons, use lukewarm water and medicated soap for bathing. Never use strongly perfumed talc or antiperspirants. The frequency of hair washes should also be increased. Avoid complicated hairstyles, synthetic clothes and strong perfumes. Make-up should be minimised. If necessary, while going out, use waterproof make-up.

What to eat
Your diet should be carefully chalked out. A good diet scientifically worked out to suit the demands of the weather is very important. Root vegetables such as radish and potatoes should be avoided. Even leafy vegetables such as spinach and cabbage should be completely out of your daily intake because the rainy season is the breeding time for worms and these veggies might carry infection in the form of invisible eggs. Fermented foods also play havoc with health.

Go vegetarian
Meat and fish should be completely eliminated from the diet plan. Grams, gramflour, lentils, almonds, cottage cheese, paneer and sprouts are good sources of protein and minerals. A little butter or pure ghee is recommended if you do not have a weight problem.

Consuming fresh fruits and juices is essential as it cleanses the system and brings a glow to the face.
Fresh lemon and mint should be used in abundance; curd or mattha, chhachh / lassi (buttermilk) is not good for the system in Sawan-Bhadon months of rainy season. Never take more than two or three varieties of food at a time.

Since digestion becomes sluggish in this weather, salads should be minimized. Never stuff your stomach to full capacity. Eat small meals at an interval of two to three hours.
