You might love the rains or hate the rainy season. Either way, the monsoon brings with it some dramatic changes to your physiology. If you know how to tweak your diet and lifestyle to cope with these external changes in the season, you can do a lot to support your body.

What matters is understanding the changes and learning to go with them. You need to remember that you always have to eat differently and live differently whenever the seasons change, in order for your body to move harmoniously through them.

The biggest impact to your body during the monsoon is that your digestion will not be the same. This thought needs to be at the root of all change.

This means that you need to change what you eat, so that you eat food that is easier to digest, both in terms of the food itself and in the method of preparation. You don't need to add any superfoods. I believe that superfoods only become superfoods when they are used in the right manner at the right time.

Begin your day with hot beverages and a warm breakfast during the monsoon

Now that you know these two things that you have to keep in mind about the monsoons, I want to actually explain how you can apply this to your diet and lifestyle.

Exercise is very important during the monsoon

Poha is both delicious and healthy for the rainy season

A good digestive tea can boost your immunity during the monsoon

Boil some ginger, a tablespoon each of coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and fenugreek seeds in two cups of water. Reduce the quantity to one cup. Strain and consume with your meal.

This is a simple tea which makes a world of difference to your digestion in the monsoon. Since your digestion is at the root of immunity, improving your digestion is the best way to support your health and prevent an infection this monsoon!
