Types of foods to avoid during the changing season

Cold foods

Cold foods can cause the stomach to contract leading to digestive problems such as indigestion, bloating, and other digestive issues. Therefore we must avoid cold food like salads and smoothies during the changing season.

Spicy foods

Even though spicy food adds warmth to the body during cold weather, it can cause stomach problems. Spicy foods can also make one sweat leading to dehydration in colder weather.

Dairy products

Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yoghurt are known to produce mucus in the body. As the air becomes drier with the temperature drop mucus can build up in the sinuses and throat, leading to congestion and difficulty breathing.

Processed Foods

Processed foods often have a high content of sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats. These types of foods can be particularly problematic because they can cause inflammation in the body

Caffeine

Consuming too much caffeine during winter can cause health issues. Caffeine is a diuretic which leads to dehydration in the body. Since we feel less thirsty during winter the chances of dehydration are also more. Caffeine also interrupts sleep, which is important for maintaining a healthy immune system.

Alchohol

Many people turn to consuming alcohol during winter since it helps to keep the body warm. Consuming alcohol in moderation is fine but if consumed too much then it can lead to dehydration as alcohol is also diuretic. It can also hamper a good sleep cycle.
