We all love the first shower of rain after the scorching summer days. It seems like our soul is refreshed from within as the drops of rain touches our face. But unfortunately, monsoon never comes alone. It is always accompanied by a wide array of diseases like cold, cough, flu, malaria, dengue, etc. But monsoon can’t be blamed alone for bringing in the diseases. We owe it to our eating habits as well. Eating junk foods from the roadside stall is the leading factor why people often fall ill during monsoons.

If you eat Chaat and Samosas from the roadside vendors, then steer clear from such type of foods at least during the rainy season. The potatoes and the water used to prepare these foods are often contaminated. And when you eat these roadside delicacies, you fall ill.
So all the Chaat Lovers, please stay away from these 7 fast foods during the months of monsoon.
1. Pakode
We all relish enjoying hot and crispy Pakodas while it’s raining outside. But as we know these Pakodas are deep fried which makes it difficult for our digestive system to digest them. it can even cause indigestion. And if you’re eating Pakodas outside, then it’s a bigger no-no!

2. Chaat
This is the second best thing people relish eating from the roadside stalls. Every nook and the corner of our streets are jam packed with roadside vendors with their stalls. The contaminated water and potatoes can cause food poisoning and stomach infection.

3. Kachauri and Samosa
How can we forget eating Samosa and Kachauri during monsoons? The filling used in Kachauri and Samosa can cause acidity, obesity, stomach infection and typhoid as well. for your information, let me tell you the potatoes used for filling are boiled quite a long time earlier than they are cooked. All this while, they catch the deadly bacteria from the surroundings.

4. Chinese Food
The noodles sold on the roadside stalls are boiled in contaminated water. and loads of Ajinomoto, soy sauce, and rancid oil added to it further adds to its drawbacks.

5. Raw Salad
The green leafy veggies are though very beneficial for our health, but eating them during the monsoons is not a very good idea. There are many insects and pests sitting between the leaves of these vegetables. And we can’t even see them with our naked eyes. You can catch many diseases if they are eaten raw.

6. Fruit Juice
Although we should drink at least 2 glasses of fresh fruit juice every day. But the rainy days are not counted in. In monsoons, the fruits go stale very soon. But these vendors make the juice anyhow and serve them to us. These juice can hamper your immune system instead of boosting it up. Similarly, never eat the fruits which have been cut quite a long time ago.

7. Paani Puri
It breaks our heart to include this food in the list. But we have no choice because the truth has to be spoken. The water used for preparing the flavoured water is really very contaminated. And this contamination level reaches new heights during the monsoons. It can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach infection, typhoid, food poisoning, etc.
