The romanticism of the rains lasts only
till the first viral flu of the season hits you. Then all the joy rides, rain
dances and chilly winds are quickly traded in for a mug of hot soup and warm
blankets. Wouldn't it be lovely if one could enjoy the best of an Indian
monsoon without falling sick? Well, lets look at the your kitchen and see how
you can eat healthy through the season.
Research has proven that certain natural
foods contain a combination of nutrients that effectively boosts the immune
system when combined with adequate sleep and regular physical activity. Typically
fruits and vegetables with a vivid colour have higher concentrations of
phytonutrients; pigments that prevent and combat diseases, boost the immunity
and protect against free radicals. Regular and adequate consumption of fresh
produce is a smart way to avoid falling sick at all.
One of the simplest ways to strengthen the
body against virus and germs is to drink a cup of tea. The antioxidants in your
tea are immunity boosters. Add spices like ginger, lemon and pepper to fortify
the health quotient in your teacup! Even herbal tea is great.
Start your day
with Oats, they contain phytonutrients that activate white blood cells
responsible for fighting virus, bacteria and other germs. A bowl of cooked oats
is a filling breakfast, open to both sweet and savoury flavourings. But use
oats in other ways as well, use to thicken soups and stews, bake into cookies, sprinkle
over crumbles or in granola bars to get the best of this ingredient. Simmer oats in a tomato-garlic-onion mix sautéed
in olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
To beat back a
cold, everyone recommends a chicken noodle soup. But to avoid getting sick in
the first place, try going for the tomato soup. Studies have found that the
lycopene in tomatoes acts as an antioxidant, helping white blood cells resist
the damaging effects of free radicals. Add a cup of tomato soup to your evening
routine to unwind and get your fix of warmth and health.
An obvious way to
do all of the above is to put a salad together but raw vegetables might not be
so appealing. Try steaming or stir frying your favourite vegetables and topping it with easy to make, home-made dressings inspired by Asian cuisine and flavoured
with rice wine vinegar, toasted sesame oil, sesame, soy, chilli and ginger. Herbs
and spices like chilli and ginger are more than just flavouring agents; they
are powerhouses of nutrition; delicious and easy to incorporate into daily
meals.
Garlic and onions are flavorful healers that contain
numerous antiseptic and immunity boosting compounds. As an added plus, garlic
helps to open clogged sinuses. It's ironic that black pepper -- the spice best
known for making you sneeze -- can ward off the sniffles. Black peppercorns are
high in piperine, a compound known for its anti-fever and pain-relieving
qualities. Besides soothing a scratchy throat, ginger targets the virus that
causes colds while also reducing cough. Ginger is also a natural pain and fever
reducer and a mild sedative.
An immune system bolstered with the
goodness of anti-oxidants from fresh fruits and vegetables is a strong defense
against the common cold and flu.
