The monsoon season also brings with it allergies, illnesses, and stomach issues because of all the tiny insects and amphibians that are present. Our bodies' capacity to digest food declines when humidity rises, which means your favourite tea and rain pakora snacks could turn into a nightmare. First, as they aid in improved digestion, seasonal fruits and juices like lychee, watermelon, and citrus fruits like jamuns are the beverages we should take throughout the monsoon season for a healthy digestive system. Additionally, several Indian beverages like aam panna and chaach will aid in the digestive improvement and help keep bacteria and viruses at bay.
Fruit Juices
Consuming seasonal fruits and vegetables is always encouraged, and consuming fruit juice is never a bad idea. Your digestion can be helped by eating fruits like watermelon, jamun, litchi, and other citrus fruits. Due to their high water content and tiny water content, watermelons aid in digestion by giving your stools volume and preventing obstructions in the digestive system. Jamuns aid in the process of detoxification and assist to avoid conditions like vomiting, dysentery, irritable bowel syndrome, and diarrhoea because of their high vitamin A and vitamin C content. Due to its high fibre level and high Vitamin C concentration, litchi aids in digestion and relieves stomach issues including constipation.
Most people in Indian households begin their days with a cup of tea, but what if your morning brew did more than just revive and energise you? What if it also supported gut health? These herbal drinks will aid in keeping your digestive system functioning properly. Ginger is a spice that encourages your body to produce digestive enzymes and gastric fluids. By aiding in food breakdown, these enzymes and gastric fluids facilitate digestion and quicken the metabolism. Due to its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory qualities, chamomile tea aids in the treatment of digestive issues such as colic, gastric acidity, hyperacidity, diarrhoea, acid reflux, and irritable bowel syndrome. Cinnamon and ginger tea is beneficial for congestion and the promotion of digestion. It helps with digestive issues because ginger speeds up the metabolic process and cinnamon lowers levels of carbon dioxide in the stomach, which lowers body warmth and promotes digestion.
Indian Drinks
When combined with sugar and salt, a peptide-rich beverage produced from sour fruits and spices can be used to treat a variety of digestive and gastrointestinal issues, including piles, diarrhoea, and constipation. In addition, it aids in the treatment of conditions like liver illnesses, night blindness, cataracts, and dry eyes. For this aam panna is the best drink to consume as it fulfils all the requirements. Chaach after a long meal helps to soothe the stomach lining and prevent the formation of harmful bacteria. It has also been shown to be beneficial for hydrating and nourishing your body.

Without that brightly coloured yellow spice, which has been used for generations for its therapeutic powers, no Indian meal is complete. Coriander water can be highly beneficial in maintaining a healthy stomach by enhancing digestion and triggering the body's own digestive juices and enzymes. It aids in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and lessens symptoms including bloating, discomfort, and abdominal pain. Due to the presence of the chemical curcumin, which is present in turmeric, and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics, turmeric can help cure irritable bowel syndrome by reducing the frequency of bowel movements, stomachaches, and diarrhoea.
