With the change in weather, our body adapts itself. But, when the immunity is weak, you can easily fall prey to the disease with the changing season. Therefore, it is necessary to consume the right things to maintain good health.

Nutritionist LavneetBatra has shared a list of a few things and how these foods can be helpful during the change in weather. She says, “Spring is the season of colours. But, the change in weather makes us vulnerable to common infections like colds and coughs. So, here are some foods that can keep you healthy and prevent seasonal diseases.

If the changing weather bothers you too and you easily fall prey to diseases, then definitely include these foods in your diet.

1. Moong Sprouts

The sprouting process enhances the vitamins and minerals. Hence, sprouts are rich in magnesium, phosphorus, manganese and vitamin K. This process also increases the antioxidants in the sprouts. Antioxidants like copper, iron and zinc protect the body from diseases and bacteria.

2. Vitamin-C-rich fruits and vegetables

Our body does not produce Vitamin-C by itself. That's why it becomes necessary that we include foods rich in Vitamin C in the diet. With the change of season, include orange, amla, capsicum, tomato, and cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, kale, cauliflower, broccoli etc.) in your diet.

3. Curd

Natural foods like fermented probiotics and yoghurt contain 'good bacteria'. It helps boost your immunity, keeping you safe this flu season.

4. Garlic

5. Papaya

This fruit is rich in fibre and an enzyme called papain, which improves digestion. It is also rich in Vitamin-C, which helps in boosting immunity.
