I love Indian monsoons. The pitter patter of the rain, the lush green and the delicious food that comes along. What I certainly don’t love about the monsoon is the number of allergies and infections it brings along.
With so much moisture in the air and hardly any sun, our immunity is at its lowest. An easy way to deal with this would be to eat lots of immunity boosting foods. One such food is mushrooms. They are very rich in Vitamin B and have tons of antioxidants (especially selenium), both of which play an important part in building a healthy immune system.
Mushrooms are also a great source of vegetarian protein and contain all 17 essential amino acids needed by the body. Now, healthy foods don’t necessarily have to be tasteless. So this monsoon, give my mushroom sandwich a shot!
(Quick Tip: Do wash the mushrooms properly before chopping.)
