New Delhi, Wednesday, July 18, Our mouth starts watering whenever we come across stalls of snacks such as Samosas, Pakodas or pani-puri, but when monsoon becomes active it is advisable to stay away from such snacks. Reason, everything cooked outside whether in a restaurant, hotel or at snacks stalls, tends to use water that might be contaminated. Shopkeepers usually do not care about your health and went on to use this water to cook snacks.

They do not bother to use boiled or clean water to wash the vegetables that are homes to disease carrying mosquitoes and several insects as this is the best season for them to lay eggs on the leaves or bodies of vegetables.

Snacks like pakodas made of these vegetables and leaves can leave you sick.

Oily snacks should also be avoided as our digestion system becomes weak due to excessive sweating or dehydration during the hot and humid monsoon months. In such situation, oily snacks can leave your stomach affected with infections.

So, why take a risk and damage your health? Say, goodbye to these oily snacks till winter arrives.
