Avoid These 5 Leafy Veggies During the Monsoon

During the monsoon season, the increased humidity and rainfall can affect the quality and safety of certain leafy vegetables. Here are five leafy vegetables to avoid during the rainy season.


 During the monsoon, spinach can become contaminated and cause gastric problems. Additionally, too much moisture could build up there and encourage the growth of bacteria.

 When mustard greens are too damp, they can become rigid and fibrous, which could affect digestion and even cause discomfort in the stomach.

 These can become too tough and develop a bitter taste due to high moisture levels. The excess water can also contribute to a higher risk of spoilage.

When there is a lot of humidity, beetroot greens can turn soggy and slimy. Improper storage might result in digestive problems and a higher chance of contamination.

Who does not love hot coffee in chilly winters? Make it even more merry by adding some holiday-themed syrups, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings. A pleasant, warm cup of coffee might help you relax throughout the winter.

5 Reasons to Chew Fennel (Saunf) After Meals

There are several health advantages of chewing fennel seeds (Saunf), which makes it a great addition to your after-meal routine. Here are five good reasons to add saunf into your everyday diet after meals:

Chewing fennel seeds after a meal aids in improving digestion and avoiding problems like gas and bloating by stimulating the release of digestive juices.

Antioxidants found in fennel seeds, such as kaempferol and quercetin, aid in shielding the body against oxidative stress and inflammation.

Fennel seeds help reduce gas formation in the digestive tract, alleviating bloating and discomfort.

Fennel seeds contain potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure by balancing the effects of sodium in the body.

5 Types of Ladoo to Enjoy During the Monsoon


Monsoon season calls for delicious, comforting sweets and ladoos are a perfect choice. Here are five types of ladoos to enjoy during the rainy days:


These ladoos are made with sugar, ghee, and roasted gram flour. They have a rich texture and nutty flavour. They can also be stored for a long time and offer warmth and energy, making them ideal for the monsoon season.

These ladoos made with sugar, ghee and semolina, are crisp and light. They are a great rainy-day snack and often contain almonds and coconut.

These ladoos are prepared with freshly grated coconut, condensed milk, and cardamom. They are quick to make and have a delightful, sweet flavour that pairs well with rainy days.

These tiny, boondi-based ladoos are made from chickpea flour, sugar syrup and ghee. They are soft, juicy, and perfect for enjoying during festive occasions and family gatherings in the monsoon.


These crunchy ladoos are made with whole wheat flour, ghee, and either sugar or jaggery. They are said to be the best source of energy and warmth throughout the monsoon season.

Fenugreek (Methi) sprouts are gaining popularity for their incredible health benefits. These tiny sprouts, derived from fenugreek seeds, are packed with essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. Here are five benefits of adding methi sprouts to your diet:


Methi sprouts can help regulate blood sugar levels, making them beneficial for people with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition.

The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in methi sprouts can help reduce inflammation, and potentially lower the risk of chronic diseases.

Methi sprouts are high in fibre, which can help in keeping the gut healthy and prevent constipation.

Madhya Pradesh: Three tiger cubs were tragically struck by a train while crossing the railway tracks in Budhni in the Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh, resulting in one cub's death and leaving the other two critically injured. The incident occurred as the cubs, likely following their mother tigress, attempted to cross the railway tracks in Budhni.

The male cub, aged approximately nine months, succumbed to its injuries near the tracks, while two female cubs were found stranded in a drain adjacent to the rail line.

According to officials, the incident occurred on tracks in a territorial forest area within the Sehore division. Efforts by the forest department to rescue the injured cubs were hindered by the protective behaviour of the mother tigress, as she did not move away from her seriously injured cubs and kept on licking their wounds. The tigress was also agitated and roared repeatedly, preventing the rescue team from providing immediate treatment to the injured cubs.

The forest team was making continuous efforts to rescue the two injured cubs so that necessary treatment could be provided to save their lives.

Divisional Forest Officer M S Dawar confirmed that the deceased cub, aged around eight months, was recovered from the tracks and sent for postmortem examination. Rescue operations proved challenging due to the tigress' proximity and her protective stance, which delayed immediate medical attention to the injured cubs.
