/PRNewswire/ --

After Months of Heat, the sun Kissed Earth Finally Cools Down With

First Showers. Yes! It's Rainy Season! It's Time to Drench, Have fun,

Relish on Ice-Cream and Enjoy Consumption of Hot-Spicy Food

It's true that the rainy season is a sure shot respite from the sizzling hot days,

but it is equally notorious. This season brings with it a host of fungal, viral and

bacterial infections. Common cold, cough, viral fever are the commonest

health concerns. Stomach upset, malaria, jaundice, typhoid, cholera, food

poisoning attack our immune system very easily during this season.

While we cannot avoid getting drenched during monsoon, we can surely keep a

watch on what we are eating. Monsoon diet is the right solution to avoid falling

ill during such rainy days. To top it up, food combined with a good

medical

insurance

can prove helpful. While a good diet that consists of essential

nutrients has the capability to strengthen our immunity and fight against the

incessant shower, a insurance policy can save you and your family in time of

medical exigency that may occur during monsoon.

Food high in sodium i.e. salt content can promote water retention and bloating,

which in turn can cause high blood pressure. Body's digestive efficiency

decreases during this season, hence intake of fatty foods such as fish or meat

should be avoided. Steamed salads, dry fruits such as oats, muesli are vital

sources for a healthy you during rainy season. Intake of bitter vegetables like

bitter gourd and herbs like basil is a sensible choice to prevent infections. Apart

from healthy food, a pocket friendly insurance policy i.e. a

health insurance

policy from a well known company like ICICI Lombard

(www.icicilombard.com) can offer comprehensive coverage to all members of

the family which can ensure their security. Just imagine; the combination of

healthy food + health insurance policy = Happy & Healthy Family!

So, a

healthcare insurance

can do wonders in not just saving one's expenses,

but it will be equally helpful in time of medical emergencies. So, may it be rainy

or any other season, maintaining good health and holding a good medical

health insurance policy from a reputed insurance company like ICICI Lombard

General Insurance can make life simpler and easier.
