Nautapa, considered to be the hottest phase of summer, has begun. It is believed that during these 9 days, the heat of the sun is the highest and the temperature reaches beyond 45 degrees Celsius at many places. Strong sunlight, hot winds and increasing humidity directly affect our health. This is why it is advised to be especially careful about eating during this period. Indian tradition and Ayurveda prohibit eating certain things during Nautapa, including brinjal. After all, why is eating brinjal prohibited these days and what is the reason behind it, let us know in detail.

Why should you not eat brinjal?

According to Ayurveda, brinjal is considered hot in nature. During Nautapa the body is already facing extreme heat. In such a situation, eating things with hot nature can increase bile in the body. Due to this, stomach irritation, acidity, indigestion and skin problems start increasing. Experts believe that brinjal can spoil quickly in summer. Due to high temperature, the risk of bacteria growing in it increases, which can cause food poisoning or stomach upset. This is the reason why since ancient times people have been advising to stay away from brinjal during Nautapa.

Risk of allergies and skin problems

There are some elements found in brinjal that can increase allergy problems in sensitive people. In summer, the body is already struggling with problems like dehydration and heat rash. In such a situation, eating brinjal may increase the chances of itching, rash or skin allergy.

affects digestion

During the days of Nautapa, the digestive system also starts becoming weak. Eating things that are too spicy or hot can make your stomach feel heavy. Brinjal is definitely rich in fiber, but in hot weather it can be difficult for many people to digest. Especially the elderly and children are advised to eat light and easily digestible food during this period.

What is beneficial to eat during Nautapa?

These days, things that provide coolness and hydration to the body should be included in the diet. As-
1-Curd, buttermilk and lassi
2-Watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumber
3-Coconut water and lemon water
4-Sattu and wood apple syrup
5-Green vegetables and light food
Apart from this, one should avoid eating too much fried, spicy and outside food. It is also very important to drink adequate amount of water throughout the day.

keep yourself safe like this

Avoid leaving the house in the afternoon during Nautapa. Wear light colored cotton clothes and keep your head covered while going out in the sun. Do not let there be lack of water in the body and maintain balance in the diet. Right diet and a little caution can help keep you healthy in this scorching heat.
