For many, gut health goes for a toss during the summer season. Daily Indian meals like roti, subzi, and dal, which are staples, are prepared using various spices. Additionally, other Indian snacks like samosas, pav bhaji, kachori, and chaat items are all greasy and spicy. These dishes can be harsh on the gut when the temperatures soar. On such days, cold refreshing summer salads - loaded with fibre, water, nutrients and rich antioxidants, render a soothing effect on the gut and the mood.
