It generates body heat and during monsoon this may lead to skin issues or digestion-related discomfort if consumed in excess

Fermentation risk

High natural sugars in mango can ferment quickly inside the gut causing gas and bloating in humid conditions of rainy months

Lychee

Lychee tends to spoil fast in humid air and eating it after spoilage could increase the risk of food poisoning or gut infection

Pineapple

Pineapple’s sharp acidity may irritate the stomach lining which is more sensitive during monsoon and cause mild gastric issues

Watermelon

Eating watermelon in monsoon can impact your digestive system since it holds excess water and can slow digestion
