According to Ayurveda, avoiding grains during fever can be beneficial. Here’s why:
🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective on Avoiding Grains During Fever
1️⃣ Easier Digestion – During fever, Agni (digestive fire) weakens, making it harder to digest heavy foods like grains.
2️⃣ Reduces Mucus Formation – Some grains (like wheat and rice) can increase mucus, worsening congestion and respiratory discomfort.
3️⃣ Supports Detoxification – Light, warm, and easily digestible foods help the body expel toxins faster.
4️⃣ Prevents Sluggishness – Avoiding grains prevents bloating, heaviness, and sluggish digestion.
✅ What to Eat Instead?
✔️ Warm vegetable soups 🥣
✔️ Moong dal khichdi (if grains are needed) 🌿
✔️ Herbal teas (Tulsi, Ginger, Cinnamon) ☕
✔️ Steamed vegetables 🥕🥦
✔️ Fruits like pomegranate & papaya 🍎
🌱 Ayurveda recommends consuming light, warm, and easily digestible foods to aid recovery during fever! 😊
