Summer

February, March, April and May are the four months when the air in the
atmosphere is warm. So this season is called summer season. During these
months, solar rays are incident parallel on India and hence our country face this
warm season.
We should drink lot of water during summer. Water removes toxic liquid from
our body. In this season, we should drink mango sherbet, sugarcane juice and
lime juice. We should drink buttermilk, before going out from home during day
time. Some fruits like mango, jackfruit, watermelon and muskmelon seasonal
fruits and mostly available in summer season. We should not lose this
opportunity of eating these fruits.
We should wear thin and loose cotton clothes during this season. During day,
when we go out from home, we should wear a white colour cap over our head.
Because white colour reflects sunlight. We should not wear dark colour caps, as
dark colour absorbs more sunlight and hence warm our head which is hazardous
for health.

Monsoon
June, July, August and September are the four months when it rains. So this
season is called the rainy season. During these months, there are winds blow
from southern hemisphere to India. These winds are called as South-west
monsoon winds. Hence, rainy season is also called as Monsoon season.
Special care should be taken in this season, because micro-organisms remain
active throughout the season due to high humidity. We should eat light and
moderate food. Light and astringent food like fibrous vegetables, snake gourd,
smooth gourd, bitter gourd, etc. should be eaten during this season as such
foods are easy to digest. Fresh and warm food should be eaten.
We should not wear moist clothes because they can contain nuisance microorganisms. So, we should wear dry clothes. To protect ourselves from the rain
we use umbrellas, raincoats, gumboots, etc.

Winter
Air in the atmosphere during October, November, December and January
months is cold. So this season is called winter season. The air in winter is cold
and dry. Sometimes when there is a cold wave then it is very cold. This season is
not ideal for micro-organisms and hence they cannot propagate in the season.
During the season, people generally face problems of cold and Hypothermia.
Many people die due to Hypothermia.
During the season, the body needs food that will give a lot of warmth and
energy. So we eat sweets, dried foods, groundnuts, sesame which provides a lot
of oil. These days we also eat a lot of carrot halwa, bhakri made up of bajri i.e.
Bajre ki roti, brinjals, gum laddus, dates, almonds, sesame and gur (jaggery).
To bring warmth to our body we should wear warm woollen clothes like
sweaters, shawls, blankets, caps, mufflers. All these clothes protect the body
from cold and Hypothermia.
