Scientific Reasons슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

During the monsoons, due to the lack of sunlight, our digestive systems are weaker and therefore, it is better to refrain from eating non-vegetarian food. The snacks that people eat during the Sawan fast are light and easy to digest. Also during the rains, there are many water-borne diseases. And the animal meat has chances of being infected. So it is advisable to avoid it during the monsoons.

Other Reasons

Monsoon is the time when fish and other aquatic creatures breed. Earlier, when there were no farms, people used to refrain from eating fish and other forms of seafood during the monsoon so that the aquatic creatures could breed. Also, in Hinduism, Sawan is considered a month of love. And since it is considered wrong to kill any living thing in the Hindu culture, people avoid non-veg food.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Though, now there are farms devoted to raise and process the non-veg food we eat. So this reasons stands invalid.

These are some of the common reasons why we should not consume non-vegetarian food during the monsoon and the Shravan Maas. But there are no stringent rules about the consumption of non-veg food during Sawan and everybody celebrates the festival in their own way.
