17th July, 2026: Monsoon is here, and with it comes the usual round of seasonal illness, colds, fevers, and coughs that test the whole family’s immunity. Seasonal shifts can affect everyone at home, from young children to older adults, making it all the more important to stay prepared. A balanced diet is the simplest way to stay ahead of it. Immune-friendly superfoods like California Almonds, whole grains, and plant and animal protein, paired with an active lifestyle, help build stronger immunity through the season.
California Almonds are one such superfood that is naturally nutrient-dense, providing 24 nutrients, including zinc, copper, and iron – nutrients associated with immune function. With immunity becoming a key focus during the monsoon, experts and actress Soha Ali Khan shares how simple, nutrient-rich foods can help support overall health during the season.
Commenting on how to stay healthy this monsoon, Sheela Krishnaswamy, Nutrition and Wellness Consultant, said, “Monsoon is the season when our body’s defences are most tested. Small, consistent dietary choices can make a significant difference in how well your immunity holds up. Including almonds in your daily routine is one such simple habit. They provide 24 nutrients, including vitamin E, and several polyphenols, both of which act as antioxidants and support immunity.

Seasonal changes can make us vulnerable to infections, and what we eat plays a critical role in keeping us protected. I always advise my clients to focus on a balanced diet rich in immune-supporting nutrients. Foods like whole grains, lean proteins, and California Almonds are some of my top recommendations. California Almonds are naturally nutrient-dense, providing zinc, copper, and iron, key nutrients associated with immune function – making them a simple and effective addition to your daily monsoon diet.”
