This is the religious reason for the prohibition of eating non-veg

According to religious beliefs, the month of Sawan is considered very sacred and important in Hinduism. During this time, Lord Shiva is worshipped and fasts are also observed to get his blessings. In such a situation, following the rules of purity and worship of this month, non-veg food is avoided. Because of this, non-veg food is prohibited.

Not only faith but science is also the reason behind this

There is also a health issue behind not eating non-veg in the month of Sawan. Actually, monsoon arrives in this month and due to lack of sunlight during the rainy season, metabolism i.e. digestive power often becomes weak. In such a situation, eating heavy food like non-veg becomes difficult to digest and due to its rotting in the intestine, many types of problems can occur.

Other reasons for not eating non-veg

Experts say that one of the reasons for not eating non-veg during the monsoon is that it is the breeding season. In such a situation, eating any pregnant animal can cause many types of harm to our body.

According to science, there is no harm in eating such creatures, but if they are not cooked properly, it has a bad effect on our health.

There is a risk of infection

Let us tell you, non-veg should not be eaten during the month of Saavan because due to continuous rains, there is moisture everywhere. Due to this, bacteria and germs get a good opportunity to grow.

In such a situation, the risk of infection increases by eating animals that eat grass and leaves, because insects and bacteria enter the body of animals through grass and leaves, which increases the risk of infection.

Therefore, it is advisable to stay away from non-veg in this season. If you want to avoid infections and diseases, then avoid eating non-veg in this season.
