When hot summers are nearing, make some simple changes in your meals to escape from the effects of heat exposure. Water loss from the body is the major concern during summers and the best way to hydrate your body is by increasing the intake of liquids. But there are few other techniques too to keep your body cool and light.
It is better to avoid heavy food, especially those that are oily. During summers, it is difficult to digest such food. Restricting yourself to vegetarian diet can be of great help. Avoid non-vegetarian food for few months.
Always be cautious of the water you drink. You never know when you may suffer of some water-borne disease.
Cooking food at proper temperature is vital. Also, separate raw food and cooked food. Keeping them together can cross-contaminate food. Incase of doubt about the freshness of food, just throw it out!
Have loads of fresh and green vegetables. Salads with your choice of dressings can be good fillers and easy to digest. Cucumbers and tomatoes can be as cool as ice for your body.
Fruits are the best energy agents that keep you active ever. Fruits like watermelons, grapes, sweet melons and mangoes keep your body cool and regulate the heat. Instead of consuming packaged fruit juices and punch, make your own ice-crushed cocktails and drinks with different combinations.
