SUMMER FOODS


COOL FOODS


Besides cooling liquids there are cooling foods that can be included in your diet. Watermelon, Muskmelon, Cucumber, Tomato, Woodapple (Belfruit) can hydrate and cool you, while taking care of your hunger.

FILL UP FLUIDS


As temperatures start soaring, our body loses precious moisture through perspiration. Replace the fluids by drinking as much fluids as you can. Increase your water intake deliberately in summer. In addition to that, have a glass of coconut water or a glass of buttermilk mid-morning, at about 11 am and also post-lunch. In fact, thin butter milk twice daily or low cal coconut water is the healthiest way to stay cool in summer. 

BEAT HEAT DURING EXERCISE 


For those who need to maintain their exercise regime, remember to have a glass of lime juice before and after exercise to regain loss of body fluid and also to avoid migraine or severe fatigue.
