In summers our body naturally lose its moisture so you need to drink plenty of purified water (2-3 liters a day) to keep yourself hydrated.

Yogurt is considered to be a super food and helps you maintain the digestive system. It is a natural probiotic that keeps your gut healthy and maintains the pH levels of our body and is very effective for the treatment of stomach infection. It is also a very good choice for lactose intolerant people.

Yogurt can be consumed plain or you can take it in form of smoothies, buttermilk etc.

Avoid alcohol, coffee, tea. These are not considered good during summers but if you can't refrain yourself from tea and coffee then it is better to prefer green tea, herbal tea, lemon tea, iced tea, cold coffee.

Avoid carbonated drinks like soda, cold drinks, canned, bottled and preserved juices and beverages as these are loaded with high sugar, preservatives and salts.

Avoid deep fried, greasy, spicy food in summers as these foods are acidic in nature and may cause trouble during summers.

Unhealthy eating comes naturally during summers but try to be wise with your choices and strictly avoid street food; junk foods, stale food etc eat freshly cooked homemade food.

Though packet foods like chips, chocolates, biscuits and namkeens etc tastes very yummy to our tongue but are very harmful for our health, though these products are considered to be high in energy but internally they makes you lethargic and lose your concentration.

If you want to be active then strictly avoid high consumption of salt and sugar because these actually absorb water from our body.

If you want to make drinks then you can use flavored ice cubes put watermelon, rose, mint, lemon, cherry, orange, basil etc in ice tray and fill it with purified water, let it freeze and use them in your dinks. It makes you feel refreshing and is a healthy option.

Take your water bottle along with you while travelling and avoid heavy meals.

Eat less, drink more.
