Summer season with its scorching heat calls for special attention to the human body, for many reasons. The summer season in India is from April to June and is the hottest time of the year with longer days and shorter nights. In summer the risk of dehydration, indigestion, food poisoning and vitamin and mineral deficiencies increases. Hence go for food that is fresh, easily digestible and keeps your body cool. Eating seasonal fruits and vegetables offer us protection from the sun as they contain high amounts of water and nutrients. Tender coconut water which is an ideal energy drink provided by nature, contains vitamins, minerals, calcium, potassium, magnesium in their natural form which replenishes the body with the nutrients lost due to sweating and dehydration. Junk food like pizzas, burgers are a big “NO” and are best avoided in summer. You must plan to eat frequent small portions of food instead of large portions as they will be difficult to digest and you may end up feeling feel lazy, heavy and bloated.
