Summer is back with angry Sun’s roasting rays and increased number of health risks. Instead of being uncomfortable, question-minded and worried, you should keep finding new ways to remain as cool as cucumber. Read on as we take a look at some surefire ways that perfectly beat those annoying heats.

•    Avoid black or dark coloured clothes. Wear white or light coloured clothing that do not absorbs Sun’s heat and increase your body temperature. Also prefer to wear light shoes.

•    Your body requires plenty of water during summer because you lose essential fluids through sweating. Set a routine, increase the no. of times you drink water and stick to it. This is important to avoid dehydration. Alcoholic beverages clubbed with non-veg food should be avoided to ignore any unwelcome health risks.

•    Heavy meals can delay your body’s cooling process. Ignore them and stick to light foods. Have salads and fruits juices, preferably at home.

•    Go for summer drinks like Thandai, Lassi and Panha. They are a great way to remain cool. But don’t drink excessively. Over the edge drinking can upset your stomach than to do anything good.

•    Apart from drinks, you can also rely on other ‘beat the heat’ ice treats like Misti doi, Kesar badam kulfi, chilled soups etc to further stay cool.

•    Try to use sunscreen when you are heading out under the Sun and stay indoors to avoid the Sun’s exposure during the peak time (10.30 AM to 4.30 PM)

•    Strenuous activities should be performed in the early morning or in the evening time. Try the exercises that don’t overheat the body. Yoga is a good option to stay relaxed and remain cool. A dip in the pool is another great thing to do during the summer time.

•    If you are bound to work out of any sheltered place, make sure to take short breaks. If possible, eat homemade foods as much as you can. It is always better to avoid the openly available/displayed foods and fruits.

All the above-mentioned points help you beat the heat. But nothing is comparable with water.  To remain 100% fit this summer, try to increase the intake of water.  It is the greatest natural help you can count on.
