Tips for summer
Here are some tips on how to cool in summer from health expert, Dr Vitul Gupta.
Drink lots of water, even if you’re not thirsty.
Wear loose, light-coloured and porous-cotton clothes
Always have sunglasses and umbrella and umbrella handy. Carry water and use a damp cloth on your head, neck and face.
Lassi (butter milk), ganji (rice water) and lemon water helps keep you cool in the summer.
Eat lots of salads and fibre-rich food and fruits to keep the body’s digestive system healthy. Avoid oily food—not only does it make one lethargic, but it also tends to generate heat in the body.
