Here are a few tips for the best summer food published in rediff.com and TOI
1. Water is the best option
It is a key ingredient in keeping the body cool. With high humidity
levels, sweat will not evaporate quickly. This prevents the body from
releasing heat in an efficient manner. This is why it is necessary to
hydrate and drink water, even when you are not thirsty. Increase water
intake regardless of your activity levels.
2.
Avoid caffeinated or carbonated beverages, alcoholic beverages, and those high in sugar.
All these drinks contain preservatives, colours and sugars. They are
acidic in nature and act as diuretics. They cause loss of fluids through
urine.
Many soft drinks contain diluted phosphoric acid, which damages the
inner linning of the digestive tract and, therefore, affects its
functions.
