Dehydration, stomach problems, heat stroke, all these things are seen in the summer season. It is very important to keep the body cool from the inside in summer. If the heat increases in the body, then its symptoms are visible in the body. Many such tips have been mentioned in Ayurveda, following which you can stay healthy in summer. We spoke to Nutritionist and Ayurvedic Counsellor, CharulVerma about this and learn tips to stay healthy this summer.
Take care of hydration
The most important thing to stay healthy in summer is to drink at least 7-8 glasses of water throughout the day so that dehydration does not occur. Apart from this, you can drink coconut water, buttermilk, sugarcane juice and other healthy drinks. Don't add too much ice to these drinks. This can affect digestion.
Follow pitta balancing diet
Pitta Dosha increases in summer, so include cool and hydrating fruits and vegetables in your diet in summer. Include both sweet and bitter juices in your diet. Eat watermelon, pear, grapes, cucumber, zucchini and leafy vegetables. Eat less heavy, oily and spicy food.
Practice
Try doing your massage. For this, use cold oil such as coconut oil. This will keep the body temperature cool. You can do this in the morning before taking a bath.
Do the exercise
Try not to step out of the house in the afternoon. Exercise in the morning or evening. Include walking, cycling and lightweight lifting in your routine.
Use cold spices
Include cool spices and herbs such as cumin, cardamom, coriander, fennel and gulkand in your diet. This helps in reducing the body temperature.
Try to relax yourself
Make stress-reducing things like yoga, meditation and pranayama a part of your routine. They balance the mind and help in removing extra heat from the body.
