Eat lightly, drink plenty of water
High temperatures reduce digestion, so the summer diet should be gentle and easy to digest. Prioritize foods that are moderately sweet, sour or salty, along with refreshing drinks such as salty butter Milk, sugarcane juice, and green mango juice. These drinks not only cool the body but also keep the skin moist.
Eat cooling foods
To cool the body in the summer, you should add cooling foods such as gulkand - a mixture of rose petals and sugar. Drinking 1-2 tablespoons of milk in the morning can help cool the body and improve the skin. In addition, soaked black grapes in water and served with avocado milk also help retain water effectively. You can replace it with figs or dates to help cool from the inside.
Suppress skin and hair with herbs
Some Ayurvedic herbs can be used as masks for skin and hair care in the summer. Amla, incense wood, neem and aloe vera help moisturize and soften the skin. Henna not only nourishes hair but also cools the scalp and acts as a natural conditioner.
Avoid the sun, keep the body relaxed
Avoid going out during hot weather, prioritize lunch break to recover energy. Wear thin, breathable cotton clothes to absorb sweat and help the skin "breathe" better. Avoid wearing synthetic fabric because it can easily cause pumpkin attacks and skin rashes. The pleasant scent of natural perfume can also help improve mood and bring a refreshing feeling on hot summer days.
Avoid foods and activities that cause heat
To keep the body cool and healthy in the summer, you should avoid foods that are prone to heat such as spicy, greasy, too hot or too salty foods; at the same time, limit canned foods, alcohol and un just-sweetened curd. In addition, you should not do high-intensity exercise because it can easily cause rapid dehydration; instead, choose gentle, moderate exercises to maintain balance for the body.
