We are in the peak of summer and the temperatures are soaring to higher levels with a high degree of humidity and heatwave. Here are seven golden ways to stay cool and beat the heat this summer.
Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. You can also include coconut water, buttermilk, and more in your diet.
Dehydration is more than just feeling thirsty. When you sweat, you lose not only water but also electrolytes. Hence, you can add 1 pinch of organic salt to your water. It can be rock salt, pink salt, Celtic salt, etc.
Schedule activities and workouts early in the morning or late in the evening.
Use a dermatological recommended broad-spectrum sunscreen when going out in the sun to protect and prevent sun damage.
Wear loose cotton clothes in light colours that absorb sweat and keep you cool.
Have light and cooling meals instead of deep fried and foods high in spice content.
