WITH AVERAGE SUMMER TEMPERATURES RISING EACH
YEAR, IT HAS BECOME ESSENTIAL TO PAY ATTENTION TO
HEALTHY SEASONAL DIETS. LUCKILY, SUMMER BRINGS
JUICY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WITH ITSELF AS A RELIEF
FROM THE SCORCHING HEAT.
Prolonged exposure to the heat affects the
body temperature and water level, which
becomes the reason for nearly every health
risk that the season brings with itself.
It is essential to drink at least 8-9 glasses of
water daily. It not only keeps the metabolism
of the body healthy but also prevents against
the damage the sun causes to hair and skin.
The body loses essential salts and minerals
like Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium
with sweat. Fresh summer produce is
among the best natural ways to replenish
the lost electrolytes and minerals
to the body.
