Hello,
With the weather turning hot and sultry, it is a good time to increase your intake of fluids and take special precautions if spending long hours outdoors. Drinking the right kind of fluids is important. Water is the best option and carrying bottle with you while travelling will prove beneficial. While we all love our daily cup of tea and coffee,try to keep caffeine drinks to a minimum.They may quench your thirst but do not give the necessary salts and nutrients the body needs.Further , energy drinks are full of sugar . Stick to nimbu paani or fresh juices.
Keeping yourself well-hydrated throughout the day is important. Don't wait until you feel thirsty, keep sipping on liquids in between. For those who indulge in rigorous outdoor exercises, taking a water break every 20 minutes is essential.
Be ware of the signs that your body is giving out. Notice if your heart rate is increasing or if the colour of your urine is darker than before. If yes , get out of the sun and start consuming the right foods.
Rehydration usually happens when the body has lost too much fluid and electrolytes [the salt potassium and sodium]. Keep your electrolyte level in check,by consuming juice or soups. Eating salads rich in fresh fruits and vegetables can help. Coconut water and aam -panna is good too.
Salty snacks can help. Try adding some salt or chaat masala to sliced apples and cucumber as a refreshing snack. It's also low in fats and carbohydrates and makes for a healthy option.
What you wear is also plays a role, light clothing is important to help the skin breathe, Cotton or light fabric like linens are a good option. Such materials let the body sweat, yet keep it cool and airy. Save all your skills and satin outfits for the night.
Jai jinendra.
