Summer is a year-round problem in a tropical country like India where a combination of heat and humidity puts you at danger of heat stroke and dehydration, both of which are exacerbated if you exercise often. However, you should also pay attention to your nutrition and what you put into your body at this time.
After a long hot day, your body need more fluids than drinking water can provide. Some of the best summer healthy treats to refresh you after a long hot summer day include:
1. Yoghurt - Speaking of treats, there are few better than yoghurt. Whether it’s a fruity flavoured Greek yoghurt that you serve in cups or regular yoghurt that you use as a dip or eat as is, it’s super refreshing no matter how you eat it. Its health benefits are immense too. It’s packed with protein, nutrients and if it contains live cultures, can improve your gut bacteria too.
2. Cucumber Sandwiches - We’ll keep this short. We wanted something savoury on the list, and is there anything better than a combination of cold cucumber and fresh chutney? We don’t think so! Want to skip the carbs? Use the cucumber as the ‘bread’ and create bite sized-sandwiches using some fresh cheese!
