Beat the summer heat

parts are under the killer heat wave. So here are some following great tips
for you and your family to enjoy this bright season. Very firstly, making
changes in your diet will help you beat the summer fatigue.

games, tennis clinics, band camp, and football training-take place during this
hot season, and everyone is at risk for
dehydration and heat illness when
exposed to sun, high temperatures, and humidity.

Replace
the oily spicy curries with fresh and crispy fruits and vegetable salad.
Incorporating such diet even for one meal such as lunch brings a lot of energy
to your body, and does make you feel sluggish at work hours. If you drink
adequate amount of water, it’s time that along with it you include fresh
juices of fruits like watermelons, muskmelons, oranges, lemons and more.
Vegetable juices are also great if you and your family taste buds enjoy them.
Making handmade juice or flavored tang popsicles is a great hit with the kids.
Try including curd or buttermilk in your meals, so the good bacteria helps
your stomach and keeps the heat of body in control. 
For
your external self, light colored good daylight cottons and linens are best
choices. Dark colors absorb heat making it hotter, so make good choice for
yourself and family. 
However, children are at a greater risk because a child's body surface makes
up a much greater proportion of his overall weight compared to an adult. So
always take precaution of their liquid intake during this month. Form a group
with other mothers and try to do additional of home activities like painting,
ceramic art and more to keep them entertained.
