During summers many do not feel like eating Body Cooling Foods due to heat. Being outdoors more often—and sweating—ups your risk for health problems such as dehydration, skin sensitivities, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is important to have a good diet (nutrition) as well as hydrate yourself during summer.

Here are 10 simple tips for summer that everyone can follow.

The smartest way to counteract the summer heat is to eat plenty of fresh, organic vegetables and fruits. Different seasons need different diets to maintain the body. Eating small healthy meals at regular intervals with a healthy serving of fruit and vegetable salads are the best method as they keep the body cool and also strengthen the vitamin content. Fruits and veggies are rich in fiber and help you stay full longer and also burn off calories. If you aren’t too fond off salads, you could choose to make juices, smooth.

Get more protein

it is important to know what you are eating. Are you eating too many fats, carbohydrates or proteins? Summer is not the time for unhealthy fats and simple carbs – proteins are what keep you cool, giving a natural, healthy glow to your skin and hair. Lean meats like chicken, broiled fish, and beans are lighter though.
