The heat is on!! We are all reeling with the sweltering heat but other than leaving the AC on 24 X 7 (which overall doesn’t help us or the planet) let’s look at 8 natural ways to beat the heat.

👉🏻Add mint and sabja seeds to drinking water:
Both are cooling by nature and together they give a nice bite and flavor. Keep a couple of glass bottles with a tablespoon on mint leaves and 1 teaspoon of sabja seeds each and enjoy through the day.

👉🏻Avoid spicy and heavy foods:
Food that is rich, greasy, spicy, difficult to digest, makes one feel sluggish, tired and very thirsty. Beans like rajma, chole and fried food are not suitable for summers.

👉🏻Have water-rich fruits and salads:
Fruits such as watermelon, pineapple have a water content which not only quench thirst but also provide the body with essential nutrients while cooling it. In fact all seasonal summer fruits are great to have. Cucumbers and other salad veggies contain a lot of water.

👉🏻Use herb cooling and spices in foods:
Spices and herbs such as elaichi, saunf, dhania seeds, lemon grass when added to food or infusions help to keep the body cool.

👉🏻Drink water from a matka:
Instead of adding ice cubes or have chilled water from the refrigerator, drinking water stored in an earthen pot (matka) is so refreshing.

👉🏻Use khus curtains on windows:
Khus curtains are commonly in earlier times in hot and dry areas. These curtains cool down the indoor environment of the home. Water is sprinkled on them and when air blows through the curtain, the room gets cooled.

👉🏻Wear clothes made out of cotton or mulmul:
Stick to clothes made from natural fabrics which help your skin breathe rather clothes made from blends or dry fit or synthetic fabric. Loose fitted clothes also help for the air to circulate around the body.

👉🏻Have 2 or more luke warm showers in a day:
Taking 2 or more showers help to cool the body but instead of cold water, use luke warm water.
Lukewarm water promotes good blood circulation by cooling the body temperature.
