Have A Healthy Summer With These Safety Tips!

healthy summerSummer is officially here and it often indicates fun and sunshine. Unfortunately, that also brings unbearable heat induced illnesses such as sunburn, heat exhaustion, stroke, etc. Therefore, a variation in weather calls for the change in our routine, dietary habits and activity that suits the weather. So, here are some tips to help you enjoy a healthy summer! 

Safety Tips For a Healthy Summer

  1. Hydration: Heat and sweat in summers may lead to dehydration causing sleep issues, and headaches. So, no matter what time of the day it is, water is very important to prevent dehydration. Keep the body hydrated and drink a minimum of 2-3 litres (8-12 glasses) per day. In addition to water, buttermilk, lemon juice, aloe vera juice, mint and amla (Indian Gooseberry) juice with rock salt can also be included (prefer fresh ingredients). 
  2. Have healthy and light meals: One’s appetite decreases in summers because of the excessive heat but it is important to provide nutrition to the body. Prefer light, small and frequent meals which can be easily digested by the body. Prefer more fresh fruits and veggies with high water content such as melons, oranges, cucumber and tomatoes. 
  3. Avoid caffeine and fizzy drinks: Caffeine (tea, coffee) and fizzy drinks (soft drinks) dehydrate the body and also cause gastritis. Try to reduce the consumption of these products for a healthy summer! If you do have them, pair them with nuts, unsalted popcorn, plain peanuts, fox nuts, etc. 
  4. Wear the right clothes: Always prefer to wear loose and light clothes in summers as they allow the free flow of air, speed up the evaporation process and carry off the excess heat from the body, keeping it cool. 
  5. Be active: Exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes, 5 times a week. It’s the best way to keep the body active. It also improves blood circulation in the body, preventing headaches and migraine attacks during summer. One can opt for indoor activities like swimming, yoga, dancing, aerobics or outdoor activities like walking, jogging, running or cycling. The best time for outdoor activities is before 8.00 am or after 6.00 pm

Should You Eat Eggs During Summer?

should you eat eggs during summerIf you are wondering, should you have eggs during summer, then the answer is YES! It is absolutely fine to have eggs during summer, but moderation is the key. There are a lot of misconceptions on this topic and you must have definitely heard that eating eggs during summer may increase the body heat.

When you eat a protein-rich diet, your body will produce more heat to digest food and thus, burn more calories. So, having too many eggs can affect the digestive system. Although there are many theories about egg consumption. Let us look at some facts that can explain all the questions about eggs.

Nutrients in Eggs and their Benefits

  1. Good source of complete protein which helps in strong muscles and also for weight management by keeping you full for longer.
  2. Rich in iron content which increases energy and boosts your immunity.
  3. Vitamin D which helps in strengthening bones, prevents the risk of osteoporosis and helps in regulating your insulin levels.
  4. It promotes healthy eyesight. Antioxidants in eggs, lutein and zeaxanthin, helps in preventing cataract and macular degeneration.
  5. Rich in Vitamin B12 for healthy nerves and blood cells and preventing anemia.
  6. Rich in Vitamin E  which is good for skin and hair.
  7. Selenium helps prevent free radical damage, keeps your immune system healthy.
  8. Rich in Vitamin A, which you all know, is good for eye health.
  9. Rich in Choline, a nutrient for brain development and function.

So many nutrients in one food, no doubt why they are called ‘Superfood’. 

How Many Eggs Can You Eat During Summer?

For a healthy person, having a maximum of 2 eggs a day is absolutely fine. If you are a person who eats non-veg daily, then keep the intake to one per day. As said above, eating more eggs during summer can lead to stomach discomfort. People who are sensitive, and have digestive issues have to be careful and reduce it further, maybe an egg twice a week, as per their body capacity. So, have it in moderation, and get the most benefits from eggs during summer!
