Hot and dry summer is nothing new for us. When you feels melting skin, you need to follow these special tips. DIET As a rule of thumb, drink as much water as you can in any form like coconut water, butter milk and lemon juice minus the sugar. Also eat foods with high water content which include cereals, rice, wheat and vegetables such as watermelons, cucumber, oranges, carrots and spinach. Eat moderate amount of food and avoid excessive eating as stomach disorders are high when full during hot months. AVOID: Food with unrequired fat and sodium content. Sodium causes water retention, further dehydrating the body. Salty peanuts, chips and oily stuff are bad too. KIDDIES: If your kids complain of loss of appetite, give them compact meals, stuffed parathas, vegetables wrapped in chappatis, curd rice or raita khichri. Give them lots of coconut water, lemon juice or mixed fruit juice. SKIN CARE: A line of actions for infections and diseases that you need for your skin.
