Ayurvedic tips to keep you cool this summer

Summer is around the corner! The long days of sunshine, picnics, vacations, gatherings with friends and family, ice cream, and good reads are just some of the things that you get to indulge in during this wonderful season!

But Summer can mean different things to different people. For some, it can be terrible and awful. 

To keep you cool this summer here are some tips to beat that summer heat.

Stay Hydrated

When the temperatures rise, getting enough to drink is important whether you’re playing sports, traveling, or just sitting in the sun. And it’s vital for your heart health. Keeping the body hydrated helps the heart more easily pump blood through the blood vessels to the muscles. Summer’s intense heat drains moisture from plants, the earth, and our bodies. That’s why it’s okay to add an extra pinch of salt to your food in the summer to compensate for sweating and to prevent fatigue. Also, drink at least six 8-ounce cups of water per day.

Eat Pitta- Pacifying Food

Make sure to eat foods which o keep your body cool and gives you relief from that excessive heat. Melons, pears, apples, berries, prunes, plums, and all-green veggies are great for summer.

Eat on Time

Always eat food when your digestive fire is strongest, which is during the mid-day. Not having your lunch during summer can disturb your pitta dosha, which will make you grumpy and uncomfortable.

Coconut Oil

Massaging coconut oil on your body before taking a bath has a relaxing, cooling, and soothing effect on the skin.
