Summer Health Tips

Summer is here! While we enjoy the warmth and sunshine, it's essential to prioritize our health during these hot months. Here are some tips to help you beat the heat and stay healthy: *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water (at least 8-10 glasses a day) and other fluids like coconut water, juices, and herbal teas. Avoid caffeine and alcohol as they can dehydrate you further. *Dress Smart*: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothes made of breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or silk. Avoid dark colors and opt for light, pastel shades that reflect the sun's rays. *Protect Your Skin*: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before stepping out. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating. Wear a hat, sunglasses, and seek shade when the sun is strongest (11am-3pm). *Beat the Heat*: Stay indoors during peak sun hours, use cooling packs or wet towels to cool down, and take cool showers or baths to bring down your body temperature. *Eat Right*: Include cooling foods like salads, fruits, yogurts, and cucumbers in your diet. Avoid heavy, spicy, or oily foods that can increase body heat. *Rest and Relax*: Get enough sleep (7-8 hours) and take breaks to rest and relax. Avoid strenuous activities during peak sun hours. By following these simple tips, you'll be well-equipped to tackle the summer heat and stay healthy, happy, and energized all season long!

A Sundar Sunday

The day was starting with a cold breeze after the soothing rains which got the temperature dipped to ~11°C. Fitness hustlers and morning people getting ready for the street walks and jogging in sweatshirts. Few also took their dogs along. There wasn't much of birds chirping, but found some parrots and few colourful birds when the 9 AM sun was shining with rays in between the buildings. The sky was pretty clear, notification popped up for a sunny day. A speed breaker for weekday chores. Terrace was today's spot. 11 AM, people were hanging their clothes to dry in the sun, a grandfather was reading his newspaper in his garden. House-help mopping floors of balcony, a couple having coffee/tea, a kid playing with his Labrador. Another one, loving with side hugs in the sun. Vegetable vendors minding their business on the streets. Women bargaining them. Observing the clouds move, like a curious child. Eagles flying high in the sky, birds moving in groups. Easy to identify skyscrapers 10-15 kms away with a minimum haze. Good dose of Vitamin D for today. Looked out for the trees, well, there are very few to identify with colourful 🌺 Glad, didn't find anyone using mobiles while consuming some Vitamin D. Plus no smoking. A Sundar Sunday after a breezy Saturday.
