The most awaited season for children – Summer Season is here. But due to the current situation (Covid-19 Lockdown), we cannot plan afternoon pool parties, shopping for the summer collection, Outdoor Sunday picnics, and much more. This summer the temperature is rising, you should pay attention to your health.
As we all are aware, our bodies are made up of 60% of the water and proper hydration in the summer season is necessary for our health.
Drinking an adequate amount of water helps in digestion, helps in lubricating joints, and maintains the temperature of the body.
Drinking fluids will always help, but remember that not all the drinks will help you stay cool in this heat. Drinks made up of sugar and alcohol can cause you to lose body fluid and cause heat-related problems, such as sunstroke or heat stroke.
Hydration tips:
1. Drink Water Before You Eat:
Drink Water
While we’re working through the day, we all feel hungry in the middle of the day. It strikes us that we need to eat a little bit. Sometimes our brain mixes the feeling of hunger and thirst at the same time. So next time you feel the same, drink lots of water before eating anything. Try skipping the water in between the meals.
2. Drink Coconut Water:

Water is a magical solution for us, as well as the animals, in this rising heat. Water is the potion of any living organism. If you want good health and remain fit and happy, it’s very important to start drinking water from now on and keep yourself hydrated.
