‘Rajni sleepless, long burning days, Aram nahi ja jaane re..’ Rabindranath’s words clearly understand the evil nature. The body and mind become restless to get some comfort in the heat.
The intensity of heat is increasing day by day. Even a sudden downpour can’t bring back relief. Nature seems to be getting more cruel lately. We are responsible for that. Still, it is our responsibility to keep ourselves healthy. Some wrong actions can increase the heat. There are also some activities that will reduce the feeling of heat, you can get relief even in intense heat. Let’s know what strategies can be adopted to get relief in intense heat-
Food awareness

So first of all choose those foods, which give you comfort. Avoid heavy and spicy food as much as possible in summer. Eat light food instead. Choose foods that are easily digested. The body will feel some relief.
In extreme heat, the incidence of heat stroke increases several times. So you have to be more conscious when drinking water. Drink eight to 10 glasses of water on average every day. In this case, the practice of keeping a bottle of water must be done. If we do not drink clean water, we can suffer from other diseases like diarrhea.
It is better not to eat or drink outside. In summer, many people buy and eat sherbet from the side of the road. This cannot be done. Because those syrups are not made with pure water. There is fear of various diseases and germs. When going out, it is important to carry medicine, a bottle of water, syrup or saline with you. Try to eat seasonal fruits as much as possible and also keep foods like curd, milk, lemon, cucumber, vegetables in the food list. As digestion will be good, it will also be healthy during summer. Mint leaves are helpful in preventing dehydration.

You can always keep yourself in the shade. And yes, carrying sunglasses is very important.
