Cool off during summers with these tips

Increase fluid intake to prevent dehydration. Consume ample water, fruit juices, or vegetable juices, ORS, lassi, rice water, lemon water, or buttermilk

Choose foods with high water content such as fruits (like strawberries and oranges), cucumber, and lettuce. Lighter meals aid in hydration

Before engaging in moderate to high-intensity workouts, drink 17 to 20 ounces of fluid two to three hours prior. During exercise, consume 7-10 ounces of water

Carry and use cooling sprays when outdoors in the heat. Keep curtains or blinds closed during peak daytime temperatures to maintain a cool indoor environment

Plan outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day and avoid strenuous exercise during peak heat hours
