As temperatures rise across India, the summer heat impacts health in multiple ways. The Delhi-NCR region is expected to reach 40°C by April 21-22, increasing risks of digestive issues like bloating and food poisoning due to dehydration and altered gut immunity. Traditional North East Indian recipes emphasize cooling, light meals to support digestion during hot weather. Additionally, heat can worsen chronic pain and migraines by causing vasodilation and dehydration, prompting medical advice for symptom management.
