Experts Advise Hydrating Indian Foods Over Cold Treats to Manage Summer Heat

During the intense Indian summer heat, staying hydrated is crucial, but experts highlight that drinking water alone may not suffice. Nutritionists recommend consuming traditional Indian hydrating foods to help regulate body temperature. Conversely, some health professionals caution that cold, sugary, and high-fat summer treats like ice cream may temporarily cool but can increase internal heat during digestion and disrupt hydration. Maintaining electrolyte balance and choosing light, hydrating foods are advised for effective heat management.
