Experts Advise Dietary Changes to Manage Health During India’s Summer Heatwaves

As India faces intense summer heatwaves, health experts advise dietary adjustments to manage dehydration and heat-related illnesses. Avoiding heavy, oily, spicy, and sugary foods—such as deep-fried snacks, rich gravies, and sugary beverages—can reduce digestive discomfort and dehydration risks. Conversely, consuming hydrating and cooling foods like buttermilk, cucumber, melons, and soaked chia seeds can help maintain body temperature and hydration, supporting overall health during hot and humid conditions.
