Beat the Heat
Summers bring along with it the scorching heat, sweating and a host of several other heat-related issues. With the change in season, the human body naturally needs a change in diet and lifestyle depending on the season. Let us try to Beat the Heat this summer with the following tips:
The right diet:

Keep yourself well hydrated by drinking 2-3 liters of water daily. Make sure to carry a water bottle while traveling.
- Workout schedule:
Exercise can be restricted to the coolest hours of the day (early morning and evening) to avoid exhaustion.
- Get adequate sleep:
Limit your exposure to lights, and keep the space well ventilated to cool the room which may improve sleep quality.
