How do I hydrate myself these days? {Health}

Hyderabad is getting unbearably hot! And, I had started to get horrible headaches everyday. That was one of the reasons I was not very active in the past two weeks.

And then, I had to find a solution for it because my energy was literally being sucked out by sun! Oh, do you also remember that glucose ad in which sun drinks a boy's energy using the straw? It was an amazing concept!

The only answer in summer to this excessive drainage of energy is Hydration. You may drink loads of water but at the end its of no avail. So, what other remedies I used to keep away the dehydration.

Curd/Buttermilk/Yogurt

Every night I save a glass of curd in fridge and pour it into a bottle in the morning, add just a bit of water and keep on sipping it till the end of the day. No doubt, this has worked like a charm.

Curd is great at regulating the body temperature. But, it is always better to have it in the buttermilk format instead of the full-of-fat curd format. Since I don't have a choice, I do not bother with it. But, you can definitely give a try!

And, moreover, I like curd and do not really care much about fat and other things. Also, I do not put any salt or sugar in the bottle. Its filling as well. And, my headaches have been in control.

Fruit Juices

I have upped my intake of fruits and fruit juices very recently. I prefer citrus or hydrating fruits instead of banana (which is my fav!) or mangoes! The advantage is the citrus and hydrating fruits have lesser sugar content and easy on the stomach as well!!

So, gorge on watermelon and berries and mausambis (I do not know what is it called in English!). And, surprisingly, I am liking watermelon now (I generally hate it!). Oh, I forgot about the other melon varieties - musk melon and family.

No Spices and Heavy Foods
As it is, I eat the food prepared by the cook which is not so homely. So, I avoid eating spices or anything heavy in the entire day. In fact, in summers, my body repulses anything which is excessively fried or any junk. 

That makes my stomach very happy. But, this might not be the case with everyone. So, I would just say avoid excess of spices, heavy foods and non-veg as well. 

Non-vegetarian food increases the body temperature. And, it makes the body dehydrated. Also, one of my friend got boils on her body because of the heat so I shall be discussing how to combat body heat!

So, are you feeling the summer effects? How are you keeping yourself hydrated?
