Hydrating Foods for Reducing Internal Heat
Here are some food items you should include in your daily diet to reduce internal heat:
First, everyone’s favourite in salads, you guessed it right, cucumber. Cucumber has a property to hydrate our body. In winter, just like everyone buys sweet potatoes or hot cakes, in summer, it’s watermelon and muskmelon. They are full of nutrients, juicy, and not only hydrate but also provide us with vitamins and nutrients. Next are leafy green vegetables. Although most people don’t like green vegetables, they are good in all seasons, and especially beneficial in summer as they have a cooling effect.
Next is Punjabi’s favourite, pardon, all of India’s favourite, buttermilk. It is excellent in summer and also beneficial for digestion. Now, the king of fruits, everyone knows, mango is best to reduce body heat. Whatever benefits it has, nobody can ignore mango in summer. So this is a must-eat, even if we didn’t tell you, you must be eating it, giggles.
Other things include lemon, curd, and yogurt, which are best for us Indians. No summer is complete without shikanji, and eating curd in summer is compulsory for us Indians. Other things include fish, avocado, and coconut water. Drinking coconut water is a daily routine for most people as in summer, most of the nutrients come out of the body as sweat. To keep our body nutrient-rich, coconut water is very good. Mint is also a cooling herb, so consuming it is also beneficial.
