Food that Can Help You Fight in Sunny Days

Feeling Dehydrated due to summer heat? Include vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and fats to keep one’s mental health in check, instead of junk food that provides instant energy.

Summers are tough and it’s easy to feel dehydrated. Consuming fast food or junk food can make it worse by damaging gut bacteria and causing mood swings, starting with nervousness and anxiety. That is because simple carbohydrates lead to acidity in the gut. Even refined sugar and dessert can make you feel bloated.

During summers, one needs to check their water intake, in the form of juice or water-based smoothies.
