Summer is at its extreme stage, and it is making us feel uncomfortable. And it has become unbearable. The rise in mercury increases the risk of dehydration and illness. In summer, the exposure to scorching heat may lead you to have heat exhaustion, fatigue, vomiting, dizziness, heat stroke or headaches if proper care is not taken. Therefore, you need to keep yourself hydrated and drinking enough water is very important for this.
In addition to water, you should include curd, cucumber, muskmelon, orange, watermelon, etc. in your diet to stay away from dehydration in summer. Some of you take carbonated or soft drinks to cool down in summers. I strongly advise you to avoid the intake of soft/carbonated drinks. You should take traditional chillers to beat the summer heat this year. Here are 4 traditional summer chillers for your convenience:
1. Aam Panna
