Cool from within

The heat wave started a bit early this year, in February itself. Hence requesting all to cool individual-self from within. Here is how:

  • Keep hydrating and opt for buttermilk, lemon water (nimbu pani), coconut water (tender coconut), sugarcane juice, raw mango drink, etc. without ice or avoid chilled beverages from the refrigerator.
  • Use ample simple drinking water from a clay pot, naturally cold; again, truly and sincerely avoid fridge-cold water or artificially chilled water.
  • Eat seasonal fruits or veg which are high on water contents, required vitamins / minerals etc including watermelon, sugar melon / cantaloupe / mask melon, cucumber (as per your taste and availability) in their normal form, no chilling again
  • Eat curd or add dishes or eatables which will help you cool down (may vary from person to person, place to place also)
  • Wear proper light or pastel-colored cotton cloths.
  • Be inside the house, college, or work place; avoid stepping out if not required.
  • Use fan or max cooler but no AC if possible

Last and most important, just try to remember that you are in a much happier and healthier place than many others who need to work under this hot sun consistently. Absolutely no comparison, but self-talk may be useful to cool you down from within.
