Almost all of mainland India is reeling under a major heat wave.  The sun is scorching down like there is no tomorrow and the rains don't seem to be long enough to provide any respite. So what do you do to protect yourself and your loved ones from this heat of summers 2016? Resort to the Air conditioner 24X7? Don't step outdoors at all? Or make way to a water bed? Well, no need to resort to such extremities, we have some simple 5 ways to help you and your loved ones beat the heat-

1.    Liquid Diet- Well, this doesn't necessarily mean going on a literal liquid only diet, it purely means adding a variety of liquids to your diet. Cutting the carbs will help a bit as the body will produce less passive energy releasing lesser heat. Keep yourself cool with homemade ice tea, freshly cold pressed juices, squashes, etc. Whatever is your liquid mantra, follow that and stay hydrated. But remember, water is the elixir of life. Drink loads of water, as much as your body wants to. 
2.    Plenty of Fruits- Since we are talking about diet, so fruits cannot be far off. Summers are the best time to have fruits especially as a mid-meal snack. Summers are also the time when north India has a flurry of all types of mangoes. So chill those mangoes in the fridge and slurp away. Eat other fruits also like water melon, musk melon, cherries, oranges, apples etc. And if you wish good for some of your loved ones also then it's a good idea to send them fruits too. Fruit baskets make a perfect gift for summers and India-gift.in is your best place to send fruit baskets gifts to India
3.    Coolant sunscreens- So when going out in the sun never forget to pack your best sunscreen in. Considering the heat, it is advisable to ditch those oily ones which leave your face looking dry and boring. Choose a minty or vanilla flavour which has a cooling effect on your face. You can also use after sun face packs with mint which will add to the coolness.
4.    Wear cotton- Say good bye to the polyester clothing and adopt cotton. Cotton helps you breathe and choosing pure cotton tees and shorts is a great way to keep yourself cool.  Choose a good brand of organic clothing which has organic cotton options available and helps you stay feel cool and stylish this summers.
5.    Icy cool Deos- With summer comes sweat. But you can battle the sweat out with some icy cool deos and talcum powder. Choose a cool deodorant that not only keeps your skin breathing but also has a cooling effect leaving you smelling good the entire day.
