1. Take more liquid

• Liquid foods are the key ingredient in keeping the body cool. With high humidity levels, sweat will not evaporate quickly. This prevents the body from releasing heat in an efficient manner. This is why it is necessary to hydrate and drink water, even when you are not thirsty. Increase water or other fresh drinks intake regardless of your activity levels.

2. Avoid beverages

• Avoid caffeinated or carbonated beverages, alcoholic beverages, and those high in sugar. All these drinks contain preservatives, colours and sugars. They are acidic in nature and act as diuretics and cause loss of fluids through urine. Soft drinks also reduce mineral levels in the body, resulting in indigestion. An excessive intake of soft drinks increases phosphorous levels in the blood which separates calcium from the bones and moves it into the blood, resulting in kidney stone and plaque on the teeth.

3. Prefer comfortable journey

• Use the comfortable vehicle to make your journey. If we take bus it may be a cheap cost to travel but the heat we get from the bus or auto is too high compared to cabs. So prefer congestion free, comfortable cabs to travel.
