How to Keep Your Body Cool and Energized

With rising temperatures in the summer, the food we eat becomes a key factor in maintaining our energy and well-being throughout the day. Our choices can either help us feel light and refreshed or leave us tired, thirsty, and sluggish.

Foods that hydrate and energize you:

Summer fruits: Watermelon, melon, grapes, and peaches are rich in water and fiber, helping to keep the body hydrated.

Fresh vegetables: Cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots provide both fluids and essential minerals.

Yogurt and laban (fermented milk): They cool the stomach and support healthy gut bacteria.

What to avoid?

Fatty and fried foods, as they increase feelings of heaviness and heat.

Spicy dishes and hot spices, which raise the body’s temperature.

Sugary and carbonated drinks, as they cause faster fluid loss.

Smart tips for a refreshing summer:

1. Drink 8–10 glasses of water daily. Add lemon slices or mint for extra freshness.

2. Split your meals into 4–5 small, light portions instead of two or three heavy ones.

3. Try chilled salads such as cucumber yogurt salad or quinoa with fresh vegetables.

4. Make natural juices part of your day, but avoid adding extra sugar.

Food in summer is not just about nutrition—it’s a way to balance your body and beat the heat. Smart meal choices guarantee a lighter, cooler, and healthier summer.
