Hello there!

Summer is here again. This time, I bet that it will break all the records here in India and other parts of the world as well. Summer is really a time for us to detox, realign and take control of our lives. Ayurveda talks about the seasonal regimen and Greeshma Ritu (summer season) is the time when our energies are at rock bottom, the body is weary and tired of the heat. This should not deter you from enjoying life and just chilling out. So, here I am going to talk about 5 things you should not do this summer.

Without further ado, let's take them one by one and see how we can adjust ourselves to the physical and mental onslaught of the forthcoming scorching season.

1. GETTING DEHYDRATED

Dehydration happens when the body loses water to the extent of hampering our normal bodily functions. These are the signs, you should be looking for like Incessant thirst, dry mouth, bad breath, headache, dizziness and nausea, less urination or dark-colored urine, and never-ending fatigue & weariness. Sitting in air-conditioned rooms also can’t prevent you from getting dehydrated. Have you noticed the droplets of water running out of the vents of the AC units? The Airconditioner draws water from the environment and of course; you are in that environment too….

2. WEAR TIGHT SYNTHETIC CLOTHING:

Cotton and linen are the best for the outdoors. Cotton clothes breathe and absorb sweat faster. By virtue of physics, lighter color makes us cooler. So, wearing tight &darker shades is a total NO – NO this season.
