Here are some Ayurvedic tips to keep cool this summer; make sure you follow them to beat the heat.

1. Eat Pitta Pacifying FoodsAs per Yogi Anoop,

you must ensure eating foods that cool your body and give you relief from excessive heat. Load up on water-rich fruits like watermelon, pears, apples, plums, berries and prunes. Pick vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cucumber.

2. Avoid Foods That Heat You Up

Avoid foods that will produce heat in your body and become hazardous. Avoid sour fruits, citrus fruits, beetroots and carrots that tend to heat up your body. Limit the intake of garlic, chili, tomato, sour cream and salted cheese to avoid hampering your system. Eat more salads, as they are cooling, especially when eaten for lunch. Try avoiding dark meats as they heat up your body.

3.    Eat At The Right Time

Always eat when your digestive fire is at its strongest, which is during lunch (mid-day). Missing your lunch during summers is equal to upsetting your pitta dosha that further makes you feel irritated and cranky.

4.Bring Coconut Oil To Your Rescue

According to the book, in the morning, as a part of your daily routine, rub 5-6 ounces ofcoconut oil on your body before taking a bath. It gives a calming, cooling and soothing effect to the skin. You can use sunflower oil alternatively.

5. Avoid Hot Drinks Or Hot Water

Drinking hot beverages will invite an upset pitta dosha. This is why you must always choose to drink beverages at room temperature in order to balance it.
