While we cannot change the weather, we can keep our bodies healthy and cool with some effective foods. From eating the right food to following certain lifestyle changes, Diet plays a crucial role when it comes to dealing with an intense heatwave. Experts and nutritionists suggest that we eat summer fruits and vegetables that instantly cool down our bodies internally.

Curd
Curd gives a coolant effect to the body. The best thing about curd is that one can have it in many different variants too. Either make spicy buttermilk or a sweet lassi (you can add honey instead of sugar), it is best suited for summer days.
