Summer Diet Tips: 5 Nutrition Mistakes To Avoid During Summers

Drinking chilled water after a day out in the Sun-

.

We’ve all been reprimanded by elders and parents for reaching out for that chilled bottle of water, straight after reaching home from a day out in the Sun. These concerns are not without reason. Drinking chilled water after a day out in the Sun may shock your system and result in sore throat as well as digestive troubles.

.

Drinking too much caffeine

.

Caffeine dehydrates you due to its diuretic property. So drinking too much coffee or tea during summers may give you headaches and make you feel dehydrated.

.

Loading up on sugary cold drinks and juices-

.

Most chilled packaged juices and cold drinks contain excessive amounts of sugar, which may increase your energy temporarily but may result in an energy crash after a few days. So lay off those cold liquid calories and drink only fresh fruit juices with natural sugars in them.

.

Going on ‘crash diets’-

.

A lot of people feel intense pressure to sport a particular body type during the summers. A lot of people talk about ‘summer body’ and slimming down for the summers. This may push a lot of people to take up fad diets that have dubious credentials but promise ‘quick results.’ Crash dieting may lead to sluggishness, headaches, nausea, and diarrhea. Reject this pressure to attain a particular body type and instead eat healthy to feel energetic and fresh.

.

Avoiding eggs, fish, and chicken-

.

There is a misconception that eggs, fish, and chicken generate excessive heat in the body and, hence, must be avoided during summers. This is not true. All three foods are rich in lean protein, which is also important for maintaining a healthy weight during summers. You may, however, want to reduce portions of fattier meats like mutton, beef, and pork during summers.
