Summer diet should be carefully planned as the heat can leave the body malnourished and the water percentage can decrease as well.

Summer is one of the six seasons which come annually. Every two months make a season all year round. The severe summer is in between the May to July. The strength of the body will be lost during this hot weather hence health care in summer is very vital. People feel exhausted and worn out during summers due to all-embracing heat rays of the sun, the watery portion of the body of people, animals, plants, foods and the entire atmosphere will become dry and the vata will become more in the body and the atmosphere hence health care in summer is very important. The skin will become dry and may perhaps precipitate skin diseases as eczema.

What to Drink and Eat in the summer diet:

One must take the juices of grapes, watermelon, banana, jack fruit, lemon and pineapple. This is to say foods and juices of sweet and cold and simply digestible must be taken in the summer diet. The preparations of sugar, barely/green gram, sharbats, buttermilk with sugar candy are to be used daily in the summer to freshen the body. One must take the food of white rice with meat soup of meat of animals reared in cold areas but people in hot areas should avoid it in summer time.
