Our summer reality differs a lot from our summer expectations. While we dream about enjoying bright sunshine-filled mornings and drinking tender coconut water in the open air, the harsh rays of the sun have a different plan. Over the years the weather conditions have drastically changed in a way that doesn’t benefit us. With global warming and continuous changes in the climate, summers hit us harsher than before.

 

If you’re a resident of the southern part of India, we bet you know that summer isn’t a fun affair as temperatures cross 40 degrees Celsius. The heat makes you sweat, causing your body to lose fluids and essential electrolytes. But there are some ways in which you can win against the harsh heat of the summer sun.

What you should eat

Load up on high-water-content fruits like watermelon, musk melon, grapefruit, and plums. These fruits not only provide nutrients that help you stay healthy but also provide hydration. Among vegetables, cucumber is considered high in water content and helps hydrate your body.

What you should drink

There are many options like tender coconut water, sodas, and fresh lime water available, but one needs more than just a thirst-quenching drink. Opt for 7UP Revive that not only quenches your thirst but also replenishes your body with fluids, essential electrolytes and vitamins.

What you should wear

Wear more cotton clothes. We may love our silk sarees but they only increase the heat you’re feeling since silk absorbs enormous amounts of heat. Opt for thinner materials like cotton and chiffon that will help you feel light and breezy this summer.

Sweat might be draining you out or the harsh rays of the sun may be stopping you from going about your usual day, but now you can turn your summer expectations into reality with these three simple tricks. Load up on fruits and vegetables, light clothes and 7UP Revive to help keep your body hydrated and replenished this summer.

Wear light, eat light and drink #7UPRevive for the #SweatLossRecharge of your body!
