Top 5 Summer Essentials this Season!!

Hello my lovelies!

Its here, Its here!! The time of the year when all one can think of is everything refreshing and cool, yes, Summer is here!!

As summer sets in and the Sun showers its glory, it becomes absolutely necessary for us to keep certain things in mind and bring them to habit to beat the heat and not let it get on to our health. I am personally quite sensitive to heat and my body reacts in its own ways when exposed to the warmer temperatures. This is why, I have made a list of the top 5 essential things that I use and habits I follow to stay at best during the scorching heat.

1. Hydration

   I can not emphasis enough on this one. Having enough water in summer is like oxygen to our bodies. Water, fruits and food with high water content are the best for the season. My recommendation, always carry a water bottle with you, weather you're at home or while stepping out.

2. Sunscreen

   Sun protection for the skin is another crucial step that we often forget or do not give much importance to. Sunscreens are not just essential when we step out in the Sun but they need to be applied even while we are at home. This is because the ultraviolet rays from the Sun can penetrate through the walls of our houses and can literally damage our skin even at home.

3. Clothing

   Breathable, flowy clothes should be the wardrobe must haves for the summer. Cotton and linen garments are highly absorbent and breathable fabric, ideal for hot weather conditions. They promote sweat absorption, air circulation, are gentle to the skin and reduce the risk of irritation and allergies.

4. Bug Spray

   The rise in temperature directly gives an extremely comfortable environment for bugs and flies to survive, breed and be present in abundance. These small insects, at times can be harmless, however, being exposed to them can cause serious allergies, bug bites or rashes. To keep these conditions at bay, carrying a bug spray at all times is a must and applying them every time we step out is highly recommended.

5. Food

   Food also plays a vital role in staying happy and healthy in summer. Try consuming foods that are not heavy on stomach. Avoid heavy, spicy, fried and sugary foods, instead replace them with options that are high in water content like watermelon, cucumber, coconut water. Leafy greens, smaller meals, yogurt, citrus foods and berries too should be included in the diet.

   
   

   That's my list for this summer my readers.

   Do let me know if you need more of these.

   Love,

   Shriya!
