Summer Foods, Top 10 Summer Foods to Beat the Heat
Summer is the hottest season of the year with longer days and shorter nights. Extreme temperatures and dry conditions contribute to heat-related illnesses and also deaths. Being outdoors more often in summer increases the risk of dehydration, skin allergies and nutrient deficiencies. Eating seasonal fruits and vegetables can offer protection from the Sun as their nutrient contents are high during the summer.

Eating seasonally available foods is a way to stay in balance with the environment. Nature produces foods in each season that have this effect. Most of the foods that are produced in the summer can be eaten raw.

Foods have a more warming effect when they are cooked for a longer time. Foods can have a cooling effect when they are eaten raw or briefly cooked. Drinking plenty of water will help prevent dehydration and keep the body cool.
