Summer is around the corner.
Here in India summers could get that hot, it may lead to medical attention. Let’s
get ready to face this and find some scientific ways to be fit to resist it.
Skin cells
contain mostly water, and if you're dehydrated, skin can look and feel parched.
While the “8 glasses a day” rule is no longer valid, it’s important to stay
hydrated throughout the day by drinking when you're thirsty. An average adult
need approximately 4 liters of water per day. Drinking lots of water is the
best way to avoid sun stroke.
Take lots of fruits and
vegetables. Juices are the best way to be hydrated. Fruits and vegetables will
give you lots of Vitamins and minerals, also adds a lot of fiber to your diet.
Most of the fruits are rich in antioxidants which will check your immunity and
keep most of the lifestyle disorders at bay. Watermelon
is more than just a tasty dessert alternative or salad addition. Its high
levels of lycopene mean that it’s a valuable ally in the
fight against heart disease. Pink grapefruit and guava boast similar lycopene
content, so eat up.
Healthy fat
contains essential fatty acids that help skin resist UV damage. EFAs (Essential
fatty acids) are also part of the cell membranes that help hold in moisture.
EFAs are found in most vegetable oils like sunflower, safflower, Mustard seed,
Corn, Soya, Wheat germ, Pumpkin seed, Walnut, Most grains and green leafy
vegetables. Fish oils are a very good source of EFAs. The body can't synthesize
EFAs, so consume about 1 tablespoon of these oils daily to keep skin supple. 
Green Tea
is rich in antioxidants that decrease inflammation and protect cell membranes. Studies
have shown that tea may also reduce the damage of sunburns and overexposure to ultraviolet
light. Green tea is especially rich in a compound known as EGCG
(Epigallocatechin gallate) which may acts as a "fountain of youth" of
sorts for skin by reactivating dying skin cells. EGCG is
the most abundant catechin in tea.
