Nutritionist Natalia Gridina told Gazeta.Ru that in the summer you should give up the popular dessert – ice cream.

Only at first glance it may seem that such a product cools on hot days.

In fact, as the doctor noted, in the process of digesting the delicacy, the body will only release more heat.

In addition, you should avoid salty and smoked foods. Such products only retain water in the body. You should also avoid sweets and fatty foods.

In the summer, as Gridina emphasized, it is necessary to include more vegetables, fruits, and berries in the diet. But at the same time, such fruits should contain more water. She singled out cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, greens, citrus fruits, and strawberries.

You also need to drink as much clean water as possible.

You can include vegetable smoothies, fruit drinks, and compotes in your diet. Homemade kvass without sugar or unnecessary additives is also suitable.

Cold soups are a great way to save yourself in the heat. For example, you can pay attention to okroshka.
