What should not be done after returning home from the sun?
Avoid drinking cold water
Many people come home from the sun and drink cold water immediately. Drinking cold water after coming home from the sun causes a sudden change in body temperature which can lead to fever, chills and cough. Let the body temperature equal to the room temperature after coming home from outside. Then drink plain water instead of cold water.
Do not take a shower after coming out
If you have been walking or driving outside in the summer, do not come home and take a shower immediately. Body temperature rises a lot after coming from outside. Pouring water on the body at that time worsens the body temperature. Colds, coughs and headaches are common.
Do not do face wash
Do not pour water on the face immediately after returning home from the sun. This causes the blood vessels to spread on the face, which does not allow time to adapt to normal temperature. After exposure, allow the skin to return to normal temperature for a while, then don't forget to apply face wash and toner.
Do not turn on the AC and cooler immediately after coming out of the sun
Many people turn on the cooler and AC as soon as they come home from the sun. This should not be done at all. Our bodies take time to adapt to different temperatures. If you turn on the AC or cooler keep the temperature low. Also, do not expose the cooler and AC to the sun immediately.
Pay special attention to this in summer
Drink more water
To avoid problems like diarrhea and acidity in summer season, one should drink maximum amount of water, lemon water, juice and coconut water.
Avoid outside food
Avoid eating any food fried outside and cooked in the open. This season increases the risk of disease from contaminated food or water.
Eat a liquid diet
Drink plenty of fluids during the summer season. Include more lemon water, lassi, mango shake, cat syrup.

It is best to start the day with sweet and juicy fruits in the summer season. Watermelon, sugar cane or orange can be taken for breakfast in the morning. Onions and cucumbers can be taken as a salad for lunch. Which will eliminate digestive problems. Body temperature will also be under control.

Eating too much salt is always harmful. Salt should be controlled during the summer season. Eating moderate amounts of salt helps control blood pressure.
