Why Gut Matters

THE SUMMER HEAT CAN PLAY HAVOC WITH YOUR GUT AND UPSET THE MICROBIOME BALANCE, BUT THE RIGHT DIET WILL KEEP YOU STRONG AND HEALTHY.

- E. Kumar Sharma

THE HOT AND HUMID Indian summer is back and with it comes a host of health issues, ranging from exhaustion and muscle cramp to sunstroke, dehydration and more. Do not be too worried, though, as a few precautions and some home remedies can ward off many of these heat-related ailments. Doctors advise adequate intake of fluids and electrolytes (sodium, potassium and other minerals) as we lose these when we sweat. Most importantly, eat freshly prepared, non-spicy foods to keep your body healthy and rejuvenated.
