With summer on its peak at my place, just wanted to know which all healthy food your guys opt during this summers.

what about eating lots of vege and fruits? they give "cooling properties"...red meat etc could be heaty...

I always buy watermellons in summer. When you take one right out of the fridge, it is so tasty and refreshing, and it does fill you up, too, so you are not hungry and you don't crave calories.

i would like to suggest papaya as well, and coconut water and rose water are great options as well

I would disagree with papaya. It is a 'heat' food. That's why
they don't recommend pregnant women to eat that.

Iced green tea and lots of fruits and veg from the farmer's market! Oh and as much fish as the hubby can catch.

a lot of fresh veggies & fruits should top the list....
i.e. SALADS - various types.....

i would say .....always eat light food specially @ night....atleast i prefer it so...

Cold Soups are a the IN thing this summer....

i wouldn't disagree, but i would just say

Papaya contains a protein digesting enzyme called ‘papain’ and hence one of the best foods for digestion.

I know the good things about papaya. It is good for diabetics also.

It is just not recommended for pregnant women.

Point very well noted mr farce, thank you

I take lots of salad, green vegetables, watermelon and drink lots of water with glucose which makes me energetic and refreshing.

Water is a must.....!drink lots n lots of water.....

also lime juice, lemonade...iced teas....

Lots of water intake. Guess that is really important! And all the things you suggested we're great! Watermelons are my favourite so juicy and refreshing.

As summer is at peak try to avoid more spice items and take more watery foods like watermelon, fruit juices, tender cocunut etc. Avoid packed drinks.

Drink more water, have fruits like watermelon, papaya, pineapple. These foods will give you more cooling to body. Tender coconut water will increase your hydration rate, so you will not feel tired often. So drink tender coconut water whenever you feel tired.

In case no one has mentioned this before, please drink more water

oh my goodness over the weekend, my husband and I ate an entire watermelon, an entire canteloupe, three pounds of grapes, a bag of peaches, and six grapefruit!

Yay for fruit!

LOL Sweetz, that was one fruity weekend!

We are eating lots of fruit as well right now - apples, cherries, oranges. I found this unusually small oranges, they are sweet and very easy to peel. I only have two left, I need to go get more!
