Now that the scorching heat has hit the entire country from Lucknow, the needs of our body have also started changing rapidly. Due to excessive sweating, the body gets tired quickly and dehydration occurs. In such a situation, the beginning of your day i.e. morning breakfast plays a very important role. People often have this question in their mind that will it be right to eat paratha early in the morning in this scorching heat? Or will there be no harm in drinking tea and coffee on an empty stomach?
Health and nutrition experts believe that during the summer season, our breakfast should be such that it is light on the stomach, cools the body and maintains the energy to work throughout the day. Let us know some great and easy tips to choose the right breakfast in summer.
Not heavy, light and easily digestible breakfast is better.
During the summer season, eating too much oily or spicy food in the morning can make your stomach feel heavy. Due to this, you may feel gas, acidity or unnecessary laziness throughout the day. In hot weather, the digestive system becomes a little sluggish, hence the body should eat such food which is digested quickly and easily. A light and balanced breakfast is considered best in this season.
Can we eat paratha in summer?
Paratha is the heart of Indian breakfast, but in summer it should be eaten with some caution. Paratha deep-fried in excess oil or ghee can be very heavy to digest. Health experts advise that if you feel like eating paratha, then fry it in very little oil and always eat it with a bowl of cold curd. Curd helps in cooling your body and also makes the paratha easier to digest.
How correct is it to drink tea and coffee?
Drinking a cup of strong tea or coffee as soon as you wake up in the morning is a part of the daily routine of millions of people. But according to health studies, the caffeine present in them can increase water loss in the body. Consuming too much caffeine in summer can cause nervousness and dehydration. Therefore, try to limit the quantity of tea and coffee and drink a glass of water along with it. If you want, you can include coconut water or lemon water in your morning routine.
Include cooling foods in your plate
During summer, such foods are most beneficial which have high water content.
Include curd, buttermilk, fresh fruits (like watermelon, papaya), porridge, oats or poha in your breakfast.
These things are not only light to eat, but also keep your body hydrated from inside.
Nutrition studies show that foods with high water content help a lot in maintaining balanced body temperature in summers.
Protein is also very important for energy
It is not enough for breakfast to be light, it is equally important to have nutrition in it. Include things made from eggs, curd, cheese or pulses in your diet. By having protein rich breakfast, you do not feel hungry again and again and you do not feel weak or tired throughout the day.
Special advice: Eating too many sugary or deep-fried things in the morning can cause lethargy in the body. Consuming too much sugar makes one feel tired quickly and also feels more thirsty. Therefore, keep your breakfast fresh and natural.
