In Ayurveda, summer is linked with excess heat, so cooling foods can help keep the body balanced. Choose fresh, hydrating foods such as cucumber, watermelon, coconut, leafy greens, and sweet fruits like grapes and pears. Cooling herbs such as mint, cilantro, and fennel can also support digestion and refresh the body. Light meals are best during hot weather, so enjoy salads, rice, lentils, and vegetable soups. Avoid too many spicy, fried, or oily foods, as they may increase internal heat. Eating seasonal, cooling foods can help you feel energized, calm, and healthy throughout summer.
