Top Summer Foods for Healthy Weight Loss and Heat Management
With summer in full swing, staying hydrated and nourished is crucial for overall health and well-being. Madhura Paroolkar Behki, Head Nutritionist and Dietician at Cult Transform, shares some valuable tips on incorporating nutrient-rich and hydrating foods into your diet to support healthy weight loss and manage the summer heat.
Watermelon, a juicy and refreshing fruit, is not only a summer favorite but also aids in weight loss due to its high fibre content and water composition. Cucumbers, with just 16 calories per cup, are low in calories and high in water and fibre, making them perfect for promoting a feeling of fullness and acting as natural detoxifiers.
Ice apples, rich in fibre and water content, are a guilt-free indulgence for satisfying sweet cravings while supporting digestion. Yoghurt, with its protein content and gut-cooling properties, is an excellent snack choice for weight loss and relief from the summer heat.
Other summer foods recommended by Behki include bottle gourd, corn, iced green tea, kokum fruit, and guava, each offering unique benefits such as prolonged satiety, appetite suppression, metabolic boost, and anti-inflammatory properties.
As you enjoy the summer season, be sure to incorporate these nutrient-rich and hydrating foods into your diet for a healthy and refreshing experience. Stay nourished, energized, and cool with these delicious and beneficial food options.
