Hydrate to rejuvenate

Summer is a pitta season, the heat levels are much higher and so the body automatically craves for cooler food and environment. Keeping yourself hydrated is very important. Consumption of water and fruit juices is essential. Earthen pots keep the water cool and maintain high oxygen content. Very cold water from the refrigerator should be avoided. Fruit juices must be consumed immediately and should not be stored for a longer time.
