For the best result, choose soft drinks, cold water or green tea without sugar that will help you to relieve thirst. Experts also recommend drink about 100-200 ml of fluid every 40-50 minutes. Besides, do not underestimate soups – cold soups are not only refreshing, but also good when trying to receive fluids.
2) Choose lower-calorie meals
Forget the fatty meat, cakes, pancakes when weather is hot and eat more fruits, vegetables and dairy products. However, you don’t need to abandon the fat. Here’s how your menu should look on the hot day: 28 percent of fat (2/3 of them should be received from vegetables), 55 percent of protein (equally, vegetable and animal proteins), and 17 percent of carbohydrates.
3) Change your diet regime
Hot weather is the real test of our body. We complain about the lack of appetite and feel the gravity fed. According to specialists, in order to help the body adjust to the heat we need to change our eating plan and eat on a cooler time of day.

To avoid this, it is necessary to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, drink natural juices, tea and yeast. And do not forget to use a little less salt than usual.
