Summer can be exhausting, often leading people to crave cold treats like ice cream and fizzy drinks. However, celebrity nutritionist Luke Coutinho warns that these options only cool the mouth temporarily and do not effectively lower body temperature. Instead, he recommends six foods that hydrate and cool the body: cucumber, which is 95% water and aids in hydration and digestion; coconut water, rich in electrolytes and better than packaged drinks; watermelon, which contains 90% water and supports skin health; curd, known for its probiotics that enhance gut health; mint, which provides a refreshing cooling sensation; and matka water, stored in earthen pots to keep it naturally cool. These foods not only help regulate internal temperature but also contribute to overall health by restoring hydration and electrolytes.
