7 UNHEALTHY FOODS TO AVOID DURING SUMMER

Summer is the hottest of the four temperate seasons, falling between spring and autumn. At the summer solstice, the days are longest and the nights are shortest, with day-length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice.
The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, tradition, and culture, but when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.
Normally summers last for around 3 months, starting from April to June and are literally testing times for one. With the increasing global temperatures and unbearable heat, one needs to take extremely good care of oneself during this time especially when it comes to the food we eat. Some of these foods are very healthy during the other seasons but due to the nature of the summer weather or climate it automatically becomes unhealthy to the body and below are foods that one should avoid eating them during summer:

FRIED FLOUR FOODS;

Fats that are unimaginably bad for us. They fill your blood with cholesterol and make you feel hungry very soon. You end up eating a lot more than you would usually eat. While we all love the taste of flour based snacks like donuts, there’s no denying the fact that they aren’t too good for our health. Go for more baked than fried, or whole-wheat than white ones. Don’t let this inflame your body.

NON VEGETABLE FOODS:

chicken
Nonvegetarian food contains heat and takes longer to digest which makes you feel unhealthy during summers. This can make a person sweat more and cause digestive problems. Avoid gravy-laden, thick creamed and oil-based chicken, meat and fish dishes. Go vegetarian and healthy.

NUTS:

And while there’s no comparable stat on grown-ups and weight gain, barbecues, state fairs, and waterside food vendors are not good for the body during summer.
