How to Beat Summer Heat in Dubai!
1| Better Gut, Better Health:
Upgrade your meals to be more gut-friendly with these easy swaps. Start your day by sprinkling hemp seeds on your breakfast bowl, opt for fresh sourdough bread in your sandwiches, add a dash of spirulina to your smoothie bowls, sip on a cup of bone broth with your meals, and toss some sauerkraut into your salads. Your gut will thank you!
2| Keep Your Cool & Emphasize Electrolytes:
Sweating in the heat can throw off your electrolyte balance, so it’s crucial to replenish them. Load up on electrolyte-rich foods like coconut water, bananas, yogurt, and leafy greens to stay hydrated and support optimal muscle function.
3| Prioritize Meal Prep:
Stay on track with their nutrition goals by prioritizing meal prep. Dedicate some time each week to plan and prepare meals and snacks in advance. Pre-cutting fruits and vegetables, portioning out snacks, and preparing grab-and-go options can save time and ensure healthy choices throughout the week
4| Freeze Your Favorites:
DIY Frozen Snacks! Say goodbye to melting in the sun with homemade frozen treats! Freeze your go-to fruits like grapes, berries, and bananas for a chilly, guilt-free snack. Blend them into popsicles or toss them into sparkling water for a refreshing pick-me-up that screams summer vibes.
5| Pack Smart Snacks:
Stay Nourished On-the-Go! Whether you’re traveling or shuttling the kids around town, snacks are a must. Keep it simple with portable options like nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and granola bars to curb hunger wherever you are.
6| Hydrate Like a Boss:
Infuse Your Water with Flavor! Stay cool and hydrated with a touch of flavour! Jazz up your water with citrus slices, cucumber, mint. It’s an easy way to stay refreshed, hydrated, and ready to take on whatever summer throws your way.
