It’s not just food that helps you to tackle the fluctuating weather, here are a few more tips that can help you give the changing weather and rise in temperature a good fight.
The shift in temperatures definitely has a huge impact not only on our ecosystem but on our bodies too. In a span of 24 hours, I moved from a 5-degree temperature to a 30-degree temperature and the aftermath followed.
I think by now across the world, it must be known that the Mumbai weather has a mind of its own that even the weather prediction department can’t seem to understand!!
We often hear and read about how certain food increases the heat in our body and how certain foods cool our system and impact our moods.
For example, chocolates are known to be instant mood lifters and pure dark chocolates are even known to aid weight loss.
Well, it’s not just food that helps you to tackle the fluctuating weather, here are a few more tips that can help you give the changing weather and rise in temperature a good fight.
Yes, that is the key to almost everything. As much as we all love cold drinks, the best way to hydrate is through water and fresh, sugar-free juices. So, drink as much water as you want. Always make it a point to step out with small water of bottle whenever you move out of the house. Choose fresh lemon juice over sodas and colas. Always 0pt for fresh juices over packaged juices as this not only keeps the heat at bay it also helps regulate your metabolism.
Even though the Mumbai weather is unpredictable, it always helps to plan your day. You need to plan your outdoor work based on the temperature outside. There will be certain parts of the day that you can capitalize on for sure. Use your evenings which our cooler to exercise or just for a meal outside.
Recently at a blogger meet, nutritionist put some light on how our body gives us signals on what it needs. For example, a craving for chocolate means your body needs magnesium or a craving for something savoury means your body is craving for minerals and so on! So, when the weather fluctuates, it is best to eat foods that are suitable for the weather. It is always the best thing to eat fresh veggies and fruits and avoid something that is too oily or spicy.
While, we all love certain fashion trends and want to follow them, it is best to dress as per the season. Pick colours that reflect heat in summers and ones that absorb heat in winters. Invest in clothes that can help you mix and match as per the weather.
Snacking right is as important as eating your meals on time. Opt for dry fruits or sugar-free snacks to munch on. Peanuts, Gud or Chana are the best snacking options. You can even opt for cucumber or a light bhel to snack on. Pick juicy fruits as they tend to keep you full for longer hours.
Exercise is a great way to calm and relax your body. Go for a swim, do yoga, stretch in the shower. Do what calms you down.
We are always on the run to ensure we complete all our tasks on time however we must take it slow when the temperature fluctuates as our body and mind are trying to cope with the changing weather. So, it’s ok if once in a while you shift your workload for another day and just relax for a while.
There are a lot of other things such as drinking infused water, experiencing aromatherapy, meditation which help your body relax and unwind. It’s best to pick up things that suit you the best rather than running behind fads.

What I loved was how there is so much in the movie of the SRK we have known, and also a totally new star. The gestures, the smile, the wit and the charisma are all too familiar, but you also witness a rawness, an edginess.
When a movie that got the entire nation in a twist – for the right and wrong reasons – hits the theatres, there is bound to be noise. From ‘I am going to watch it – first day first show’ to ‘Boycott the movie and make it a flop’, social media has been a furore of posts.
Let me get one thing straight here – I did not watch Pathaan to make a statement or to simply rebel as people would put it. I went to watch it for the sheer pleasure of witnessing my favourite superstar in all his glory being what he is best at being – his magnificent self. Because when it comes to screen presence, he burns it, melts it and then resurrects it as well like no other. Because when it comes to style and passion, he owns it like a boss. Because SRK is, in a way, my last connecting point to the girl that I once was. Though I have evolved into so many more things over the years, I don’t think I am ready to let go of that girl fully yet.
There is no elephant in the room really here because it’s a fact that Bollywood has a lot of cleaning up to do. Calling out on all the problematic aspects of the industry is important and in doing that, maintaining objectivity is also equally imperative. I went for Pathaan for entertainment and got more than I had hoped for. It is a clever, slick, witty, brilliantly packaged action movie that delivers what it promises to. Logic definitely goes flying out of the window at times and some scenes will make you go ‘kuch bhi’ , but the screenplay clearly reminds you that you knew all along what you were in for. The action sequences are lavish and someone like me who is not exactly a fan of this genre was also mind blown.
Recent footage of her coming out of an airport had comments preaching karma and its cruel ways, that Samantha "deserved her illness" because she filed for divorce.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu fell from being the public’s sweetheart to a villain overnight because she filed for divorce. The actress was struck with myositis post divorce, much to the joy of certain groups (read sexist) in our society.
A troll responded to Samantha’s tweet, “Women Rising!!” by adding to it “just to fall”. She replied, “Getting back up makes it all the more sweeter, my friend.”
Here’s another insensitive tweet by BuzZ Basket showing fake concern for her autoimmune disease. “Feeling sad for Samantha, she lost all her charm and glow. When everyone thought she came out of divorce strongly and her professional life was seeing heights, myositis hit her badly, making her weak again.” Samantha responded, “I pray you never have to go through months of treatment and medication like I did. And here’s some love from me to add to your glow.”
