India. Also sip some coconut water if you are in West Bengal or Kerala, this
is the finest drink God has created for us. Also savour on the red juicy
watermelons, this will help you survive under the burning heat of the Sun.
Few Difficulties : Summer is the toughest period in
India. There is scarcity of water everywhere. You might get trapped by some
sun borne and water borne diseases like - dehydration, sun stroke, typhoid,
etc., as the sun at this part of the world is burning hot. In the remote
areas you might not find good quality hospitals.
Few Suggestions : Avoid strenuous activity during the
hottest hours, and make sure you drink plenty of non-alcoholic liquids to
balance the loss of body fluid through perspiration. What you drink must be
safe - either soft drinks from sealed cans or bottles, or water which has
been boiled or is bottled.
Carry protective creams suitable for your skin type, which will help
protect unavoidably exposed parts of the body. Stay out of the scorching
sun, use what shade there is at other times, and cover up with a
wide-brimmed hat and tightly woven but loose clothing.
