Some foods are best avoided in heat, as they can increase the smell of sweat and contribute to dehydration.
This information was reported by Medicalanswers, reports “URA-Inform”.
Doctors noted that in the summer people often rely on ice cream, cold kvass, okroshka and other cooling products. At the same time, they emphasized that in some cultures there is a practice of drinking hot drinks in the heat, for example, in Central Asia it is customary to drink hot tea to cause natural cooling of the body.
However, there are certain foods that can increase the unpleasant smell of sweat. These are cabbage, chicken eggs, onions and garlic. They all contain sulfur, which, when excreted from the body along with sweat, increases its smell. Alcohol can also lead to dehydration and an increase in unpleasant body odor.
On hot days, it is especially important to monitor your water balance. Dehydration is dangerous in any weather, but in the summer it can lead to complications for the heart, kidneys, and liver. It is recommended to drink enough water and avoid drinks with high sugar content, as they can cause obesity.
Thus, choosing the right foods and maintaining water balance will help you feel more comfortable and healthier in hot weather.
