Are You Eating Right This Summer?
In the sweltering heat of a Bangladeshi summer, our bodies crave something different. Rather than sticking to our usual diet, one needs to bring change in their food habits. It is common knowledge that our body needs to replenish the water lost. While this is key, is it enough?
We spoke to Chowdhury Tasneem Hasin, Chief Clinical Dietician and HOD, Dietetics and Nutrition, United Hospital Ltd on what dietary changes one should make to stay healthy in summer. The following are some of the suggestions she shared.
