Nautapa begins in the month of Jyeshtha, when the heat is at its peak, and it has already begun today. The intense heat and scorching sun during this period directly impact our bodies. Excessive sweating rapidly removes water and essential minerals from the body, leading to dehydration, weakness, headaches, and digestive problems. So, let's take a few things into account.

What should you eat during Nautapa?
The primary rule of thumb for eating during Nautapa is to eat foods that are light to digest and contain plenty of water.

Water-rich seasonal fruits
like watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, and orange should be included in your diet these days. They contain more than 90 percent water, which helps maintain fluid balance in the body.

Desi Drinks:
Instead of market packed juices or cold drinks, include homemade traditional drinks in your diet.

Buttermilk and Yogurt – A glass of buttermilk with mint and roasted cumin seeds or a bowl of yogurt at lunch is like heaven. It boosts the good bacteria in the gut and aids digestion.

Mango Panna – Raw mango panna is an effective remedy to protect from heat stroke.

Sattu Sharbat – Gram Sattu not only cools the body instantly but also maintains energy for a long time.
