HEALTH NEWS - Proper care during pregnancy tips is a must, the same is more so important in summers. If one is pregnant in the middle of the summer then at times the heat can be real discomforting. Mentioned below are few tips using which pregnant women can take care of themselves and fight heat in the summer season.

Stay Hydrated - Pregnant women often see the temperature of their bodies increase. The goal is to keep it stable. To combat heat, the number one tip is good internal hydration. This can be done through ample consumption of liquids; mainly water, but also fruit juice or intake of fresh vegetables with high water content. Thanks to their minerals and enzymes they are particularly beneficial. Thus in addition to drinking a lot, it is strongly recommended to include in one's diet, fruits, vegetables and soups or broths. Conversely, some too sweet drinks can cause a sensation of thirst shortly after ingestion thus avoid them as much as possible.

Cold Shower - To withstand high temperatures in summers, there is nothing better than baths or showers at room temperature. Although cold water showers are more tempting and desirable during hot weather, but they tend to increase body temperature because our body has to work to adapt to the ambient temperature. That's why; a few minutes after a cold shower one will be hot again. But a cold shower at dawn or just before bed will refresh you for several hours. If one is not used to it, do it gradually, starting with the shower head on your feet, legs and then your arms. Make the belly last, while massaging it in circular motions.
