This type of digestion can lead to loose stool, sensations of heartburn or excessive burping and ulcers. In this case, the body craves hot and spicy food, if taken, worsens the condition.
There can be many reasons for this kind of indigestion. Maybe we’ve eaten too much, ate a heavy meal right before sleeping, mixed incompatible foods, or ate the wrong food at the wrong time.
One way to keep indigestion at bay during the summer season is to choose cooling foods over hot and spicy ones (however much we seem to crave them).
Here are some great food options for the summer:
Amla
This bitter sour wonderfruit is packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, protects the body from hot winds, and releases heat from the body preventing boils, acne, rashes.
Eat it raw or drink its juice to stay cool.
Ghee
Loaded with healthy fats, desi ghee can help restore the body’s internal moisture lost in the heat of the summer. It strengthens digestion, boosts stamina, soothes and cools the body.

Water-rich Fruits
Delightful fruits of the summer season - melons, berries, grapes, pineapples, peaches, mangos,litchies - all have great energy content and will keep you hydrated with a delicious twist.
